As a second time mum, I felt okay with looking after a baby- what I learned from my first experience was that I needed to look after myself, too. That’s where Damaris stepped in. She not only made space for me to get a much-needed physical break but gently guided me to really prioritise rest (both mentally and physically)- a concept that was challenging for me to accept at first but something that will last well beyond the fourth trimester. What worked best for myself and my family was a weekly visit from Damaris. Her postnatal massages are a must and helped me avoid those aches and pains from pregnancy and hours spend nursing in awkward positions. She made sure I was comfortable, used beautiful essential oils, and I’d almost always fall asleep it was so relaxing. Her belly massage is the best! Damaris would also help with housework, meals, and the baby so I could get in some much-needed extra rest. Knowing that I had set aside this time for me every week was so, SO good, and helped me get through the tougher days. I now firmly prioritise rest, knowing that it is not just for me but my family too. Every new mum needs Damaris!
