Postpartum Care

At Sunfolk, I believe postpartum is not an afterthought — it’s a sacred threshold. It is the unraveling, the remembering, and the slow return to yourself.

Whether your birth was gentle or harrowing, planned or emergent, you are now in the space between: no longer pregnant, not yet stable. Still healing. Still shifting.

This care is for people who didn’t birth with me. It is for freebirthers, surgical birth mamas, NICU parents, first-timers, seasoned parents, and every postpartum body in between.

The truth is: You’ve likely been left behind.

Mainstream postpartum care often looks like this:

• Discharged from the hospital within 24–72 hours, regardless of how you feel

• A 1-week check if there were complications — often rushed, sometimes skipped

• A 6-week visit that asks about contraception, sexual activity, and not much else

That’s it. That’s the care most people get after birth.

But your body is still bleeding.
Your mind is still catching up.
Your hormones are shifting. Your milk is coming in.
You may be leaking, weeping, frozen, aching.
And no one is checking on you.

And if you birthed outside the system — by choice or necessity — you may feel unsure where to turn now.
You may want skilled eyes and a quiet presence without judgment.
You may want reassurance that what you did worked.
Or you may simply want someone to say, "You're safe. You're okay. Let's check together."

This is care for the space in between.

You deserve skilled, compassionate, and clinical care after birth — no matter how or where you delivered.

At Sunfolk, I offer postpartum-only midwifery care for low-risk clients through 12 weeks postpartum. You do not need to have birthed with me to receive this care.

This care is gentle, clear, and honest. It is not rushed. It does not judge. It does not assume anything about how you birthed — or how you’re coping.

What I offer

Each visit lasts 60–90 minutes and is shaped by what you need most that day — physical assessment, emotional support, or both.

Clinical Care (for you + your baby)

• Bleeding, uterine tone, perineal healing, incision checks (if applicable), vital signs, breast/chest health

• Newborn weight checks, jaundice screening, latch/feeding observation

• Early identification of complications or infection, with clear referral if needed

• Charting + documentation for your records

Emotional + Spiritual Care

• Integration of your birth story — whether celebratory, complex, or traumatic

• Support navigating grief, anxiety, identity shifts, and trauma

• Space for intuition, ancestral tools, and nervous system grounding

• Permission to not be “okay” yet

Practical Support

• Feeding guidance (bodyfeeding, pumping, formula-inclusive care)

• Sleep/rest planning and sustainable rhythms

• Resource connection: IBCLC, pelvic floor therapy, mental health, herbalists, and community care

This care is for you if...

• You had a freebirth and want respectful clinical follow-up

• You had a hospital birth and feel unseen, dismissed, or confused

• You’re bleeding more than expected or in pain — but unsure if it’s “normal”

• You’re experiencing feeding issues, sleep disruption, or birth trauma

• You want to be witnessed, not just monitored

• You want to be met with reverence — not rushed back into performance

Structure + Exchange

You are not asking for too much. This is the care you’ve always deserved.

Postpartum care is offered as single visits or in bundles. I serve clients in-home, in-office, or virtually. Each visit is 60–90 minutes.

• Single Visit – $250

• Three-Visit Bundle – $675 (often scheduled weeks 1, 2, and 4)

• Six-Visit Bundle – $1,200 (standard full arc of postpartum care)

• Ten-Visit Bundle - $1,800 (complete arc of postpartum care)

Additional visits available by request.
If complications arise outside my scope, I will offer immediate and compassionate referral.

This care is not extra — it’s essential.

You don’t have to explain why you didn’t get what you needed. You don’t have to justify wanting more.
You don’t have to be sure. You just have to know something inside you is asking for care.
