Childbirth and new motherhood is rite of passage, that in our western society generally isn't given the reverence it deserves...the reverence the mother deserves! A lot of the time it becomes all about the baby, and mum is often expected to (or feels she has to) just pick back up where she left off before this huge and often overwhelming transition occurred, when afterwards you may not even feel like the same person anymore. So much changes physically, emotionally, practically and in your relationships - that regardless of how much you may plan for the time after your baby is born, nothing can really prepare you for the huge transition that takes place.
This can often come as a bit of a shock, and you may find yourself feeling like a bit of extra support and nurturing would be a valuable investment at this time, to help you gently navigate the inevitable transition and challenges that can come with new parenthood.
​
This is a service that I would have loved to have had in my early days as a new mum. I don't live close to any family, and didn't have any close friends nearby, so after the initial excitement of the birth had settled, and my husband had gone back to work, the days were often a struggle. It was quite a lonely time, whilst trying to figure it all out mostly by myself. I would have found it so helpful to have had someone to help me plan for this time, manage expectations and be generally supportive and nurturing while I adjusted to my new role and learnt to trust my own intuition as a mother.
​
The postnatal period can sometimes present more challenges if your birth has been difficult, or maybe didn't work out as you had hoped or expected, so you may find this type of support even more valuable if you are in this situation. This time can be hard for partners too, but I can help you as a family to adjust and feel supported.
What you can expect:
-
Private postnatal support in the comfort of your own home, bespoke to your individual needs.
-
Support and guidance from an experienced midwife & nurse with over 15 years of experience in midwifery and neonatal care.
-
Time and opportunity to reflect on your recent birth experience.​
-
Reassurance, encouragement and support with feeding options and techniques - however you choose to feed your baby.

Opportunity to discuss options of all aspects of postnatal care and development.
-
Practical help to allow you time to focus on yours and your baby's needs.
-
A chance for you to sleep/rest while someone trusted and experienced can look after your baby.
Initial booking for this service is for a 2 hour home visit ​ - with an investment of £120.
During this appointment we will have an in-depth discussion of your needs, and I will offer guidance for planning for your postnatal period, and I will support you with whatever needs you have at this time.
If you wish to book further postnatal support, this is then charged at an hourly rate of £50/hour (a pricing agreement can be negotiated if you wish to book for a longer period of support)
