Birth Recovery Care services are invaluable at ALL times, and equally (if not more so) during a crisis like COVID-19. Some of the Birth Recovery support that I offer is available remotely when safety prohibits in-person care. For the protection of all, especially those most vulnerable to COVID-19 and healthcare workers and others unable to shelter in place, Birth Recovery support care when Shelter in Place Orders are in effect can be provided as follows:
- Check-in, emotional support, and/or instruction of and support with well-being practices (EFT, Self-Breema®, TRE®, Yoga, etc.) is available remotely (by phone and/or video call appointments).
- Traditional physiologic postpartum care (described below) may be postponed until authorities have lifted the Shelter In Place Order. If clients and all household members are asymptomatic for COVID-19; have not been exposed to anyone who has COVID-19; have been practicing recommended safety guidelines (masking, hand washing, social distancing, sheltering in place, etc.); agree to accept the risk that I may be an asymptomatic carrier of COVID-19; and agree to stay masked and observe other recommended safety guidelines during the appointment, I may be able to provide traditional physiologic postpartum support in-person during shelter in place circumstances.
- Breema Bodywork® will be postponed until authorities have lifted the Shelter In Place Order AND the California Massage Therapy Council ("CAMTC") and any other applicable legal authorities have declared it safe and legal to provide massage and other hands-on bodywork regulated by the CAMTC.
Physiologic recovery care services are heating, integration, and sealing practices performed for Birth Givers in traditional cultures around the world. These services are intended specifically to nurture mind, body, & spirit; support physical, hormonal, energetic, and emotional wellness; and facilitate recovery from pregnancy and birthing. While they are especially recommended during the first 40 days after giving birth (starting in the first 2 weeks, if possible), they may be enjoyed anytime during or beyond the first year postpartum.
