PHYSIOLOGIC MOTHER AND BABY CARE PROVIDER
& EDUCATOR
Holistic Postpartum Doula
CHRISTCHURCH AND CANTERBURY
Hello. Welcome. I’m Clowance.
I'm a certified Innate Postpartum Practitioner providing Physiologic Mother and Baby Care and Planning for the Fourth Trimester.
I believe our modern Children are showing us (through their behaviours) that we need to do things differently as Parents. I believe that modern Mothers are showing us through overrepresentation in adverse maternal health stats, that Mothers Need Better Care.
I believe societal shift is needed to improve maternal health outcomes for our Mothers and Children. This work is part of that repair.
The best way to bring forward Whole Children is to support the Mothers.
I am committed to bringing forward Physiologic Care of Mothers and Babies at BIRTH, as a way to repair ruptures to the natural process of Birth and raising our Children.

PHYSIOLOGIC MOTHER/BABY CARE SESSIONS
Physiologic Care is care that works with the body’s natural processes around birth and the postpartum period rather than interrupting or overriding them.
Just as there is physiological birth, there is also a physiological postpartum period.
Mothers are biologically designed to give birth and nurse their Babies. As a Care Provider, I protect and support the natural biological design we have as Humans during the early postpartum period.
Every care session is tailored to your family and your unique needs. Each session includes a meal pack of specialised, nourishing food: two large meals and two smaller meals plus snacks.
Sessions are available as a one-off visit or as part of an ongoing care plan.
Available to Christchurch and wider Canterbury.

Planning for the Fourth Trimester Workshop
During the early postpartum period, we are laying down the nervous systems of the next generation, building the emotional foundations of a new home and family dynamic, and deeply restoring a Mother so that she has the capacity to return and show up for her community.
This workshop has two parts. First, it provides a physiologic framework for healing in the postpartum period: the five cross-cultural (universal) tenets of care.
The second part works closely with participants (expectant couples or Mothers, and their support people) to plan and communicate their needs to each other for the weeks ahead. This plan also builds in meaningful ways of support from their community.
In-person and online.
