Tending to the newborn Mother as she emerges through the sacred window of postpartum.

There is never a time more vulnerable than the tender first weeks of Postpartum, where a woman meets herself as a whole new being, not yet fully anchored as the Mother she will grow into, not the version of self she was before birth. 
 
No matter how many times a woman has birthed she will continue to meet a new, deeper sense of self. She is cracked wide open, where old parts no longer fit, where she is completely restructured, rewired and rebirthed. 
 
My ethos for Postpartum care is about honouring the Mother at the centre of it all, society has forgotten the place of the Mother, the one who nourishes all life, and so we have forgotten to nourish Her. 
She is made to feel isolated, incompetent and mostly to go against her instinct. 
'Mother' is about tending to, holding, and witnessing the Newborn Mother so she may hold and nourish her babe. 
 
It is said that the first 40days of postpartum shapes a woman's health for the rest of her reproductive cycle. What is not tended to after birth may arise in menopause. What is depleted and undernourished leads to disease within the body in later years. 
 
 Nourishment
What we nourish the body with, nourishes our babies. It helps to heal and rebuild the Mother from the inside. Using Organic fresh ingredients, homemade recipes to help hydrate, ground, warm and replenish your body. With digestive fire low, Mothers need food that is easily digestible, like broth, soups and congee, herbal teas to rehydrate and sweetness to ground and booth energy levels. Curating dishes to balance individual Mothers needs. 


Body/Womb Care
A vital pillar within the foundation of postpartum care. Using many practices, tools and rituals I've come to personally cherish over my many years of woman's holistic support. 
We bring gentle touch and tending to the Mothers body to aid in soothing the nervous system, ease arching muscles from birth or feeding, supporting the womb as returns to size. 
Body care rituals will include:
Womb Wrapping/Belly binding - A beautiful tool to help Mother feel held & supported emotionally, energetically & physically. 
Gentle massage, shoulders, feet, back, womb. 
Somatic exploration- to aid in emotional release, body reconnection, birth processing. 
Womb & Abdominal oiling.
Herbal Sitz Baths & Yoni Steams
Gentle Breath work & Mediation
Herbal Foot Baths.

Placenta Care:
You may wish to honour your placenta in many different ways and here are some of the ways I can aid in supporting you to do so.

✽ Placenta Printing; Creating beautiful works of art to remember the very essence of her. 

✽ Lotus Birth; Leaving the cord attached until it naturally dries & drops off, I can help tend to the placenta to keep her fresh and also show partners/family also. 

✽ Burial or burning Ceremony: if/when the time feels right to say goodbye with grace we honour your Placenta in deep ritual & Ceremony. This can be part of the closing of the 40day sacred window or anytime during. If we wish to keep her frozen longer and want to honour her after the 40days this is something we can arrange. 

✽Ingesting; either as fresh/frozen pieces of placenta or dried and capsulated we harvest a small amount of flesh from the mother side of the placenta (usually within the first 2/3 days for freshness)
