Postpartum Visit
1 to 3 days after baby is born (dependent on how things are going, assistance and support you may need):
  • At this visit we explore the birth story, exploring the details of the birth and any emotions that have come up since. We will explore whats to come in the next few month and talk through any concerns, Our main focus this early on is providing essential tools and education around nutrition, breast-feeding and bonding. We will always be available for continual support via text or phone.

"I couldn't have asked for a better support team. They were advocates, respectful and loving. They were amazing with my toddler, held my hand during labor and cried when my newborn entered the world. I don't know what my prenatal, my labor or my postpartum experiences would have been like without them ... And, I don't want to know!! We Love these ladies. They will always be a very special part of our story." - Kristal N.

Postpartum work can be very creative. The concept is to provide you, your home, your baby, your partner with anything they might need. Whether its your fridge stocked with delicious food, laundry folded, a foot rub, a full body massage, or a chance for you to take a long shower while one of us holds the baby or prepares some home made food. This is opportunity to support the new mother really excites us and we can adapt ourselves to accommodate what your family might need. Nutrition and health is a passion of ours and we are constantly working towards creative ways to bring vitality and balance to the body, We have years of experience when it comes to wellness from within. We strongly believe in supporting others with their own journey to optimal health. ​
