The types of support you can expect include:

Sometimes people need more complex support that falls beyond the basic care packages that all practitioners within our team are able to provide, requiring specialist knowledge and skills. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Birth trauma support 
• Breastfeeding support 
• Supporting newborn with complex needs 
• Mental health support 
• Domestic violence support
• Advocacy with health and/or social services where the client and/or child is at high risk or has significant health concerns ​

Please note, we DO NOT provide any medical assessments or provide medical advice.
​

We provide post natal services to families in the Glastonbury and surrounding areas.

The Mamma Village has secured funding through the National Lottery to support the cost of those needing postnatal support through fully or partially-funded care packages. 

​We are very passionate about ensuring all families are well supported during their postnatal recovery. Ensuring you have the right support during this time can help combat postnatal depression, isolation, burn-out and other negative outcomes.
