POSTPARTUM MAPPING SESSIONS

---

Plans can be a beautiful way to visualise the postpartum of your dreams. But they only scratch the surface:

• They don’t invite the broader, deeper exploration needed to be confident and responsive when things change. 
• They are narrow, rigid, and unforgiving. 
• When things don’t go to plan, many parents are left feeling lost, stuck, or worse, like they’ve somehow failed.

That’s why I offer mapping instead.

Mapping:

• Doesn’t script a fixed path or box you in. 
• Is responsive and expansive. 
• Guides you through a landscape of possibilities: the turns, the detours, the “what ifs,” so you are ready to make aligned choices at any fork in the road. 

Because it’s not about controlling the journey. It’s about having the knowledge, support, and confidence to navigate it, no matter how it unfolds. 

The Positive Birth Program lays the groundwork for your birth, while our Postpartum Mapping Session focuses on the often-overlooked postpartum experience, tailoring support specifically to your journey.

Here, we have the space to focus entirely on your family and your unique postpartum journey. 

Plus you’ll receive:

• 2-hour* private zoom or in person** session tailored to your needs.
• Pre-session questionnaire to ensure we go straight to what matters most. 
• Personalised Ebook including recap of the postpartum principles, journal prompts for deeper reflection, completed mapping template and curated resource list.
• Ongoing message and email access for questions following the session.

*can be 2x 1 hour sessions

**Blue Mountains only

This offering is for any family:

• wanting to have a nourishing, supportive postpartum but not sure where to start
• unsure what support they’ll actually need, or feeling like they didn’t know what they needed last time
• reflecting on a previous postpartum and wanting to approach it differently this time
• wanting to do what they can to create the positive experience they deserve

I’ve worked with families in their first postpartum and in their fourth.

Every family deserves this kind of support and the truly nourishing and supportive postpartum that follows.

I get it (truly). Investing in postpartum support can feel big, especially when you're already investing in prams, car seats, bassinets etc for the baby. And since this kind of support isn’t yet the norm, it’s normal to pause before saying yes.

A few things to consider as you decide whether this stretch is possible:

• Tailored payment plans are always available.
• This is currently the most affordable way to work with me.
• Investing in postpartum support doesn’t just carry you through that pivotal season, it continues to nurture your whole family’s well-being for years to come. 

Prams and baby gear eventually get packed away. But the value of birth and postpartum support lasts- impacting your baby and your family for life.

If this feels aligned but financially tight, please reach out + we can explore solutions together.

That’s exactly why these sessions are designed to be flexible and time-saving:

• Online and accessible from anywhere
• Choose between one 2-hour session or two 1-hour sessions
• Pre-mapping questionnaire, Ebook with curated resource list and ongoing support to streamline the process

Postpartum Mapping isn’t about adding more information to your plate; it’s about simplifying it. It’s not about adding pressure; it’s about easing it. 

Together, we explore principles of a supportive postpartum and focus on what truly matters to you, so you can feel more grounded and confident instead of overloaded and stressed,

Absolutely.

These sessions are designed to help you integrate the postpartum principles and deepen your support, whether or not you’re utilising doula care.

You can access them as part of a postpartum care package or as a standalone session, whichever works best for you.

If you’re curious about doula care, the mapping session can show you exactly how my services can enhance your postpartum experience. From there, you can choose to upgrade to a care package if it feels right, or continue receiving guidance through ongoing email and text support for any questions.

Your experience matters too. You deserve care that’s just as intentional as the care you’ll give your baby.

Plus, your wellbeing and your baby’s wellbeing are deeply connected. Meeting your needs is meeting theirs.

During the fourth trimester, babies have sensitive, developing nervous systems and rely on their caregivers for co-regulation ie learning how to feel safe, soothed, and secure in the world. In the same way, a caregiver’s stress and responsiveness shape a baby’s lifelong stress patterns and attachment.

This is just one example of how closely intertwined your needs are with your baby’s. 

When a mother is nourished and supported, her baby thrives, and so does the whole family for that matter.

The benefits of a supported postpartum are so expansive.

Benefits to the whole family unit, now and into their future, reaching so many layers of their individual and collective wellbeing. 

To give a few examples:

• For Mum: Supports perineal or caesarean recovery, pelvic floor healing, emotional wellbeing, and long-term vitality while reducing risks of depression, anxiety, and depletion - laying the foundation for her health for the next 40 years.
• For Dad/Partner: Improves mental health, confidence, and bonding, and strengthens communication and teamwork for family life ahead.
• For Baby: Supports secure attachment, co-regulation, breastfeeding, and healthy nervous system, brain, and immune development - shaping wellbeing for life.
• For Sibling/s: Promotes emotional security, inclusion, and stability, easing adjustment and strengthening lifelong family bonds.

And because each family member’s experience is so deeply connected, every benefit to one strengthens them all. A supported parent, for example, is better resourced to co-regulate, be present with, and emotionally available for their kids - showing how support for their emotional wellbeing flows throughout the whole family unit.

For many of us, our mothers and grandmothers didn’t have this kind of support. They survived, but they didn’t necessarily thrive. They did what they could with what they had.

But that doesn’t mean it has to be the same for us. Prioritising rest, recovery, and support isn’t self-indulgent. It’s:

• healing generational patterns of burnout and martyrdom.
• caring for your physical and mental health in a way that will support you for decades to come.
• supporting your whole family’s wellbeing. 

And it’s setting a new standard for the next generation: We don’t “bounce back”, we move forward - supported, nourished and stronger for it.

Let's talk it through. Contact me here and I'll set a time for a 15-20 minute phone or video call. Or we can email if you'd prefer.
