Postpartum Support

“I’ve observed more challenges with breastfeeding, adrenal fatigue, and thyroid problems among mothers who pushed too fast, too soon and didn’t allow adequate time to truly recover.” ~ Lily Nichols, “Real Food for Pregnancy”

Whether you are in need of emotional support, nourishment or just want someone to clean the toilet already, hiring help for the postpartum can be the difference between good and bad mental health. Perhaps you are a single mother, your partner travels for work, or the needs of your other kids are preventing you from truly resting. Regardless of what brings you to the place of needing hired help, you won’t regret it. 

What type of support do I offer postpartum?

  • Light housekeeping (including toilets!)
  • Laundry
  • Childminding (so you can take a nice long bath and nap)
  • Grocery shopping, meal prep
  • Breastfeeding support, extra training in tongue/lip tie support
  • Infant weight check
  • Birth Debriefing
  • Assistance obtaining medical records (if desired)
** Available to families within 75 minutes of Chatham, Ontario

At your initial visit, I will bring a “Nourishing the Mother” kit, which includes:

  • Custom-made “Postpartum Warming Tea”
  • Custom-made “Relaxation Soak” salt bath (enough for 2 soaks)
  • 2 L homemade bone broth
  • Fruit or vegetable snacking platter
  • 2 dozen homemade protein balls
  • 2 dozen homemade power muffins

Packages

** If none of these packages fit what your family needs, reach out to build a custom package.

Available Hours: 7am – 9pm

Supplementary meals: $30 each

** I continue to offer Birth Coaching to my clients, so there may be the rare occasion I need to reschedule due to a birth.

The best time to set up postpartum support is in the third trimester. Contact me below to discuss your particular needs, so you can be best prepared to transition into life with a new baby.
