Pregnancy & Postpartum
We offer personalized, insightful advice and consistent pregnancy and postpartum support. Holistic pregnancy care throughout the entire pregnancy increase your chances of a healthy full-term pregnancy, a straightforward labor, a rapid recovery, decreased risk for postpartum depression, successful breastfeeding – and of course, a bright, healthy, beautiful baby! Postpartum holistic care may include C-section Recovery and Parenting Support as well as help with Perineal Tears, and Postpartum Depression.
As ND-Midwifery consultants, we enjoy supporting women during pregnancy alongside their birth care provider. Clients who become pregnant while working in the practice are welcome to stay.
You will be guided through the four trimesters with expertise including how nutrition, self-care, mind/body wellness, exercise, supplementation and sleep can positively impact the health of your pregnancy and postpartum (the ‘4th trimester’).
Tools
Botanical Medicine & Supplements
Plants have been used as medicine since antiquity. Many pharmaceuticals attempt to imitate plant actions in a chemically altered (therefore patentable) form.
Environmental Medicine & Detoxification
Our health and that of our children depends on the health of the environment. Environmental medicine examines the relationship between the environment and human health, and the role of the environment in causing or mediating disease.
Nutrition & Gut Health
One of the simplest (and most delicious) steps we can take towards living healthier lives is by enjoying clean, organic, seasonal, local food with those we love.
Movement
In today’s society, we tend to eat more and move less. Dr. Naumes encourages all clients to play – hike? walk? dance? – outside in the fresh air daily.
Stress Modification Techniques
In today’s society, we are stressed. Holistic Wellness encourages all clients to practice stress modification techniques such as hypnosis, breath-work, visualization, biofeedback, yoga, evidence-based therapy/counseling, and meditation.
