Mummy MOT
Midwife-led postnatal care for your body, your mind, and your whole self
Bringing a new life into the world is extraordinary: beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and everything in between. But once the appointments stop and the congratulations fade, you’re often left to navigate the recovery without professional guidance.
That’s where we come in.
​
Mummy MOT® at Home is a restorative postnatal service led by a qualified midwife who truly understands the physical and emotional journey of new motherhood. This isn’t a quick check-up. It’s a space to pause, reflect, and receive care that meets you where you are.
Care that comes to you.
In the early weeks and months, even leaving the house can feel like too much. That’s why we come to your home, whether that’s the sofa, your bed, or the nursery floor. There’s no pressure to tidy up or hold it together. Just space to breathe, be honest, and feel supported.
Led by a midwife. Centred on you
This is more than a physical assessment. As midwives, we bring both clinical knowledge and deep understanding of the emotional landscape of early motherhood. We’ll talk about your birth story, how your body is healing, how you're feeling in yourself, and anything else that's on your mind.
Your Mummy MOT® at Home includes:
-
Full postnatal assessment by a registered midwife and certified Mummy MOT® practitioner
-
Pelvic floor and abdominal check (including diastasis recti)
-
Posture, movement, and breathing assessment
-
Gentle emotional check-in and time to talk about birth, identity, and recovery
-
Personalised recovery plan tailored to your body and lifestyle
-
Support with feeding if needed, along with realistic strategies for self-care
-
A safe, non-judgemental space where your needs are heard and respected
Whether you're six weeks or six months postpartum, it's never too late to check in with yourself and get the support you deserve.
"I didn’t realise how much I needed this..."
That’s the most common feedback we hear. Postnatal care often ends too soon, and rarely offers space to focus on you. This is your chance to slow down, reconnect, and feel genuinely supported.
Recovery isn’t just about physical healing. It’s about confidence, clarity, and rediscovering yourself in this new chapter.
