Postnatal Treatments
Postnatal Recovery & Restoration
(Home Visits)
A nurturing treatment to support recovery after birth and help restore balance in the 4th trimester
​​Home visit care, designed around you
​
All postnatal treatments are provided as home visits across Witham, Chelmsford, Maldon, Hatfield Peverel, Kelvedon and Tiptree. I’ll bring everything needed and set up in a space of your choice, so you can fully relax without the stress of travelling.
​
As a midwife specialising in complementary therapies, all treatments are adapted to your medical history, feeding choices and postnatal recovery stage.
The postnatal period is a time of profound physical and emotional change. This bespoke postnatal treatment is designed to support your body’s recovery after birth, offer deep rest for your muscles and mind, and give you space to be cared for without needing to leave home. Each session is carefully tailored to your stage of recovery, birth experience and individual needs on the day.
How this treatment can help
This restorative treatment may support you with:
​
Reducing stress, anxiety and emotional tension
Easing muscle aches, back, neck and shoulder tension
Supporting lactation and relieving breast engorgement (where appropriate)
Encouraging uterine recovery and reducing fluid retention or swelling
Improving sleep, digestion and overall wellbeing
Helping you reconnect with your body after pregnancy and birth
What your session may include
Your postnatal treatment may involve one or a combination of:
​
Postnatal massage
Aromatherapy (using pregnancy- and breastfeeding-safe oils where suitable)
Reflexology
Therapies can be combined for a more indulgent, deeply restorative experience, or focused more specifically depending on how you’re feeling.
Is this treatment right for you?
​​
This postnatal treatment may be especially helpful if you:
​
Are feeling physically tired, sore or tense after birth
Would benefit from emotional support and deep relaxation
Are adjusting to life with a newborn and need space to rest
Want professional, expert postnatal care in your own home
​
Your baby is very welcome during the appointment. Skin-to-skin contact is encouraged if you wish, supporting calm, bonding and relaxation for both of you.
Comfort & positioning
​
Your comfort and safety are always my priority.
Positioning for treatment will be carefully tailored
to you, taking into account your mode of birth,
stage of recovery and personal comfort.
​
Some mothers (particularly those recovering from a caesarean birth) prefer side-lying positions, while others are more comfortable seated or supported in alternative laying positions. We’ll decide together what feels best for your body on the day, and I’ll use plenty of pillows and supports to ensure you feel relaxed, safe and well cared for throughout.
​
As this is a home visit, I’ll set up in a space of your choice and bring everything needed, so you can fully rest and focus on your recovery.​​

Suitable timing
My postnatal treatments are suitable straight after birth through to the months that follow, provided there are no medical contraindications. If you’re unsure about timing, you’re always welcome to get in touch before booking.
