pregnancy, birth and postpartum support
support for a conscious and connected experience
As an undeniably spiritual and transitional unraveling, I firmly believe that birth offers women, partners and parents opportunities that are rare to come by. By investing in this experience through support services, educational resources and a return to the self, you will explore the corners of these opportunities and integrate them into your being. As your support person, my main role is to create a space where you can cultivate your self-trust. Trust in your body, your baby, your partner, and the experience that is unfolding. This is unique to you and your experience, however, our time together can include:
~ understanding birth as a physiological event and how to support it
~ education about the hospital birthing systems and how to navigate them
~ relaxation tools for pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding
~ breastfeeding education and resources
~ postpartum organisation incl. meal train
~ on call birth support (from 38 weeks)
~ tens machine, CUB and rebozo hire for birth
~ postpartum meal deliveries
~ postpartum bodywork (bengkung belly binding, womb hara massage, castor oil packs)
+ add on of birth photography optional
the crux of this support is just that; support.
I find what most people need in this time is to simply be heard and seen in their experience. It isn't until you experience pregnancy, birth and postpartum that you deeply feel how unnatural it is for our species to do this alone. What often creates a positive experience is being loved and nurtured in the experience you are having. However, we are so removed from birth as a natural event that education and knowledge around birth helps expectant parents understand and surrender to the process.
I am committed to acknowledging and supporting the initiation for men as they transition into fatherhood, reaching out and reminding them that their experience, though different, is seen and heard. I in no way impinge on their place and power within this journey, and instead am support for women and their partners, protecting this space for you to explore this together.
The journey of same-sex parents and non-binary couples is one I acknowledge and support as I continue to expand my knowledge of their unique experiences navigating cultural and systematic attitudes. As I continue to become more aware of my own cultural conditioning, I work to break this down to be the best support for all family and couple dynamics.
pregnancy only support
Stepping into the world of pregnancy care, birth preparation and postpartum can be overwhelming. There is so much information online, so many confusing avenues that you could or could not go down, varrying types of care offered. If you're wanting clarification on your care options, unbiased and thorough birth education and preparation and information around postpartum and breastfeeding, pregnancy only support is here for you.
3-5 sessions, either in person or online, provides you with the information and support you are after, including many resources to support you as you journey through your birth and beyond.
postpartum only support
The adjustment to being a parent, whether the first or fourth time, is big. It takes time and requires ongoing support. Recovering from pregnancy and birth, setting up breastfeeding, a decrease in available sleep and a changing family dynamic are a lot to tackle while riding postpartum hormonal changes. Postpartum support is so unique to each family, but is focused on nourishing YOU so you can nourish your baby and begin this chapter from a strong foundation.
3-5 sessions, in person, offer you nourishing and healing meal deliveries, relaxing bodywork in the form of belly binding, womb hara massage, and castor oil packs, and a focus on the mental and emotional journey of postpartum through talking and debriefing.
