Give the Golden Gift and 'Mother the Mother' after birth with Joanna Anderson Doula Services.

3 x 2hour sessions.  Edinburgh only

Specialist massage therapy for the newly postnatal mum can completely transform the fourth trimester experience by offering much needed support to a Mother.  

‘The Golden Gift’ is a postnatal massage therapy package inspired by ‘The Golden Month’, a name used in Chinese culture for the first 4-6 weeks after childbirth. In many cultures over the world there is still a celebrated and supported postpartum rest period where for the first few weeks following childbirth the mother is cared for so that she can heal, recover and bond with her new baby. Massage is one of the most effective ways of doing this.

Joanna is a highly qualified massage therapist with almost 20 years experience.  She specialises in abdominal and scar massage which is a unique skill set particularly useful for the new mum.  Following a detailed consultation she will work with the new mum to tailor make treatments that will support her mind and body with healing.  

Joanna is offering postnatal visits within the first 6-12 weeks post birth, and will take the time to deeply understand the new Mother, and what she needs from her treatment sessions.  As a guide, the visits will include:

• A detailed health consultation to help design a completely tailor made therapeutic treatment for each session
• Nutritional support advice on how to recover and heal
• Offerings of traditional postnatal support care as required
• Scar care and support
• A Closing Ceremony within the 6 visit package
• Love, compassion and a listening ear

Nothing will be fixed; it will be completely about the Mother and what she needs from the visits. 

We’ve never done it alone, we shouldn’t be doing it alone.
