Postnatal Care and Support

The first days, first weeks, and first months after welcoming a new baby are a time of profound change. A time filled with love, bonding and getting to know your baby. Often also a time of adjustment, lack of sleep, little time for yourself and maybe even overwhelm. Traditionally, families were never meant to navigate this season alone, yet in today’s society many parents find themselves without the support network they need.

I can provide you with gentle, non-medical care centered on your recovery, empathy, and practical help. Supporting your wellbeing so you can rest, recover, and bond during this tender time in life.

​

The services I provide will be adjusted to your needs. In practice, I see that many new parents feel they lack support, but find it hard to know what they exactly need. If you are one of those, don't worry. If I come to your house and you don't have a clear plan of what you would like me to do, I will make sure that you feel the time was very well spend by the time I leave again.

​

Examples of things I could help you with are:

• being with your baby while you take time to shower or fulfil other personal care needs

• prepare you a meal, a warm drink, a healthy snack, etc.

• support you during breastfeeding, making sure you are comfortable, have an optimal position, and enhance relaxation with a shoulder rub or foot massage

• postpartum care like footbath, partial body massage, warm belly wrap or moxa treatment

• listening ear

• guided meditation and relaxation exercise to calm your nervous system

• guided breathing 

• small house hold tasks like cleaning dishes, laundry, toilet cleaning, etc.​

• I can bring groceries based on a list you prepare, or simply bringing basic food items like fruits, vegetables, bread, etc. I can also bring groceries for a meal I'll prepare.
