‍In-home care that is tailored to you.

If you’ve never heard of a postpartum doula before, you’re not alone — in New Zealand, this kind of support is still rare. In many other cultures it’s the norm: someone comes to your home is the weeks after birth to look after you and your family, so that you can rest and heal whilst tending to your baby and the family adjusts to the new dynamic.

Every postpartum care session is tailored around what you and your family need most - whether that’s nourishing food, bodywork, baby support, or simply someone with experience and calm in your corner.

Sessions are available as a one-off visit or as part of an ongoing care plan. The more sessions you book, the more you save.

Every session is unique but will always include nourishing food prepared specifically for postpartum healing.

Sessions may also include:

• Bodywork tailored to the needs of new mothers

• Birth experience debrief and emotional support

• Ceremony/closing of the bones

• Family and baby support

• Expert guidance on postpartum recovery

• Herbal and homeopathic support

I believe Mothers already know what their bodies and babies need. My job is to help you trust that.

For Mothers, Fathers and Whanāu

There’s a lot of focus on preparing for the birth of your baby - what comes after is often left to chance. What many families don’t realise until they are in it, is that the early postpartum period can be one of the most challenging seasons ever for new families.

Trying to cobble together a plan whilst you are in the thick of it does not serve you or your family.

Most Fathers and partners want to help - this class shows you how.

Ancient healing traditions - from Ayurveda to Chinese Medicine - have long understood that how a woman is nourished and cared for in the weeks after birth has a profound impact on her health for decades to come. When mothers don’t receive the warmth, rest and nourishment they need, depletion can quietly surface years later - in low energy levels, hormone in balance and how a woman experiences perimenopause and beyond.

Planning for this period is preventative health care.

This workshop brings families together to do exactly that - prepare, connect and step into the postpartum with intention.
