Paternity leave is usually only a couple of weeks at best, which leaves Mum and baby at home alone which can be very lonely and isolating. Having a resourced and supported Mama can really help with the transition into new Motherhood, which can often put a huge strain of a relationship/marriage in the first few months/years. For any parents doing it solo, I salute you! I know first hand how hard it is, so can totally understand how brutally isolating and relentless it can feel at times. I have been on the edge of burnout more times than I can remember, which could have been prevented by having more support. You cannot 'call in sick' and take a day off, or even a morning when you are a solo parent, so preventing burnout is absolutely necessary.

New Motherhood/Parenthood is such a precious and magical time, but let's be honest, it is an emotional rollercoaster. All the worry and lack of sleep that comes with parenting can be absolutely exhausting, let alone the hormones, and recovery from birth. Just knowing that you are going to have some help a few hours a week, can enable you to feel supported so you can enjoy those first few weeks as much as possible.

Whatever you family set up is, as a Mother's help I am happy to be flexible and adaptable in whatever your needs are on that particular day. I can do shopping, run errands, cook some nutritional meals/healthy snacks, clean the kitchen, or light housework. I can make you a cup of tea and be a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on. I can take care of older siblings, walk the dog, or hold the baby whilst you take a bath, or make a phone call. I can be a non-judgemental, calm and gentle presence, who you can speak to in confidence. I can also share some simple Reflexology techniques for you to support your baby with. This can be especially helpful for colic and teething. I can also offer you Reflexology whilst holding baby, or baby nearby. Not having to worry about the mundane tasks like shopping and cleaning can enable you to prioritise bonding with your beautiful baby.
