CONGRATULATIONS! YOU JUST HAD A BABY!

Did you know that under standard maternity care a mother receives approximately 700 minutes of care when she's pregnant and approximately 30 minutes of care when she's postpartum?

SO MANY WANT TO HOLD THE BABY, BUT WHO HOLDS THE MOTHER?

Imagine if moms were truly asked how they are feeling and if they have the resources and support they need. Imagine if they received the level of care their baby does, while their body and mind recover from birth on no sleep, depleted in nutrients and adapting to a whole new life as mom.

Imagine how much healthier moms would be if we supported them beyond just a brief 6-week check-up.

WHY THIS SERVICE EXISTS

WHAT DOES THIS SERVICE INCLUDES?

We provide 5 postpartum visits/checks during the first 6-8 weeks after the birth. Every postpartum care appointment consisting in checking your blood pressure, temperature, fundal height, assessing bleeding, perineal/scar healing, staple removal and the mother's physical and emotional well-being with a true holistic approach tailored to your specific needs.
