Post-Natal Health

As new parents, you may find that at times it can be overwhelming. Stress reduction, and help in adjusting to a very different routine and way of life are extremely important at this time, and Michaela will help to guide you (and your partner) through this process in a way that is kind and considerate, and puts your needs first.

Issues such as postnatal hot flushes, constipation and difficulties with lactation are common during this phase. A post-natal treatment with Michaela may involve acupuncture, herbal medicine and in some cases cupping. If herbal medicine is required, careful consideration is always given to new mothers who are breastfeeding their new babies, so harmful medicinals are not passed on to the baby.

The Golden Month

Michaela is an educator for Radiant Birth, an extensive 4 part pregnancy workshop, where she discusses the postnatal period with expecting mothers, also known fondly as ‘The Golden Month’. This ‘Golden Month’ is a period of 4 to 6 weeks postpartum, where the Mother is nourished, rests, stays warm and is supported by those around her. This gentle beginning to life as a Mother allows her to recover from pregnancy and birth, and to have the strength and vibrancy to nourish her baby. More information on the Radiant Birth workshops can be found here.
