Postpartum Support
Postpartum is one of the most spectacular and sacred times of a woman’s life and yet it can also be isolating and overwhelming.
Today it is hard to find respectful empowering information and caring support during this extremely vulnerable period. And every woman has a right to be heard and met with the greatest care and respect no matter whether physical, emotional, hormonal or spiritual.
Postpartum is one of the most important events of any humans life, yet it has been forgotten by mainstream western society. This is the time we build our strength, capacity and trust in ourselves for the parenting journey ahead, as well as laying the foundation for our longterm physical health.
Looking back through every traditional culture we see that the first 40 days are not only honoured but given careful attention. Each culture having its own special repetoire of nutrition, teas, belly binding, massage, yoni steaming and various other nourishing ceremonial events.
Today we now have access to a wonderful combination of modern and traditional support tools for this truly special period of ones life.
Sadly the common narrative around parenting babies doesn’t come from evidence-based research, and certainly doesn’t serve mothers. Even information from the medical world. Professionals and friends are often quick to prescribe sleep training, controlled feeding and formula instead of supporting mothers to find empowering tools that work best for them and their baby.
These sessions are focused on mother/baby centered care and biologically aligned principles. In other words following the needs of mother and baby as close to nature as possible.
“I didn’t plan on becoming a prenatal and postnatal coach, I simply fell in love with supporting mothers.”
Kheyrne Danu
It takes a village to hold a mother during this time and so often we expect our partners to be the whole village. In this work we look at how to bring in the support that you really need. We will work out the right kind of support for you as an individual and also find the right kind of professional support that suits you and your baby best when needed.

DISCLAIMER
Kheyrne Danu is not a medical doctor. This support is not intended as a substitute for medical advice, nor to treat, diagnose or cure any medical condition.
When I found out I was pregnant, my first thought was to contact Kheyrne. There was no one better to answer my questions around pregnancy (from fears, to scans, to homebirth, postpartum..)I would not have made the choices I made and have the homebirth I had if it wasn’t for Kheyrne’s incredible knowledge. I am forever grateful for what she taught my partner and I. I felt so empowered going into labour.
Kheyrne has been my go to resource and all round best human since the start of my pregnancy journey. She is patient, kind, and always has the time and energy to ease me through my concerns and offer help. She is my go to resource for all things pregnancy and baby related. As a first time mom, I am continuously grateful for her support and guidance. Her passion for what she does is backed up by years of research and first hand knowledge
I read those words somewhere whilst pregnant and they stayed with me. They were so very true for me, Kheyrne came into my life when I most needed her after the birth of our first baby. I was feeling isolated being far away from my family struggling with anxiety and a whole host of confusing, overwhelming emotions. Kheyrne swept in with calm assurance, I wasn’t crazy, I wasn’t alone, I wasn’t a bad mother… She nurtured me from afar and guided me back to my sense of self. My new, Self. It’s hard to explain but her wisdom is ancient, primal, you’re almost gently reminded…. This was my experience; every conversation lit up within me, memories, understanding and a lingering curiosity. I cannot express enough how much her support and guidance has meant to me, I feel supported and connected. Thank you kheyrne for being a safe place.
