A perinatal doula and massage therapist, Sharon supports mum (and her partner) in pregnancy to prepare for both birth and in the postpartum.
Pregnancy - Sharon offers holistic treatments for you with both specialised massage, Optimal Maternal Positioning and other specialised techniques to assess and balance your body in preparation for birth. When you are balanced and in best position, your baby can settle into best position - the goal - a comfortable pregnancy and progressive birth minimising intervention.
She also offers workshops to prepare both yourself AND partner for birth AND beyond.
Postpartum support - equally as important, this care also involves specialised massage and rebalancing techniques for you body to help you repair and restore after your long pregnancy and birth.
She also offers a number of Mama Circles offering support and a chance to grow your village, and to learn all those things that are 'normal' (that no one ever speaks about) with informative topics in circles. Sharon runs 5 week Baby Massage Courses, again helping you grow your confidence and your tribe whilst connecting at an even deeper level with your bub as you learn to massage, and better learn their language.
For those parents suffering alongside their bub with colic (or colic symptoms without a label - excessive crying, discomfort, bloated belly, pain on pooing/passing wind), Sharon offers one on one consults or small group workshops to help you through this time, and teach you a very special tummy massage that can help your baby (and so you) find comfort and peace.
Sharon also offers in-home private care to support you in your early postpartum - an opportunity to experience some traditional care in a modern world and allow you to slow down, rest and repair as you get to know your baby and the new woman you are. Because yes, Matrescence is real, and you did not just make a baby. You made a new you. Let's help you get to know and embrace her.
Postpartum packages vary to suit varied needs. And if you cannot find something quite right for you, please ask and together we might be able to do just that.
