The fourth trimester

Postnatal Support for a Confident Start 

As an endorsed registered midwife, I am able to provide postpartum care to support your physical and emotional recovery and wellbeing.

This applies in the first 6 weeks after the birth of your baby, and can supplement the care provided by your hospital carers, Midwifery and Maternal Child Health providers.

This may include:

 - perineal or caesarean wound care

 - blood pressure monitoring

 - pain management

 - mental health assessments

 - birth debriefing

Duration: 90 minutes

Fee:           Bulk billed within six weeks of birth if you hold a valid Medicare card.

These appointments can be booked antenatally in preparation for postpartum.

Why may I need extra support?

The early weeks after birth are a time of incredible change, and having the right support can make all the difference. Whether you’re navigating feeding, settling your baby, recovering from birth, or adjusting to life with a newborn, I provide personalised postnatal care to help you feel supported and confident.

Gentle Guidance & Reassurance: Parenthood comes with so many questions-

Is my baby feeding enough? Why won’t they settle? Is this normal? I offer evidence-based advice and practical strategies to help you understand your baby’s cues and build confidence in your parenting.

Newborn Sleep & Settling: While newborn sleep is unpredictable, small adjustments can help create a more settled experience for both you and your baby. I can help you navigate realistic sleep expectations, safe sleep practices, and gentle techniques to soothe your little one.

Birth Recovery & Emotional Wellbeing: Your recovery matters, too. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a caesarean, I provide support for physical healing, emotional adjustments, and self-care during this transformative time.

Feeding Support (Breast & Bottle): Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or doing a combination, I can guide you through positioning, supply concerns, expressing, or transitioning between feeding methods in a way that works for you and your baby.

The early days can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. 

Compassionate, professional postnatal care is available to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered as you settle into life with your baby.
