Rest & retreat
I can look after your baby and other children while you shower, nap or take a quiet moment; help with light household tasks; and make room for unhurried time to recover and bond.
HOLISTIC POSTNATAL CARE
Care for the mother, as well as the baby.
Pregnancy and birth ask so much of you. The weeks and months afterwards deserve tenderness, time and thoughtful support too.
My role is to care for you as you recover, bond with your baby and find your own way into motherhood — with practical help, a listening ear and gentle, personalised support.
Let's talk about your needs ↗
THE FOURTH TRIMESTER
Mothering the mother.
Across many cultures, the postpartum period is recognised as a time when a new mother needs care, warmth, nourishment and protection from everyday demands. Rather than expecting you to return immediately to normal, I believe in creating the space for you to rest, be supported and get to know your baby.
Every family is different. We can shape our time together around your recovery, your choices and what would genuinely help you feel held.
BEFORE YOUR BABY ARRIVES
Antenatal preparation & postpartum planning.
I offer a two-hour antenatal planning session to help you think beyond birth and prepare for the weeks and months afterwards. Together we can create a flexible postpartum plan that reflects your family, circumstances and wishes.

The aim isn't to plan every moment, but to make sure the people around you know how to care for you, too.

Small acts of care, deeply felt.
Traditional postpartum wisdom often centres on rest, warmth, nourishment, loving touch and community. These principles guide the practical and emotional support I offer, alongside evidence-based information and respect for your individual needs.
Warmth & comfort
A cosy environment, a warm drink, gentle reassurance and attention to your comfort can help you feel cared for during this tender transition.
Nourishment
Warming, home-cooked food and drinks are central to my approach. I can help with practical food preparation during visits, and offer food bundles separately when you need additional support.
Loving touch & bodywork
I offer postpartum massage, wrapping and bodywork with Wùo Taï elements, herbal foot baths and massage as nurturing opportunities to slow down, reconnect with your body and be cared for, as many times as you wish in our time together.
Community & emotional support
I offer a non-judgemental listening ear, space to share your birth story, support with older children and practical ways to involve your wider support network.
Feeding & confidence
Whether you breastfeed, bottle-feed or combine approaches, I can offer infant-feeding support, share evidence-based information and signpost you to specialist care when needed.
GENTLE HANDS-ON CARE
Space to come back to yourself.
Any form of bodywork and caring touch that I offer is an invitation, an opportunity to be held and cared for, at your pace.
It is available whenever you wish to receive it and it is a reminder that you need to be cared for too, in order to be present for your baby.

There is no one right way to be postpartum.
My care is flexible, respectful and led by you. Some days you may want a conversation or feeding support; other days a massage, a warm meal or a little help around the home.
At present, my postnatal visits are two hours long, with an emphasis on hands-on care, bodywork and feeding support. Food bundles can be arranged separately.
