In-Home Postpartum Care

Honouring Your Body, Mind, and Journey

Welcoming new life into the world is a profound, life-changing journey, and your body has been right there with you—carrying, birthing, nourishing, and holding. It has stretched, shifted, and ached in ways you never could have imagined. This incredible process deserves to be honoured with care, space, and tenderness.

Postpartum massage is here to support you, not to fix you. It’s about easing the tension in your shoulders from those endless feeds, soothing the tired muscles from holding and rocking, and giving you a moment to reconnect with your body and yourself. This time is all about care—restoring, nurturing, and allowing your body to feel like itself again.

Your body is incredible. Let’s honour it with the care it deserves.

What Postpartum Massage Can Do for You

  • Ease shoulder, neck, and back pain from feeding and holding

  • Relieve postural discomfort that can linger after birth

  • Help with deep fatigue and exhaustion

  • Provide support for anyone in the postpartum period (which can extend up to two years after birth)

Postpartum massage isn’t just a treatment; it’s a space for you to breathe, relax, and let go. It’s for you—whether you're deep in the early weeks of recovery or navigating the shifts in the months that follow.

And if your baby needs to be with you during the session? No problem at all. They’re more than welcome to join.

In-Home & In-Clinic Options

I understand that sometimes, leaving the house with a newborn can feel like too much. That’s why I offer in-home postpartum massages on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I come to you, providing the same nurturing care as in the clinic, but in the comfort of your own space.

In-Home Sessions: Available Tuesdays and Thursdays
In-Clinic Sessions: Monday and Saturday in Kyneton, Wednesdays in Gisborne

Timing & Safety Considerations

Each birth is unique, and your body knows when it's ready for care. Here’s a quick guide for when to start your postpartum massage:

  • Vaginal Birth: You can begin postpartum massage as soon as you feel ready, often within the first few days after delivery. Your body will tell you when it’s the right time, but always check in with your healthcare provider to ensure it's right for you.

  • Caesarean Birth: If you've had a caesarean, it's generally best to wait until your incision has healed, and you’ve received clearance from your doctor—usually around 6 weeks after delivery. It’s essential to listen to both your body and your doctor’s advice.

 FAQs

  • Postpartum massage is generally safe once you feel ready. For those with a vaginal birth, massage can be beneficial within the first few weeks. If you’ve had a C-section, you’ll need to wait at least 6 weeks and receive doctor clearance before lying on your stomach. That said, I offer side-lying or seated options, so you can still enjoy a restorative massage during this time.

  • Yes, postpartum massage is specifically tailored to address the unique physical and emotional needs that arise after childbirth. It focuses on relieving muscle tension, aiding recovery, and providing a supportive, calming environment for your mind and body.

  • While many refer to the first six weeks after birth as the "fourth trimester," the postpartum period can extend up to two years. As you adjust to your new life and embrace the journey of parenthood, I offer ongoing support to help you navigate the physical and emotional challenges you might experience during this time.

  • I completely understand that babies can be unpredictable. If your baby is unsettled when I arrive, I’ll set up the massage space and assist with any small tasks, such as folding laundry or tidying up, until you feel ready for your massage. You won’t feel rushed, and I’ll make sure we create a peaceful environment at your pace.

  • Absolutely! To accommodate your needs and your baby’s schedule, I block off a two-hour window for each postpartum massage session. This way, we have the flexibility to adjust as needed and ensure you get the full benefit of your session, whether that means a longer massage or simply a bit more time to get comfortable

  • Absolutely! If you prefer to come in-clinic for your postpartum massage, you are more than welcome to do so. I completely understand that leaving the house with a baby can feel like a big step, but rest assured, both you and your baby are always welcome.

    My clinic is located at 29 High Street, Kyneton, and we have a bathroom with a nappy change bench and a bed for you to use, making things a little easier for you during your visit. Your little one is also welcome to sit and rest in the waiting room or our peaceful private courtyard, giving you a moment to relax while knowing they are nearby.

    You can easily book your in-clinic session online by going to the Main Menu and clicking on In-Clinic. This will take you directly to the booking page where you can choose a time that works best for you.

    If you have any specific needs or questions about your visit, feel free to reach out, and I’ll be happy to help ensure both you and your baby feel comfortable throughout your time here.
