Functional Midwifery Care & Holistic Postpartum Care

Service Description

You deserve to feel seen, supported, and cared for as you grow your baby and become a mother. This comprehensive program combines attentive midwifery care, a functional medicine perspective, and holistic bodywork throughout pregnancy and the first nine months after birth. Together, we make space for your questions, listen to your changing needs, and create a personalized plan for your wellbeing. Comprehensive prenatal midwifery care Your care includes: • A thorough review of your health history and individual needs. • Regular monitoring of your wellbeing, blood pressure, and your baby’s growth, heartbeat, and position. • Routine prenatal labs, screening options, and ultrasound coordination. • Guidance on nutrition, movement, pregnancy discomforts, and emotional wellbeing. • Preparation for labor, birth preferences, infant feeding, and postpartum recovery. • Specialist consultation or referral when needed. A traditional schedule includes approximately 12–14 prenatal visits: every four weeks until 28 weeks, every two weeks until 36 weeks, and weekly until birth. The number and timing depend on when care begins, your needs, and when your baby arrives. A functional medicine perspective Your symptoms deserve attention and understanding. We explore how nutrition, sleep, stress, and your health history may influence how you feel. When clinically indicated, additional testing—such as iron status, thyroid function, or specific nutrient levels—helps guide personalized nutrition, lifestyle support, and appropriate treatment or referral. Holistic bodywork & birth preparation Feel more comfortable and connected to the body carrying your baby. Drawing on my training with the Institute for Birth Healing and as a Body Ready Method® Pro, dedicated body balancing sessions focus on easing tension, supporting pelvic mobility, and coordinating your breath, core, and pelvic floor. Through gentle bodywork and personalized movement, we support your changing body and help you feel more confident as you prepare for birth. This attentive care continues postpartum, nurturing comfort, reconnection, and recovery as you navigate motherhood. From pregnancy through postpartum, your wellbeing remains at the heart of every visit.
