This allows time for reflection and discussion between sessions. I also offer private one day courses which are on a Saturday from 10am-4pm in your home, which some couples are happy to go ahead with when restrictions allow. The cost is €180 for either the online or in-home course and yearly membership of Cuidiu, worth €25, is included.

A peaceful and restorative postpartum doesn’t just happen happen for families. Planning for those first few weeks and months is just as important as planning for birth.
There is no manual for parenthood, we all have to find our own way by tuning into our instincts but that’s not to say we can’t prepare ourselves.
Our postnatal planning sessions are a wonderful way to connect into how you would like the early weeks to be after your baby is born, and how to achieve it. Making a plan can help you and your partner feel more prepared, more calm and more united.
We explore questions like:
who do you want to visit in the first few weeks? what can you do to help your body heal? how can you maximise your rest/sleep? who can give you non-judgemental support? who can you rely on to help at short notice? who is going to do the household jobs? what local supports can you pull from? how will you nourish yourself in the early weeks?
After the session we will send you a detailed outline of everything discussed and all plans made.
