They say the the first 40 days after birth determine how the next 40 years will be. It is a time to nurture the new mother, it is a time to nourish her body and soul after the immense threshold she has just crossed. They say each time a new baby is born so is a new mother, no matter how many children she has carried, each time is a new birthing, a new journey. If the mother is tended to, nourished and supported so will the baby be.

It is vital that our culture starts to realise the importance of this sacred time. Mothers need tending to so that they can tend to the new generation. The babies will flourish if the mother is well supported.

It is my passion to offer as much support as I can in these tender days post birth.

I offer support in different forms that we tailor together to suite you in a one to one session before your baby is born.
