IN-HOME POSTPARTUM CARE

rooted in cross-culturual postpartum care wisdom, the physiological design of women, & the 5 essentials of Postpartum Care - Rest, Warmth, Body Care, Nourishment, & Community Support

Postpartum Care isn’t just for the fourth trimester or the first 40 days after having a baby. Studies are now showing that it can take 2-7 years for your body to heal, recover and replenish from each pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I believe it’s every woman’s birthright to be cared for and supported throughout her entire Motherhood journey, not just in the early postpartum time.

Unfortunately, most mothers in our modern, Western world (of current and past generations) weren’t supported or tended to in the early postpartum (and beyond), and the results of that have led to intergenerational depletion, an increase in chronic/autoimmune diseases for women and mothers, perinatal mental health disorders at an all-time high, burnout, loneliness/isolation, and more.

 

The current reality and depletion many mothers face is rooted in dis-connection - from the sacred role of mother, our relationship to food, a lack of community support, and connection to innate wisdom of what is required for wellness.

It can look grim at times, but it is through facing what is that we can create a new way forward. Just because it’s been this way for others, and may be your story, too, repair and writing a new story (for you and future generations to come) is always possible. I’ve seen it and experienced it first hand - within myself and the countless mothers I’ve supported 3 days to 30+ years postpartum.

My Mission:

To inspire change in the ways we nourish, care for, and support women & mothers.

Although I’m speaking through the lens of supporting the early postpartum time, the 5 Essentials of Postpartum Care are also applicable following pregnancy loss, recovery from injury or illness, in support of the menstrual cycle, and so much more.

This is why I’ve written:

THE NOURISHED FOURTH TRIMESTER CARE PACKAGE

MY SIGNATURE IN-HOME POSTPARTUM CARE offering - supporting calgary, ab & surrounding areas

The Fourth Trimester refers to the 3 months following birth. It’s a significant window that lays the foundation for health and wellbeing, both for mother and baby.

Following birth, whether intervention-free, cesarean, or anything in between, significant recovery time is required. In cross-cultural postpartum care traditions from around the world, Community Support (from family, friends, and trained care providers) was understood to be foundational for the longterm wellbeing of new mothers.

 

Unfortunately, in our modern Western world, these traditions have been lost and Community Support, let alone understanding of the other 4 Essentials of Postpartum Care, are severely lacking in our societal awareness (including most primary care providers’ education) of how to truly support and center the needs of postpartum mothers.

Most women are left with little to no support for the physical recovery, emotional adjustments, and nutritional needs required to support postpartum recovery, breastfeeding demands, bonding with baby, and her own internal adjustments to motherhood (especially after 2 weeks postpartum when partners typically return to work and the excitement from community of a new baby wears off).

This is why I have created the Nourished Fourth Trimester Care Package.

With a passion for crafting delicious, nutrient-dense food (specifically curated to deeply nourish postpartum mothers), a background in holistic wellness, and a gift for space holding, I come to you (weekly or bi-weekly), to provide intentional care centering YOUR needs. Supporting mothers during this transformational time is truly an honor.

Whether you’re planning for your first or your fifth postpartum journey, The Nourished Fourth Trimester Care Package is an investment centering YOU, because you truly are the center of your family.

If you are well nourished and cared for, and you feel seen and supported through the highs and lows of the Fourth Trimester and beyond, this investment in you is ultimately an investment in the wellbeing of your whole family.

What Mothers are saying…

  • “Not only in flavor but richness of love and intention. You truly truly have a gift, and I’m so grateful to have experienced your cooking. Everything helps so much, and everything you made is toddler approved! Just knowing I have delicious food that I know is supporting my healing ready and prepared is a godsend. Thank you so much!” - Katelyn H.

  • “You make simple, accessible, and constructive suggestions to ease the hard things in this season. I’ve realized that despite being as exhausted as I am, my body feels just a wee bit better than it has at any point since my (fifth) baby was born, and I really do think the “small” additions to my routine have been hugely helpful. Thank you!” - Amara B.

  • “Soft, open, relaxed, gentle, deeply caring, and knowledgeable. We talked through all the things. It was inspiring, energizing, deeply validating, celebratory, and more. There aren’t enough words for just how powerful this experience is for me, my family, and my children.” - Emily M.

 The Gift of Postpartum Care

Postpartum Care is Mother-Centered Care

Postpartum Care is one of the most valuable gifts a Mother can receive, because the health and wellness of a Mother dictates the health and wellness of her family. 

This impacts the health and wellness of her community, with the ripple effect flowing to the collective.

Postpartum Care is intended to support long-term health and wellness, not just the immediate or more obvious early Postpartum time. It’s a way to center yourself in Motherhood, to support your nervous system, your body, and to repair intergenerational depletion so your children can live a fulfilling and thriving life.

 

Receiving this care is also a healing practice for all the women in your lineage who never received Postpartum Care, while laying the foundation for a different future where mother-centered care is normalized and available for your daughters and the next generations to come.

If you desire this support, consider asking for donations to a Postpartum Care Fund from loved ones in lieu of baby gifts like onesies or toys. 

This gift to you is ultimately a gift to your baby, and future generations to come.

It’s the gift of Community Support that you can pass on to other people in your community. Postpartum Care is Community Care. The world changes and heals with every woman who is honored and supported in her Postpartum and Mothering journey.

Gift Certificates for any of my Postpartum Care Packages and any dollar amount are available!

What Mothers Are Saying After Receiving Postpartum Care

Here’s an exerpt from a guest testimonial blog written by luan woods called “my experience of pregnancy, birth, & postpartum care”

Imagine someone who is there to provide a safe, comforting space for connection and all you’re moving through, who really SEES you and who is there for YOU.

Imagine someone to hold the baby to give your sore neck, back and arms a break, who also comes with a backpack of supportive, healing modalities and years of experience teaching yoga. Imagine having another set of hands to take baby when they just won't settle, when you’re exhausted and falling asleep on your feet.

Imagine having someone come into your home to cook you warm, nourishing, nutrient dense food.

I received all of this from Brittany and so much more during my immediate Postpartum and throughout the first year. It was the most wonderful experience I ever could have hoped for. I feel so grateful and privileged to have had that kind of support available to me and my husband. Now, whenever I see a birth announcement I want to shout it from the rooftops to plan this for postpartum.

I can confidently say you won’t EVER regret receiving Postpartum Care from Brittany, any care from her really.

Once I left her class I was so much more inspired and motivated to keep on learning and keep making a difference for other moms as well. Brittany and her offerings came into my life at the perfect time.
