Postpartum Planning Essentials

A transformative on-demand course that gives new and
expecting parents a comprehensive postnatal care plan.

Why Do I Need a Postpartum Plan?

Many couples spend more time researching their next car, than preparing for parenthood.

Postpartum planning is often overlooked, with the assumption that they’ll just “work it out” when the time comes.

But postpartum mood disorders, birth trauma, exhaustion, and relationship strain are common—and often preventable with the right support.

Factors like older maternal age, sleep deprivation, unrealistic social expectations, and a lack of structural support amplify these challenges.

This online course offers a practical roadmap through this unpredictable terrain.

If Mother's aren't good, then no one is good.

The welfare of Mother's is crucial for the wellbeing of families.
Postpartum planing is fundamental to this.

This Postpartum Planning Essentials online course bridges the care gap, helping parents prepare—emotionally, physically, and relationally—so they’re not forced to figure it out in the thick of it.

This course is unique.

We centre the Mother and the relationship in our care plan
We speak directly to both partners
We address the real relational changes that happen after a baby
We guide the shift from romantic love to mature partnership
We bring clinical, emotional, and practical insight into what true postpartum care looks like

It’s crucial that you think about this time as an opportunity to lay the foundation of health—not just for yourself, but for your relationship.
