Healing after childbirth is a process that requires attention and care. Our postnatal recovery programs are designed to support both physical and emotional healing.
Services include C-section and vaginal birth recovery, scar tissue management, mental health support, physical therapy, and nutritional counseling. We work with you to restore strength, confidence, and balance during this tender phase.
Bringing a baby into the world is one of life’s most transformative experiences. But once the excitement of the birth settles, many women find themselves feeling physically depleted, emotionally overwhelmed, and unsure of how to care for their own needs while caring for a newborn. At Empower Her Health, we believe that postnatal care is just as important as antenatal care—and that no woman should navigate the fourth trimester alone.
Our Postnatal Recovery Programs in London are designed to support your healing journey after childbirth. Whether you’ve had a vaginal delivery, cesarean section, or a challenging birth experience, our tailored programs offer expert care, guidance, and emotional support during this crucial stage of recovery.
Why Postnatal Recovery Matters
Postnatal recovery—also known as postpartum recovery—goes far beyond physical healing. It includes:
-
Physical restoration (pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, hormones, energy)
-
Emotional and mental wellbeing (baby blues, anxiety, depression)
-
Establishing a bond with your baby
-
Learning how to adapt to new roles as a mother, partner, or caregiver
Unfortunately, many women are left to figure it all out on their own, with minimal support once they leave the hospital. Our mission is to change that.
At Empower Her Health, we offer comprehensive, holistic postnatal programs that honour the whole woman—body, mind, and spirit.
What Our Postnatal Recovery Programs Include
Our programs are designed by experienced midwives, women’s health physiotherapists, doulas, and mental health practitioners. We provide customised support that meets you where you are, whether you’re days, weeks, or even months postpartum.
Here’s what our recovery programs may include:
1. Pelvic Floor & Core Restoration
-
Assessment of pelvic floor function after birth
-
Guided pelvic floor exercises to rebuild strength and control
-
Safe abdominal rehabilitation, especially for diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

Many women don’t realise that pelvic floor dysfunction is common, but treatable. We help you rebuild from the inside out.
2. Scar & Cesarean Healing Support
-
Gentle scar massage and desensitisation
