Postpartum Support

Supplementary Postpartum Care Package

For folks who aren’t interested in or eligible for a homebirth, the supplementary postpartum care package offers an opportunity to receive midwifery care in the postpartum, to fill in the gaps of conventional OB care during this pivotal period.

This three appointment package includes home visits 2 days after you come home from the hospital, 2 weeks postpartum, and four weeks postpartum. Highly flexible and customizable, you can add appointments or adjust the timing as needed. I check you and the baby’s vitals and clinical picture, provide feeding support, assess emotional wellness and offer guidance and care in your healing journey. This is an excellent gift for new parents, if you’d like to purchase this care on behalf of someone else just send me an email.

Fee: $450 for three visit package.

For clients having a homebirth with me, all postpartum appointments are included in the homebirth fee.

Ceasrean Scar Tissue Massage

There are many reasons for cesarean birth. It can be chosen or unexpected; life saving or unnecessary. One consistent truth is that cesarean section is an intensive surgery and the body requires care, attention and respect as it heals.

Cesarean scar tissue remediation massage is performed in your home and promotes healing of the seven layers of tissue from the external scar to the uterus itself. This modality is appropriate for people who are at least 6 weeks postpartum and can still be beneficial many years after the birth.

The benefits include:

• Reduced redness, keloids and inflammation of the external scar
• Increased innervation of the pelvic area
• Increased blood flow to the pelvic organs
• Increased fertility
• Improved sexual and reproductive health
• Reduced constipation
• Reduced urinary tract infections and incontinence

This service is a wonderful gift to new parents who have given birth by cesarean! Contact me to order a gift certificate.
