In-home support

*Currently unavailable until later in 2024*

I have put together a simple, flexible offering that can be tailored to meet your individual needs.  Sessions can be used to include a mix of whatever you need right now: traditional postpartum care, housekeeping, decluttering & organising, food & snack prep or even some plant and garden care. You might want to focus on getting prepared and set-up for baby’s arrival or some practical help and ideas on creating spaces in your home that will flow with your new daily rhythms.

The options listed below are varied and can be mixed and matched to best utilise my skills and knowledge in a way that meets your needs that day – think of it as a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ (Postpartum Edition)!  Home visits are approx. 2.5hrs and designed to be used to best suit the season you are currently in – before baby arrives, the early tender weeks of postpartum or further months and years down the track.

At the end of the day, my goal is to help you reduce some of the mental and physical load of mothering and running a household so that you can access the pockets of rest you really need. Postpartum doesn’t end at 6 or 12 weeks; whatever the season you are in – you deserve good care. I can support you in areas such as:

General Postpartum Care

  • Care of baby while you take some time to rest/bath/shower
  • General debriefing/emotional support
  • Guidance on safe bedsharing or co sleeping, setting up sleep spaces, nursery or nesting nooks
  • Best-practice guidance on the use of carriers, bottles, dummies, cloth nappies, swaddles/wraps
  • Sharing of community information, resources and referrals to help create your own village of support
  • Supporting you in becoming comfortable and confident in asking for help
  • Guidance on evidence-based, biologically normal infant behaviours around the topics of feeding, sleep and settling

Home, Kitchen & Garden Care

  • Pantry, fridge and freezer clean out & organisation
  • Getting some food prep started so meals and snacks are easily accessible
  • Preparing a big pot of chicken (or vegetable) stock for the fridge or freezer
  • Prepping some nourishing snacks and drinks like ghee, gummies, stewed fruit/crumble, herbal infusions or warming milk-based drinks (mini menu provided)
  • A general tidy up  and reset around the home (no deep cleaning)
  • Putting on or folding a load of washing, changing sheets & towels
  • Decluttering and organisation of spaces that will make daily life easier for you
  • Help you create daily rhythms that will nurture and meet the needs of your family
  • Advice on mindful acquisition of items for yourself and baby through a lower tox/waste lens, so you have what you need (without the excess and overwhelm)
  • Guidance on making simple changes towards living in a healthier home (with product recommendations to make simple, achievable swaps)
  • Indoor and outdoor plant care- watering, fertilising, tidying/light pruning, repotting, optimising positioning
