My Postnatal Support Philosophy

You’re the Expert on Your Baby

I’m here to support your instincts, not override them. Every family is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to early parenthood.

Rest and Recovery Matter

Your body has done something incredible. Proper rest and nourishment aren’t luxuries – they’re essential for your wellbeing and your ability to care for your baby.

The Whole Family Needs Support

New babies affect everyone. I’ll help your partner feel confident too, and support any older children as they adjust to their new sibling.

It’s Normal to Feel Overwhelmed

Early parenthood is intense. Whatever you’re feeling – joy, anxiety, exhaustion, uncertainty – it’s all completely normal, and you’re not alone.

Your Fourth Trimester Journey

The 12 weeks after birth bring profound changes. My postnatal support evolves with your needs, from intensive early care to building your confidence and independence:

  • Weeks 1-2
    Focus on your recovery, feeding establishment, and newborn care while I handle household duties
  • Weeks 3-4
    Support as you develop your routines, introducing gentle bonding activities like baby massage
  • Weeks 5-6
    Gradual transition to independence with continued emotional support
    Weeks 7-12: Flexible assistance as needed, celebrating growth and addressing new challenges

My role isn’t to take over or dictate—it’s to nurture your confidence while providing practical help and evidence-based guidance, allowing you to discover your unique family rhythm and trust your instincts.

Postnatal Support Packages

“Em’s support during my pregnancy was incredibly reassuring, and during labour, her guidance on breathing techniques helped me stay calm. Her knowledge of biomechanics was a game-changer, with positions and movements that kept me comfortable and helped things progress smoothly. Her expert care and compassion empowered me throughout the whole experience.”
