Integrative postpartum consulting is individualized, multifaceted support throughout the postpartum period through customized materials and regular visits, starting in the third trimester and continuing through your baby’s first year of life. We prepare for, protect and enrich the sacred time following a new baby’s birth to ensure the birthing parent and family move through this transformational period with knowledge and vitality. 

Care is tailored to each family’s unique needs, drawing from conventional medicine and from the worlds of complementary and alternative medicine and traditional practices. 

The first visit happens in the third trimester, and postpartum visits start in the first week after your baby is born all the way through their first year of life. We start with two postpartum visits per week in the first month, and visits decrease in frequency as baby gets older.

It is also an option to do just one visit at a time, if that is what works best for you and your family.

During visits, any curiosities and concerns can be addressed, including, but not in any way limited to: breastfeeding, pumping, infant care, nutrition, mindfulness practices, managing daily life needs, and any other questions that may come up during this time of intense change.  No question is too silly, small or inconsequential. Parents often tend to focus their curiosities and questions only around their sweet baby, but know that these visits are about your baby and also just as much about you and your entire family as a whole. 

The third trimester visit may be virtual or in person, to allow for visual assessment of the home environment. All visits after baby is born can be virtual or – even more often – via telephone.  Perhaps unsurprisingly, telephone visits not only allow maximum flexibility during the intense and often unpredictable newborn period, but they can also allow for deeper, more honest and introspective conversations.  Having to get ready for a visitor or even being seen on video can be too much in the beginning, and – both practically and emotionally – telephone encounters allow our visits to unobtrusively and seamlessly incorporate into the new rhythms that unfold within the family.
