Postpartum is forever. The early weeks after birth are tender, transformative, and unlike any other season of life. Our private, in-home postpartum preparation session gives you the space, support, and personalised guidance you deserve as you step into the fourth trimester.

This 5-hour session is designed for individuals, couples, and families wanting a grounded, culturally-aware, and evidence-based approach to life after birth. Rather than a group workshop, this is support crafted around you — your needs, your history, your hopes, and the unique rhythm of your household.

Birth is one moment. Postpartum is an unfolding. We help you prepare for both the beauty and the reality of that transition.

What Private Birth Education Offers

A personalised and deeply supportive experience

Your doula comes to your home and works closely with you (and your partner, if present) to explore the emotional, physical, and practical aspects of early postpartum. Every part of the session is shaped around what matters most to you.

Calm, clear, culturally-aware education

We weave together evidence-based information, traditional postpartum wisdom, somatic practices, and real-world tools that help you feel confident, steady, and cared for.

Postpartum planning that actually works

Instead of vague ideas or overwhelming checklists, you’ll leave with a personalised postpartum plan built from your values, needs, boundaries, supports, and environment.

Partner-centred support and guidance

Partners gain insight into the early days with a newborn, practical ways to support recovery, and tools to help create a calm, nurturing household rhythm.

What We Can Cover During Your Session

• Understanding the fourth trimester and the identity shift of matrescence

• Hormonal changes, emotional landscape and what is truly “normal”

• Rest, recovery, nourishment, and healing postpartum

• Feeding foundations (breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, mixed feeding)

• Infant settling, co-regulation, intuitive soothing, and newborn needs

• Sleep expectations: realistic, biologically normal patterns

• Building your postpartum sanctuary and home rhythms

• Boundaries, visitors, and relationship dynamics

• Mapping supports: professional, community, familial

• Somatic grounding tools for stress, overwhelm, and emotional regulation

• Gentle movement and breathwork practices

• Cultural approaches to postpartum care (warmth, nourishment, rest)

Your doula adapts the depth, pace, and focus of each topic to what feels most meaningful for you.
