Postnatal Support
At Midwife For You, I understand that the postnatal period is a unique and significant time for every family. I am dedicated to providing a Postnatal Care and Support services that will be tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring you receive the personalised care you deserve.
Birth & Postpartum Reflection Session
Your birth and postpartum experience can stay with you long after those early weeks.
If parts of your experience didn’t sit right, felt overwhelming, or you’re still trying to make sense of it all — you’re not alone
There is no timeline on this. Whether you are weeks, months, or even years postpartum — if you feel the need to talk, that’s enough.
This is a gentle, supportive space to talk through your experience with a registered midwife. There is no pressure, no judgement — just time to be heard and supported.
In-person sessions take place in my private studio in Ballyhyland, Portlaoise
Phone sessions are available if you would prefer to talk from the comfort of your own home
1:1 private session
60 minutes
Baby welcome
If you have your hospital notes and would like to go through them together, you are very welcome to bring them along.
Sometimes having the opportunity to gently look back and understand what was happening can help bring clarity and reassurance.
If you don’t already have your notes and feel it would be helpful, you are welcome to request a copy of your maternity records from the hospital — but this is completely optional
This session is for emotional support and reflection from a midwifery perspective and does not replace medical or psychological care. Further supports can be discussed if needed.
You can book your session below or reach out if you’d like to chat first
