Conscious Post Partum

Support & Healing for the
The journey after birth

The period after birth is a profound transition — one that looks and feels different for every individual and every family.

For many, it is the beginning of life with a new baby (or babies), filled with moments of wonder alongside exhaustion, uncertainty, joy, grief, and everything in between.
For others, it may involve navigating a baby’s time in the NICU, adapting to medical or developmental challenges, or learning how to care for a newborn while supporting older children.

For some, the postpartum period is marked by loss — carrying the grief of a baby who did not come home, or adjusting to a reality that looks very different than expected.

No matter the circumstances, the time after birth represents a new stage of life. It is a period of reorganisation — emotionally, physically, relationally, and neurologically — and it is not meant to be navigated alone.

Postpartum support and healing are available to meet you exactly where you are. Whatever you are carrying, support is here for you.

" Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum Blues? Postpartum Panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby and what we get is a total takeover of our lives."

Helping you heal: Physically, Mentally & Emotionally.

The postpartum period is a time of deep adjustment.

Your body is recovering from pregnancy and birth. Your emotions may be shifting. Your identity, relationships, and daily rhythms are changing — sometimes all at once. Becoming a parent, or stepping into a new version of parenthood, can feel expansive and overwhelming at the same time.

Most of us spend months preparing for birth. Far fewer are supported in the days, weeks, and months that follow.

Postpartum care is not an extra. It is part of how healing, bonding, and integration happen.

Birth Recovery

The transition from pregnancy to postpartum can be a profound shock to the body.

In the days following birth, the body is healing from significant internal changes — including the placental site, which requires rest and recovery even though it cannot be seen. Culturally, however, there is often pressure to resume activity quickly, despite the body’s need for slowing down and integration.

I offer early postpartum recovery sessions (including support within the first 48 hours when appropriate) to help the body settle, support healing, and restore communication across systems.

Postpartum planning — creating space for rest, bonding, and nervous-system regulation — is an important part of the care I offer.

Baby Blues & Depression

Hormonal shifts, lack of support, sleep deprivation, and unprocessed emotional experiences can all contribute to postpartum emotional distress.

BodyTalk sessions support the body in identifying what is contributing to imbalance — physically, emotionally, and neurologically — so that appropriate support and changes can be made.

This work does not label or pathologise.
It listens to what the body is communicating and supports integration at a pace that feels safe

Education & Support

As an Infant Sleep Educator, I support families in understanding infant sleep patterns — including when behaviours fall within typical developmental ranges and when additional support may be helpful.

My training in conscious and attachment-based parenting supports responsive caregiving, which is strongly associated with healthy emotional regulation and brain development.

Education is offered to build confidence, not dependency — helping you trust your instincts while feeling informed and supported.

Breastfeeding support

While I am not a registered lactation consultant, I bring both training and lived experience to breastfeeding support, along with a strong referral network of trusted professionals.

BodyTalk can support both parent and baby by addressing stress, tension, and communication challenges that may be affecting feeding. Many feeding struggles carry emotional or physiological stories that benefit from being gently listened to and supported.

Pregnancy & Infant Loss

For some, the postpartum period includes grief — carrying the loss of a baby who did not come home, or navigating life after pregnancy loss.

This is tender, complex territory.

I offer compassionate support for processing grief, honouring the experience, and supporting the body and nervous system through loss. My training includes companioning in pregnancy loss and early bereavement.

No matter how brief the journey, it mattered. You do not have to navigate this alone.

Post Partum Anxiety

Postpartum anxiety can arise even when care was taken to prepare emotionally during pregnancy.

Anxiety often involves a feedback loop between the mind’s worry and the body’s stress response. While the sensations feel immediate, there is usually an origin story — something the system is responding to based on past experience, perception, or stored stress.

BodyTalk supports the body in identifying and resolving these patterns at their root, helping restore a sense of steadiness and internal safety

Adoptive & Foster Parents

Welcoming a child through adoption or foster care is a profound transition — for the child and for you. This work can support your child in processing early separation, loss, or disruption, while also supporting you as you adapt to new roles, rhythms, and relationships. This is relational healing work — supporting bonding, trust, and regulation within the family system.

Life With a New Baby

o matter how a child comes into your life, the transition into life with a baby reshapes everything. My background in BodyTalk, infant sleep, conscious parenting, and pre- and perinatal psychology can be drawn on to support you as you navigate this new chapter — with presence, steadiness, and care.

Post-Adoption Support (for Birth Parents)

Choosing adoption is often made from a place of deep love and discernment — and it can still carry grief, guilt, or complex emotions. Support is available to help you process what has been experienced, honour your decision, and move forward with compassion for yourself.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

Post-Surrogacy Support

Surrogacy can be a meaningful and generous journey — and it can also be more emotionally and physically complex than anticipated. Support is available to help with both physical recovery and the emotional process of completion and letting go, honouring the journey you have moved through.

Whatever your postpartum experience looks like — joyful, overwhelming, grief-filled, or somewhere in between — support is here to meet you where you are.
