We focus so much on holding our babies that we forget the importance of holding our mothers, too.

So much thought and planning go into pregnancy and birth (and rightly so), but postpartum planning is just as important.

Postpartum is huge. The shift - physically, emotionally, mentally - is like nothing else.

Postpartum is a deeply vulnerable time. Your body is healing, your hormones are shifting, and you’re navigating a new reality. 

Unfortunately, many mothers today are navigating this critical time without the community support they need. A postpartum doula is there to hold, nourish, and support you.

Postpartum support isn’t just a “nice-to-have”; it’s essential. Transitioning to motherhood brings countless changes and challenges, from physical recovery to adjusting to a whole new human. A strong support system - a modern village - is the foundation of postpartum wellbeing (and you can’t postpartum yourself). From facilitating rest and enabling physical recovery, support can help ease challenges and provide reassurance, resources, and companionship during this time.

Nurture the Mama is a mother-centered postpartum care service that supports and nurtures mothers and their families in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, NSW. I look forward to connecting with you.
