Benefits Of Having A Postpartum Plan

Creating a postpartum plan is beneficial for an expecting mother because it allows her to:

- Prepare for Recovery: Childbirth is physically demanding, and having a plan in place can help the mother prepare for her recovery, including rest, nutrition, and self-care practices.

- Anticipate Needs: A postpartum plan helps the mother anticipate her own needs as well as the needs of her newborn, ensuring that she has the necessary support and resources ready.

- Set Realistic Expectations: Planning for the postpartum period helps the mother set realistic expectations for herself and her family, reducing stress and anxiety during this transition.

- Identify Support Systems: A postpartum plan allows the mother to identify her support systems, whether it's family, friends, or professional support like a postpartum doula, and how they can assist her during this time.

- Ensure Self-Care: By planning for postpartum care, the mother can prioritize her own well-being, which is crucial for her recovery and adjustment to motherhood.

what do you get with a consultation?

To help you plan and prepare for postpartum, I offer a 90 minute consultation that includes a 60 minute follow up.

During the first 90 minutes I will help to educate you about the different ways you can care for yourself and your child following birth. The goal is to provide you with a holistic set of tools you need to move through postpartum. I cover topics such as: education on lactation, diapering, herbal support, hormonal changes, meal train setup, and the importance of nesting. I will be able to answer any questions you have, and throughout the consultation I will be getting to know you by asking questions.

After the 90 minute consultation I will create a personalized plan made just for you. During the additional 60 minute consultation we will go over your plan and I will answer any other questions that come up. At the end of the consultations you will be empowered to take an active role in your postpartum care, and having a plan will ensure that you have the support and resources you need for a healthy and positive postpartum experience.

The cost for a 1:1 Consultation plus postpartum plan is $125. The initial 90 minute consultation can take place in-person or virtual. The 60 minute follow up will take place virtually (Zoom or Facetime).
