Mama & Baby: Postnatal Support

The fourth trimester — those tender weeks and months after birth — is a time of deep change, love, and vulnerability. It’s a period often centred entirely around baby, but it’s also a time when you, the mother, need just as much care, support, and gentle holding.

Let me nurture you while you do your most important work. I offer A Healing Fourth Trimester Support Sessions both before and after birth. Read on to learn more…

A HEALING 4TH TRIMESTER

SESSIONS IN LATE PREGNANCY

During late pregnancy, we can create a thoughtful, intentional, postnatal plan — because just like a birth plan, having one in place can make a world of difference. These sessions help you prepare emotionally and practically for the early postpartum period, and offer a space to think about how you’ll be cared for, too.

Something I recommend to all my clients is to grow your village. We’re not meant to walk this path alone — we’re designed to live within a nurturing, loving community of supportive, like-minded souls. You know like those friends who are always there to celebrate your achievements or commiserate with when things feel tough? When you find your village, everything about pregnancy and parenting becomes more grounded, more connected, and more easeful.

I run relaxed, friendly groups in the Huddersfield area for new, and more experienced, parents of little ones – a lovely way to meet others who are in the same boat. While you chat and connect, your baby can enjoy our cosy sensory space, or your toddler can explore, make new friends and play with our beautiful wooden toys.

I’m also a proud volunteer with Parent Sanctuary, who offer a brilliant sling library – including dedicated sessions for twin babies – as well as regular walks through the gorgeous green spaces of Kirklees.

POSTNATAL SESSIONS

Once your baby is earthside, my postnatal sessions offer you a calm, nourishing space — whether that’s in person (locally in West Yorkshire) or online via video platforms like Teams.

Sessions are 90–120 minutes long, allowing time for everything that may arise — feeding, nappy changes, cuddles, all the beautiful interruptions that come with life with a newborn.

As a mother of three myself (two of whom were born at home), I know how intense and transformative this time can be.

Baby Massage

Baby Massage Courses are a heartfelt way for parents and caregivers to connect with their little ones while learning nurturing techniques that support your baby’s development.

Whether in the comfort of your own home or in my cosy home studio, I offer private, bespoke sessions tailored to you and your baby.

These courses focus on gentle, calming massage techniques that can help with everything from easing colic and improving sleep to deepening the bond between you and your baby.

I also teach groups of friends or NCT buddies, a lovely way to continue connecting once your babies have arrived.

  • The massage course was wonderful! Really relaxing atmosphere for both mum and baby.

    There was no pressure on sticking to a routine, Rosaleen works around feeding and changing and is very patient, continuing to demonstrate moves to do at home if baby isn’t feeling it. I would definitely recommend Rosaleen, she’s also a great listener!
