During the fourth trimester, a mother experiences the BIGGEST hormonal shift of her life. It's love-filled, messy, overwhelming and all-consuming at the same time. An extreme of polarities. It culminates to a huge identify shift beautiful, one that takes time to navigate and piece together this new version of you.
The phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" is one you would of heard of over and over again- but in our modern society where family and friends are leading their own busy lives, this idea of 'the village of support' feels elusive. Unfortunately the slower pace days- filled resting in bed with your baby and all your food brought to your bedside is almost unheard of. Mum depletion is all too common. I don't want you to just survive early postpartum, I want to see you flourish and thrive in this season of motherhood. You deserve this.
So I invite you gorgeous girl to make you a priority.
During our connection call we will intentionally map out what 'ideal' early postpartum would look like for you. We'll explore exactly what the postpartum pillars; rest, nourishment, warmth, touch, community and nature actually are and how together we can practically work them into this season for you so that your emotional, physical recovery & overall wellbeing can be best supported.
Our in person time together (whilst individually tailored to your likes and needs) can include:
- Birth debriefing so that you can process, facilitate healing and feel closure for such a transformational time of your life.
- How to set and manage boundaries to protect this sacred time
- How to stay connected with your partner and practical ways that they can support you in these early days
- All the breastfeeding support, education and reassurance (because we all know that can be a biggie in the early days and one that becomes overwhelming for so many)
- Watching your baby in your home so that you can have a rest or take a long, warm shower.
- Soaking your feet in magnesium salts whilst giving your tired achey shoulders and upper back a massage
- Caring for your newborn- swaddling, washing, changing and feeding
- Meal prepping for you in your home
- Domestic support around your home
