Postpartum Support — Caring for You in the First Six Weeks
The weeks after birth are meant to be joyful — and they can be. But they can also be overwhelming, exhausting, and emotionally complex in ways nobody prepares you for. As a retired NHS midwife with 35 years of experience and a certified hypnotherapist, I understand the fourth trimester from both sides. I'm here to support you emotionally through those precious, tender, sometimes difficult first six weeks — so you can find your feet as a mother with confidence and calm.
