Holistic support for Mamas during their own journey through Motherhood
Working as a Registered Midwife, I have been part of the childbearing journey for many women. I have supported women throughout their pregnancies, labours, births and postpartum.
As a Chinese Medicine Practitioner, I understand the importance of working in partnership with my clients to provide treatment and support for a range of health issues. I work holistically with each of my clients and apply evidence-based practice to their care.
This is why I created ‘The Mama’s Alchemist’, to be able to holistically support each woman throughout her own experience of motherhood. We all know no two women are the same.
I would love to chat with you more and learn how I can support you on this special journey.
Support throughout the childbearing continuum
Traditional Chinese Medicine Support
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used to support health for thousands of years. Chinese Medicine treatment may be able to help pregnant women with pregnancy related musculoskeletal pains, as well as nausea and vomiting. Ask me how acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be integrated into your conception, pregnancy and postpartum journey.
Birth & Postpartum Preparation
Feeling overwhelmed about labour, birth and what comes next? You’re not alone! I offer one-on-one sessions with you and your support person or team to chat about how we can best prepare you for your birth and postpartum. This can include, and is not limited to writing a Birth Wish List and discussing all of your options for your labour and birth care, as well as planning the right support and resources you will need for a nourishing postpartum experience.
Postpartum Support Package
The Fourth Trimester is a very special and sacred time for a woman and her family. I offer an in-home support service for women during their postpartum period, to make this transition as easy as possible. This includes supporting each Mama with care specific to her needs for the first four weeks, also commonly referred to as The Golden Month. This tailored service may include acupuncture support, Chinese herbal medicine, dietary therapy, as well as midwifery knowledge, guidance and support.
