Postpartum Doula Care
(In-home care in the Northern Rivers)
The first forty days after birth are a sacred window for rest, nourishment and recovery. This five-week postpartum offering is designed to gently hold you through those first precious weeks with practical support, nourishing food, herbal medicine, emotional care and restorative bodywork, so you can slow down, receive, and be deeply nurtured during one of life's greatest transitions.
WHYThe weeks following birth are some of the most tender and transformative of a woman and her families life. While so much attention is given to preparing for birth, very little is given to preparing for what comes after.
Across many traditional cultures, the first forty days after birth are recognised as a sacred window for rest, nourishment and recovery. During this time, the focus is placed not only on caring for the baby, but on caring for the mother. When a mother is deeply supported, she is better able to recover, bond with her baby, establish breastfeeding, and transition into motherhood feeling resourced rather than depleted.
This five-week postpartum offering is inspired by this ancient wisdom and is designed to gently hold you through those first precious weeks so that you can be deeply nurtured during one of life's greatest transitions.
WHATOver five weeks, I will visit you in your home for six individual two-hour sessions, offering personalised support that meets you where you are at each week.
Each visit may include:
A freshly prepared warming, nourishing meal made in your home.
Herbal medicine to support healing, recovery, milk supply and nervous system health where appropriate.
Birth debriefing and emotional support as you process your birth experience and transition into motherhood.
Gentle help around the home, whether that's folding washing, preparing food, tidying the kitchen, or holding the baby while you shower or rest.
Education and guidance to help you feel confident as you settle into life with your baby.
A calm, grounding presence and someone to care for you while you care for your little one.
Our final visit concludes with a closing 2 hour bodywork ceremony—a beautiful ritual to honour your pregnancy, birth and the completion of the initial postpartum chapter and our time together. This gentle closing practice offers warmth, stillness and space to acknowledge everything your body, heart and spirit have opened and journeyed through.
WHOAbout you: Postpartum care should centre the mother just as much as the baby. This offering is available to all mothers, whether this is your first baby or fourth. Every birth deserves to be honoured, and every mother deserves to be cared for.
About me: As a naturopath, psychotherapist and doula, my approach blends evidence-informed healthcare with traditional postpartum wisdom. I support mothers through the physical recovery of birth, the emotional transition into motherhood, and the profound identity changes that often accompany this season of life. My care is integrative, holistic, gentle and deeply personalised. There is no expectation that you have everything together. My role is to create space for you to rest, to be nourished, to ask questions, to process your experience, and to receive the kind of care that every mother deserves.
