Postpartum care begins with a prenatal consultation. Together we can create a postpartum care plan, determine what a family’s growth edges may be, and where their strengths lie. This meeting helps us to better understand what a successful fourth trimester looks like for you.

Assistance during the postpartum period is focused on the birthing parent’s recovery, the non-gestational parent’s experience, and newborn care. I offer emotional and educational guidance while addressing common challenges associated with chest/body or bottle feeding, caring for multiples, creating routine, and anxiety around newborn care. Other areas of support include creatively adapting methods of care to accommodate parents with limited mobility, encouraging spiritual connections when navigating self care after a traumatic birthing experience, and referral to medical professionals as needed.
