Prenatal Care

Perinatal Continuity of Care at Casa Matrescence offers integrative, non-clinical support that accompanies you through each step of pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. Care is designed to complement your healthcare provider while prioritizing your overall wellbeing, supporting thoughtful health planning, embodied preparation, and adaptive care as needs shift and realities change.

Pregnancy is not just a lead-up to birth, it is a period of ongoing physiological, emotional, and relational change. The kind of support you receive during this time can shape not only how birth unfolds, but how you recover, integrate, and step into parenthood.

What Continuity of Care Means

Continuity of care at Casa Matrescence fills an essential threshold within maternal healthcare, one that is non-clinical, relational, and deeply supportive of the day-to-day realities families face as they move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

While medical providers play a critical role in ensuring safety and addressing clinical needs, continuity of care exists in the spaces between appointments, protocols, and systems. It is in these spaces that families often need the most support in navigating change, uncertainty, emotional processing, and the practical adaptations of becoming parents.

Continuity of care means you are supported by a consistent presence who understands your full context over time. You have a coach, consultant, and intuitive guide walking alongside you to help integrate preparation, decision-making, and care as a fluid journey rather than a series of disconnected events.

At Casa Matrescence, continuity allows prenatal preparation to naturally evolve into birth support, and birth support to transition into postpartum integration, without abrupt hand-offs or gaps in care. Through relationship over time, trust deepens, attunement grows, and families are better supported to not only navigate birth, but to also be well cared for so they thrive as they step into parenthood.

Prenatal Adaptation Care

Prenatal care within this pathway focuses on adaptation of supporting the body, nervous system, and daily rhythms as pregnancy progresses. Preparation is not limited to birth preferences, but includes how you live, move, rest, nourish yourself, and relate to change.

Care may include integrative prenatal guidance, embodied practices, Ayurvedic wellness assessments, movement and meditation support, partner involvement, and thoughtful planning for a range of birth outcomes including cesarean or other deviations from the original plan.

This care pathway encompasses:

Ongoing prenatal peer counseling, typically every two weeks, focused on birth and postpartum preparation
Comprehensive Ayurvedic wellness assessment to support pregnancy-specific needs
A personalized prenatal routine addressing daily rhythm, nourishment, and nervous system support attuned through each trimester
Weekly or twice-weekly 1:1 prenatal yoga and meditation sessions (partner and children welcome to join)
Weekly or twice-weekly partner-inclusive functional strength and conditioning sessions
Partner involvement in preparation, coordination, and support planning
Participation in community-based childbirth education
Preparation for physiological birth, medical interventions, cesarean birth, and postpartum recovery

This prenatal preparation lays the groundwork for continuous labor support and a more integrated transition into the postpartum period.

Birth Threshold Support

Birth is a threshold and one that often unfolds in ways we cannot fully predict. Continuous labor support within this care pathway prioritizes nervous system regulation, presence, and adaptability rather than rigid expectations. Birth threshold support is offered in collaboration with your chosen healthcare providers and support team, within a non-clinical scope of practice.

Support during birth is grounded in prior relationship, shared understanding, and the ability to pivot when circumstances change, allowing you and your support team to move through the experience with greater steadiness and trust.

Birth support encompasses:

On-call availability during the established birth window
Continuous labor support
Immediate postpartum grounding and integration support (typically 2–4 hours following birth)

Birth support is offered exclusively within Perinatal Continuity of Care, ensuring adequate preparation, continuity, and relational trust.

Early Postpartum Integration

Care within this pathway continues beyond birth, supporting the transition into the early postpartum period. This includes initial postpartum presence, emotional processing, and guidance as you begin recovery and adjustment.

From here, families may transition into ongoing postpartum support or immersive Ayurvedic postpartum care, depending on needs, capacity, and desire for continued support.

Within the Perinatal Continuity of Care pathway, early postpartum support may include:

Initial postpartum presence following birth
Emotional processing and space to integrate the birth experience
Guidance around rest, nourishment, and early recovery
Support with infant care and feeding in the immediate postpartum window
Gentle orientation to the first days and weeks at home
Transition planning into ongoing postpartum or immersive Ayurvedic care, if desired

From here, families may transition into ongoing postpartum support or immersive Ayurvedic postpartum care, depending on needs, capacity, and desire for continued support.
