Golden Hour
Allowing you to be uninterrupted with your baby for the first hour after birth. That bonding time is incredibly valuable.
Service Three
Postpartum
Postpartum care with midwives is a treat. These visits will be provided in your home for the fist several weeks. We keep a caring eye on breastfeeding, weight gain, the transition form pregnancy to postpartum and baby in arms. The first three months are often called the fourth trimester. It is a time for healing and creating space for the new baby and all the changes that come with having a new human being as part of the family life.
Whether this is your first baby or your fifth baby each time we are blessed with a new member of the family, change is afoot and we must pivot to create the space needed in the family dynamic. Postpartum care is much more than simply weighing the baby and checking the mothers healing process. We will work with you to meet all the challenges and joys of this transformational time
Stay At Home
Well say it again - nothing beats the comfort of your own home. Time to rest is important after the birth.
Well Checks
A midwife or care provider will come and check in with you and the baby 3-5 times after the birth for the first 6 weeks of life.
Honoring 4th Trimester
Most other cultures have a 40 day time of rest and recuperation. This is something we value and want you to reap the benefits of.

An Aside
I have seen so many parents over the years struggle with boundary setting and discipline and one of the tools I have come to use is a simple explanation of the word and the historical meaning of discipline. The root word of discipline is “disciple, “which is derived from the Latin word for student which is discipulus. In a way our children are our students, and we are there to guide and teach them along the way to adulthood. To discipline is to be a good teacher and healthy adult figure in the lives of our children.
As parents navigate their way through the challenges of educating their children both in the home and within the school system of their choosing I often remind parents that the child needs to be happy, healthy and safe first. Once a child is happy, healthy and safe, then the child can take up learning. Without the first three it would be difficult for a child to learn. Therefor, happy, healthy, safe, and then learning!
