Postpartum Recovery Care 0 - 6 weeks
Immediate postpartum care
I offer a range of Postpartum Recovery Treatments designed to provide new mothers with supportive care during the first six weeks after childbirth. These weekly treatments aim to help mothers feel fully rejuvenated and restored as they transition from their postpartum resting period.
The treatments are grounded in the 5 Pillars of Traditional Postpartum Care, with some elements adapted and modernized to better align with contemporary lifestyles and needs.
The 5 Pillars of Postpartum Care are defined by
Rest
Recovery
Warmth
Nutrition
Support

Home Visits
I love seeing my clients back in the clinic after their birth, however, I also encourage women to stay in their homes to rest and recover for the first 40 days, so I offer home visits* during the initial 6 weeks post-birth.
1.5 - 2 hour sessions (60 - 90 minutes ‘on-table’ treatment time)
Minimum of 3 sessions booked
Individualised recovery treatments for presenting issues using appropriate modalities.
*Conditions apply - e.g. days & locations (20-minute radius from Rankin Park). Don’t hesitate to contact me for further information & prices.
In some circles it is said with love that postpartum is for life, therefore I still do treat mums during their first 3 years after every birth, not just for the first 6 weeks.
It is never too late to enjoy some ‘Mother-warming’ moxibustion, abdominal massage or get some herbal and nutritional advice for any signs of postpartum depletion.
