THE FOURTH TRIMESTER
Bespoke in-person Postnatal Doula support and nourishment
Bundles of 3 to 12 visits offering you practical, emotional and physical support as you navigate the first tender weeks after giving birth.
What does a postpartum support visit looks like:
-
We would start with a check-in to understand what your needs are on that day and how you, your partner and your family are doing.
-
If needed, I'd offer recovery and breastfeeding support, or I would signpost you to my network of postnatal therapists and specialists.
-
I'd then offer to perhaps run you a foot bath - I'd bring salts, essential oils and herbs - and/or perhaps some light body work to help relief the tensions in the body.
-
Meanwhile I'd make you a soothing warm drink, like a herbal infusion, a turmeric latte or a chai. I'll also bring a energy and lactation friendly snack.
-
If you want to have a shower, a rest or a sleep I can keep the baby with me, in a cosy soft sling, whilst cooking you something delicious and nutritious with a homemade broth I prepare in advance.
-
If there's time I can also help with tidying up, load/fold laundry or load/unload the dishwasher.
-
My goal is to leave you with a sense of calm, warmth and peace around you, so you can focus solely on looking after yourself and mothering and nourishing your baby.
My rate per visit is £95, each visit would last around 3h
Postpartum planning sessions
Postpartum planning session that includes two portions of my postpartum KITCHARI for you to have ready to eat when the baby is born.
-
We can talk through some reminders of all the essentials to have in the house in preparation for the baby's arrival.
-
We can look at what support network/family/community you have and plan together how they can best support you.
-
We can plan your postpartum nourishment: a good overview of your kitchen supplies and your pantry so I can plan and buy all necessary ingredients in advance to be able to prepare the most soothing and recovery-focused food for you.
