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 (and most likely I'd have brought you a sweet treat to go with it!)
-
If you want to have a shower or a rest I'd keep the baby with me, in a cosy soft sling, whilst batch cooking you something delicious and nutritious.
-
If there's any tidying need doing, any laundry to load/fold or any dishes to wash I'd try to do that too so I can be sure 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 £85, each visit would last 2 - 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.
