What is Thera-Postpartum Care?
Thera-Postpartum Care services are tailored to help the new parent rest as much as possible so that they can recover from the birth in a timely fashion. The Care Specialist’s priority of care is directed towards the birthing parent; however, the Family as a whole is taken into consideration. While the Care Specialist is very knowledgeable about newborn care, the scope of her role is not to take over the care of the newborn, as this would interfere with the birthing parent and the baby getting to know each other and bond. A Care Specialist provides loving support so that the new birthing parent feels rested, well-nourished, and with their household in good order so they can focus their energies on their new baby.
What We Do Not Do?
We Do Not:
- Perform clinical tasks, such as blood pressure taking, newborn heart checks, incision/personal exams, or the like. We are there to provide only physical comfort, emotional support, and advocacy.
- Make decisions for yourself. We will help you get the information necessary to make informed decisions.
- Speak to other care providers on your behalf regarding matters where decisions are being made. We will discuss your concerns with you and suggest options, but you and your partner will speak directly to the clinical staff or your care provider.
What package or how many hours of service will I need?
We can work together to come up with a package suited to you and your family. If you are unsure of what support you may need especially if this is your first baby, contact me so that we can have a free consultation and discuss what your needs may entail. Explore my website and if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me.
