Postpartum Care is a radical investment in your health and wellbeing. Regulated and emotionally supported Mothers bring forth regulated and emotionally resilient children.
Together, we are shifting the common experience of Postpartum to a time of deep rest, nourishment and recovery.
My care centres the needs of Mothers and Babies and creates a system of support within the existing family structure. I specialise in embedding simple and inexpensive care practices into the rhythm of your family that is specific to the physiological needs of mothers and babies.
What you can typically expect from a Postpartum Care session with me:
Detailed, attentive care and witnessing
Birth experience debrief
Body work
Food prep
Breast feeding support
Sweet treats
Herbal support
Homeopathic suggestions/energetic support
Sleep support/strategies
Family support

My services are available to Christchurch City (includes travel) and wider Canterbury (travel expenses exclusive).
How to work with me:
I offer postpartum care sessions ($100NZD/hr) with a 3-hour minimum booking. Sessions are available pre-natally for postpartum planning or as in-home postpartum care support.
I work with Mothers at any stage of their Postpartum be it in the first 6 weeks or 10 years since. This includes pregnancy loss or intentional release.

Innate Traditions: Planning for the 4th Trimester
A full day workshop for Mothers, Fathers and Whānau
You’ve thought about the birth. But have you thought about what comes after?
The weeks and months following birth are one of the most profound - and most transformative periods of a family’s life. This full day workshop is designed to give you a real plan, a support network and the knowledge to navigate your postpartum with confidence and care.
This isn’t just another antenatal class. This is preparation for one of the most important times of your life.
What to expect
Set in a relaxing, retreat space in South Christchurch, the day is warm and unhurried, and information rich. You’ll learn alongside other families who are in the same season as you - and hopefully leave with connections that carry you through.
Lunch and refreshments provided. Partners and support people are not just welcome - they are essential.
Together we build in support, nourishment and capacity for the tender time ahead.

Mini mother retreats
Community is one of the most important factors in adjusting to life as a new mother.
Mothers need DAILY CONTACT with people she feels SAFE with and SEEN by. It is not normal for a new mother to be left alone with her new baby for extended periods of time. These drop-in mini retreats are designed to alleviate the isolation and loneliness that often comes with modern mothering.
I provide a space where you and (all of) your children are welcomed, fed and cared for. It’s a relaxed space where Mothers can come together and be in community.
A light meal and postpartum resources will be available and as a qualified postpartum doula you have access to me to talk through what ever your needs may be.
Held every first Wednesday of the month from 10am-1pm in South Christchurch.
Accessible price of $25 per retreat
Spaces are limited. Email me at info@modernmothership to book.
