Birth Education
Birth education sessions aim to provide you with information so that you feel prepared and equipped with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy and childbirth, without feeling overwhelmed and overloaded.
Tailored to your individual needs - we can work through your beliefs and fears about birth, identify any limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
Sessions will look to improve your understanding of female physiology and the hormones of birth . Together we will look at what is considered "normal", as well as variations of normal, complications and possible emergencies. You will likely want to better understand risks and how to assess these and make decisions that are right for you and your family. Practical preparation and tips will be included.
It will be important to spend time envisaging your dream birth, and ways to achieve this. Sessions are grounded in you taking responsibility and birthing on your own terms.
supporting mothers to have natural, empowered births.
Birth Attendance
Apprehensive about leaving your home and having your baby in a strange environment, where you feel out of control. Worried because birth didn’t go as planned last time or you've heard so many traumatic stories from friends, family and strangers, or recently read about the failing maternity system in the news. For those concerned about navigating the medical system and being coerced into unnecessary interventions. Maybe you don't have a robust support system who truly trust and believe in you and you're looking for someone who understands you and is unequivocally on your side.
I will be on call in the weeks leading up to and following your "due date". Attendance at your home, where you feel most comfortable and confident birthing and welcoming your little one. I will help you create boundaries and maintain an environment that optimises your physiology and protects the hormonal matrix, and limiting interference.
To be by your side during the birth; helping you tap into your innate wisdom and intuition, connect with your body and baby, and holding space for you to birth in a place of trust, power and authority. To support you in your immediate postpartum and transition into motherhood.
Our birth attendance services offer continuous support and guidance throughout labor and delivery, ensuring mothers feel empowered and supported during this transformative experience.
Postpartum Support
Assisting you in your fourth trimester needs so you can transition to postpartum life more easily, and have more capacity to step into and embrace motherhood.
Postpartum support is mother-centred, focusing on guiding and assisting mothers in their physical and emotional recovery after childbirth. For instance, listening to your birth story and experience, looking at ways to promote rest and recovery, and providing some nourishing foods and herbs to boost health.
The mother-baby dyad can also be supported during these sessions i.e. looking at the importance of skin-to-skin, breastfeeding support, exploring safe co-sleeping and bed sharing, decision-making during the fourth trimester.
Or providing an extra pair of hands around the house so you can have a shower in peace, don't have to worry about taking the dog for a walk, etc.
We offer comprehensive postpartum support to help mothers recover and transition smoothly into motherhood, providing assistance with breastfeeding, newborn care, and emotional well-being.
Birth Trauma Debriefs
Did you have a difficult experience last time you gave birth and never had the chance to tell your story and really be heard? Perhaps you don't feel like your birth was your own, decisions were taken out of your hands or your choices weren't respected. Maybe you didn't feel seen and supported and think that you were let down by those you relied on.
If you're struggling to come to terms with what happened then you might benefit from some debrief sessions. These sessions are personalised to the individual and are designed to provide you with the space to explore your birth story. Supporting you in understanding and processing your birth experience from a place of compassion may enable you to be more present and allow you to move forward with a new and more positive mindset.
As a result of these sessions together, it is hoped that you will feel validated. Our goal is that you believe that you can approach motherhood, any future births, or whatever the journey ahead may be, from a place of confidence and authority, fostering healing and resilience.
