"HEAL AND THRIVE POSTPARTUM":
mini course
Optimize your physical recovery, boost your mood, nourish yourself, and confidently navigate early postpartum!
Do You Feel...
- shocked that generally, you are not scheduled to be seen by a postpartum care provider until six weeks?! SO many critical things are happening in that timeframe.
- like you are all alone trying to figure out the answers to a million questions about physical recovery, caring for your body, and supporting your mood?
- like the internet is a scary place to try to find accurate information about postpartum? What is safe? What is recommended? What should be avoided?
What If
- you could find answers to all of the questions you had about physical recovery (c-section or vaginal birth), supporting mood, and what is normal postpartum in one easy place?
- you did not have to do this alone?
- you recieved guidance that helped everything else falls into place—fortification (rather than dissolution) of your relationships, faster physical recovery, quicker mental rebounding, and the ability to show up as the mother you want to be.
You don't need to read ALL of the books or mine through (mis)information on the internet.
Instead, you can learn what you need to from the comfort of your couch.
Introducing
"Heal and Thrive Postpartum"
Recover faster physically, boost your mood, and discover simple but meaningful ways to nourish yourself postpartum.
You don't have to do this alone. Nor should you! Everyone (understandably!) prepares for birth. But very few people actually feel prepared for postpartum. When you get on the right course postpartum, watch as everything else falls into place. Get the support you need and deserve to feel empowered, informed, and nurtured during this critical time in your life.

What You'll Receive:
Nice to meet you!
My name is Lucy and I am a hospital-based midwife, holistic health coach, and mother of two.
I started Mad River Birth and Wellness when I realized how many people were needing and wanting more than what they were receiving in their routine obstetric care.
I offer virtual 1:1 coaching sessions for preconception, pregnancy, birth preparation, and postpartum. Woven into all of my virtual sessions and online education is a balanced background as both a medical and holistic practitioner. As a Yale-trained, hospital-based midwife for over a decade and a clinical instructor for resident physicians, I am well-versed in modern obstetrics. I integrate my medical background with a passion for holistic care and root-cause functional medicine. My philosophy of care is one of balance.
I cannot imagine ever giving up in-person care or attending births, but I LOVE coaching, providing education, and connecting with people just like YOU!
If you are wanting more personalized support for your postpartum recovery, I would love to work with you!
