Postnatal Support for You
What does my postnatal support include?
Depending on your set-up and needs, my support can look different for each family. However, I will always do my best to ensure that you rest and replenish. At our first complimentary* meeting, we will discuss a care plan to ensure that you get the support you wish for (yet, I can still be flexible and adapt to changes that may arise during your postpartum journey).
Supporting you could mean looking after your baby while you take a nap or have a bath. It could also mean assisting you with feeding, infant care, light household tasks and childcare for older children. Different strengthening and pampering treatments are also part of my offer. My aim is for you to enjoy this special time as carefree and supported as possible. Finally, I bring little gifts to aid your recovery, as well as an open ear and gentle touch.
*Depending on where you live, I may need to ask for a contribution for my fuel expenses.
Warmth and comfort
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda and other traditions, keeping warm is an essential element of good postnatal care. As part of my support, I can give you warming massages, prepare herbal baths and Moxa therapy.
Shamanic Healing Work
Should it be your wish, I can support you with Shamanic Healing sessions. We could either look at those as part of your prenatal preparation, or as a form of energetic debrief after birth. (A Shamanic Healing session would be a possible add-on to your postnatal support.) For more information, please see below.
Your Investment in Postnatal Support
You can book me at any time during your pregnancy (as part of your plan for postpartum), as well as, after your baby is born, or as a support when your baby is already older.
As a mum and the oldest of eight, I have plenty of experience in infant care and looking after children.
I'm also fully DBS checked and completed my training as a breastfeeding peer supporter with the Breastfeeding Network. I hold a Level 2 certificate in Safeguarding Children.
My fees are £ 17 per hour.
You can book me for a block of hours that you may want to use individually (The minimum there would be a block of 3 hours).
Or...
You can book me for 20 hours >
- £ 17 x 20 h = £ 340
Or for 40 hours
- £ 17 x 40 h = £ 680
(You can book any amount of hours, with 3-hour slots being the minimum)
For postnatal support, I usually take payments in full before your baby is born.
I cover Helston, the Lizard and surroundings. Also, Truro, Falmouth and Penzance areas. (Pretty much anything that is within a one-hour drive from Helston)
*Depending on where you're based, I might need to charge for fuel expenses.
