• Holistic postpartum assessment

• Priority booking

• Follow-up email with action plan

Is your postpartum season feeling very different from what you expected? You may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, exhausted, uncertain or simply in need of someone to help you make sense of what is happening.

In this one-to-one support session, we explore your family's current experience, identify areas where extra support may be needed and create a practical, compassionate plan for moving forward. Where appropriate, I can also connect you with other services and specialist support.

My approach

My work is rooted in a Waldorf and anthroposophical understanding of early life, honouring the spiritual significance of this threshold, the importance of rhythm, sensory calm, and the deep connection between parent and baby.

This is not just practical support, but a way of caring that holds the whole family in a thoughtful and respectful way.

Please get in touch with me via “enquires” at the top of the page before booking.

These 1-hour sessions with me are a gentle, grounded space to help you find clarity, confidence, and calm in your parenting journey. Together, we explore your family’s unique needs and create practical ways to honour both your child’s development and your wellbeing as a parent. I apply anthroposopic principles to my consultation practice.

I don’t offer medical advice, diagnosis, or tell families what they should do. My role is to offer support, share information and perspectives, make gentle suggestions, and signpost families towards professional healthcare providers where needed.

Please fill out an enquiry form and book when we have scheduled the session.

A 2-hour in-person postpartum session with me, Anna. Held in your home and tailored to you and your family’s needs in the moment.

Whether you are looking for a non-judgemental space to debrief your experiences, support in building confidence in caring for your baby, or simply someone to tend to the home while you are tucked up resting and falling in love with your baby, our time together will meet you where you are.

During our sessions, I may support you with:

• Creating a sense of rhythm in your days

• Protecting and prioritising rest

• Gentle newborn care and guidance

• Emotional holding and listening

• Simple, nourishing postpartum care practices

• Light household support, such as preparing food or tending to the washing

• Signposting/informational support 

• Debriefing your birth  

Each visit is guided by your needs, with a focus on bringing ease, warmth, and steadiness into your home.

My intention is that you leave our time together feeling deeply seen, held, and supported.

The weeks and months (and even years) after birth are a time of deep transition.
A time to be held, to rest, and to slowly find your rhythm as a new family.

My role is to gently support this process, offering calm, nourishing care that centres both your wellbeing and your baby’s.
