Postpartum Doula Support Package
Caring for you while you care for your baby.
The weeks following birth are a time of significant physical healing, hormonal change and emotional adjustment. Yet, while so much attention is given to preparing for birth, many mothers receive very little support in the weeks that follow. Inspired by traditional postpartum practices, my in-home care focuses on nourishing you, supporting your recovery and creating space for you to rest and bond with your baby. My six-week postpartum offering includes a prenatal planning session, four personalised postpartum visits and a closing bodywork ceremony.
What does it look like?
Before birth
We'll meet for a dedicated planning session to explore your hopes for postpartum, discuss your support network and identify what will help you feel cared for during the weeks ahead. Together, we'll create a personalised plan for your recovery and transition into motherhood.
After birth
I'll visit you in your home for four personalised postpartum sessions, with each visit shaped around your needs on the day. Whether you need a nourishing meal, space to process your birth experience, practical help around the home or simply time to rest, the focus is on caring for you while you care for your baby.
Closing ceremony
When you're ready, we'll finish with a gentle closing bodywork ceremony to honour your journey through pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. This offers space to reflect, integrate your experience and acknowledge the transition you've been through.
What does it include?
1 × prenatal postpartum planning session.
4 × two-hour in-home postpartum visits.
1 × closing bodywork ceremony.
The postpartum visits could include:
Freshly prepared warming meals, nourishing snacks and herbal elixirs.
Personalised naturopathic guidance + herbal medicine.
