Matrescence by Design is made up of one Melbourne based mama, Claudia, who found a passion for postpartum care during her own journey into matrescence.
Using the time we have together, we can plan your postpartum to ensure you feel nourished, cared for, pampered, rested and like the queen you are. I am passionate about meeting mamas where they are at; any time on any given day and moving forward with compassion and support.
I am able to provide you with the following service ‘menu’, it is up to you to choose what you want out of our time together. Nothing is off limits, nothing is too much to ask. I am here to support you when you need it.
Prenatal Planning : Let’s have a catch up and discuss what you would like your postpartum journey to look like. We can use this time to make up a plan of attack for those early newborn mama days.
Postpartum Support:
Light housework, e.g. popping the laundry on, folding the never ending pile of clothes, wiping surfaces and making sure the rooms are tidy and calm.
Basic meal prep for you and the family: Using what you have on hand, I am able to create some warm and nourishing meals + snacks for you and the family.
Calming touch massage: Using baby + mama safe oils, I am able to calm down your nervous system and encourage you to rest. I am also happy to show you the nicest ways to help your baby when a sense of calm is needed.
Hydrating Hair Treatment and style: For many years I was a full time hairdresser and pampering women is one of my favourite things to do. Relax and let me style your hair in a way that makes the long nights seem bearable… I promise you will not regret it!
Home organisation and life admin: I am able to help with booking appointments, whipping up an online grocery order or anything else that is on your to do list (but feels too hard).
Belly binding: Using physio grade support, belly binding is like a warm hug to help you feel secure and supported from ribs to hips (safe post c section and in no way cosmetic).
Sibling and infant care: I spent many years nannying + hold my diploma of early childcare education, making me extremely passionate about children and their development. If you want some one on one time with your first love, I am happy to take care of the baby and vice versa.
Baby wearing: I am a huge advocate for baby wearing, helping them rest whilst on the move. I am happy to wear your baby or assist you in learning how to wear your baby safely and confidently.
Village building : We all know it takes a village to raise a baby, let me help you find yours ensuring you feel supported in all areas of your life.
Sessions available
Meet + Greet: One half hour session in your home or closeby to discuss your postpartum plans and to gauge if we are the right fit for each other.
Got your back : A once off 3 hour in home visit to help you find your feet. We can tick off some of the jobs you’ve been needing done or we can spend the time together pampering you. It’s totally up to you!
Evening support visit, designed to allow you to relax and reconnect. This might look like you enjoying a meal prepared by me whilst I assist any other siblings with the end of day routine; it might see you resting whilst I assist in soothing the babe and resetting the home, setting you up for a seamless night. For three hours, whatever you need I can help with.
Five x the love: Five sessions of three hour in home visits to help you feel nourished and ready to take on the world. It is said that the first forty days set you up for the next forty years!! Let me help you make those wonderful!!
These services are best received within 10 weeks, so we can really focus on your healing, learning & matrescence journey. Each session is carefully designed to meet you where you are at, whatever your heart desires. Included in this service is a luxury mama care bag and a 1 hour complimentary pre/postpartum planning session.
