24 hours of personalised support during the first 12 weeks after birth, as your family finds its rhythm.
The first few months with a new baby can bring enormous change. As the initial excitement settles, many parents find themselves navigating a new reality of interrupted sleep, changing relationships, feeding, recovery and the everyday challenges of caring for a baby.
The Fourth Trimester package is designed to offer consistent support through this period of adjustment. Our work together begins before your baby arrives and includes a dedicated planning session to help you prepare for the early weeks. From there, I'll be alongside you throughout the fourth trimester as your family settles into life with your new baby.
Whether you're looking for reassurance, practical help around the house, someone to listen without judgement, or simply a familiar face who understands what life with a new baby can feel like, I'll be there to support you as your family's needs evolve.
My role isn't to rush you through this season. It's to walk alongside you, offering practical, emotional and evidence-based support as your confidence grows and your family finds its own rhythm.
