Cheryl offers bespoke treatments for postnatal women who may wish to take advantage of her wealth of wisdom as an ex-midwife and women's health specialist. She now has over 25 years experience of working with women!
A large proportion of clinics consist of women who are pregnant or in the postnatal phase, as well as those trying to increase the chances of conceiving naturally or improve the success of assisted fertility treatments. For those women who have menstrual cycle or menopause issues, then womb wisdom is all part of the service offered.
The appointment
In the New Mummy appointment, anytime from 3 to 6 weeks onwards post delivery, women often find they can find some valuable breathing space to process the birth and allow some nurturing and TLC at a time when they are often coming down from the emotional high of welcoming their newborn and dealing with the daily grind of giving 24 hour care to a vulnerable baby. Women sometimes arrive exhausted and frazzled but usually leave smiling, feeling replenished and uplifted. Often it's the first bit of time out for themselves they have had since the birth.
A quick assessment of your back, pelvis and your neck and shoulders reveals how your body has faired after the rigors of pregnancy and birth followed by the weeks of carrying and feeding a newborn. We can address these imbalances through hands on treatment and interweave it with some soothing oil massage, foot reflexology and relaxation. Sometimes we finish off with some acupuncture, depending on your needs and preferences.
Your partner, friends or family can buy you a New Mummy MOT VOUCHER to enjoy after the birth. It is a popular gift from work colleagues as the maternity leave present. Some women book in a course of treatment to help them through this often challenging time.
If there is nobody to care for the baby during these treatments then women often bring the baby in a carry chair and it is amazing how many of them seem to miraculously sleep through the session as mummy relaxes and floats into the blissful tranquility of this nourishing treatment session.
You can book this as a full hour or a 45 minute appointment option.
