Postpartum Healing
Pregnancy and birth have great demands on the female body, which means the fourth trimester is a time to heal. It’s a time to nourish the body with the best nutrition and emotional support to ensure mum and bub have the healthiest and happiest start to their next chapter. However, it is not up to the mother to take on this responsibility, but sadly in the Western culture it is more often the case. Our ‘village’ needs to include practitioners and healers who can hold the mother during this time, while mum holds her new babe. We don’t talk about postpartum healing enough, and it needs to be at the forefront of women’s health for short and long term health. Whether you are purchasing this for yourself, or as a gift, by doing so you are contributing to a future of supporting females and the journey that is motherhood.

At home consults
New mum’s shouldn’t feel any guilt about remaining at home for as long as they need to post birth while bonding with their bub. That’s why I come to you. I can offer assistance around what foods to eat after birth to heal and to aid breastfeeding, while I also provide emotional support. The right foods are essential for healing and for setting up long term health, for mum and bub. At home consults can be done at any stage during the fourth trimester. Think of this as a standard clinic appointment, but in the comfort of your own home. PJ’s and mum in bed is completely expected.
$195 for up to 90 mins (initial consult)
$140 for up to 1 hour (return consult)

Sauna Sessions
After 6 weeks postpartum, your body could do with some love and deep warmth. The humidity from the traditional Finnish sauna has intense healing properties, stimulating blood flow to areas that need healing and helping the flow of blood and breast milk. Above all, it gives you a moment of stillness, and a minute to yourself.
From $40 for a 45 minute session

Baby wearing dance classes - coming soon!
After birth we have a transformed and powerful body. It has been pushed to it’s limits and has shown it’s brilliance by growing and creating another human. However at times when we are exhausted from caring for our bubs all day we can forget this. Sometimes you just need to remember your power. Dance is a great way to connect back with yourself. It’s easy, postpartum friendly, and a chance for you to do something fun and active while bub (hopefully) sleeps in the baby carrier. Classes are 1 hour.
$12 drop in class
$50 for 5 classes
