HOW CAN I BEST SUPPORT YOU?

ANTENATAL SUPPORT

When we know better we have the power to do better. Preparing for a positive birth is essential, there’s no right or wrong way, just your way.

I prefer to structure my antenatal sessions over 3 separate 1.5 hour classes. This particular timeline supports the digestion of information and helps retain the multiple layers of pregnancy, birth and beyond.

However, with understanding we all live busy lives- I am happy to complete the education during one extended session.

My intension is for you and your birth partner to complete these sessions feeling, fearless, empowered and confident about your birthing experience.

POSTPARTUM PLANNING

Although there are so many unpredictabilities throughout parenthood, postpartum planning is a great way to set firm boundaries and realistic expectations of what the 4th trimester can look like.

This is a crucial component and can positively impact your postpartum experience. Never underestimate good quality support, there is so much power in planning.

POSTPARTUM SUPPORT

Postpartum is a profound period in a mothers life, the way in which we experience the first 40 days can impact the next 40 years. Rest and recovery is a significant value of mine and I hold immense space for the mother during this phase.

During my visits I like to customise my services to support YOUR unique family lifestyle. I find this works well when we have a plan in place before your little babe arrives.

I highly recommend my postpartum planning session as an add on (postpartum planning is included in the antenatal offerings).

With all this in mind I meet all my clients where they’re at, and offer support to ALL newborn families.
