MORE ABOUT US

Preparing to breastfeed

Prenatal visit with a lactation consultant- 90 minutes

Breastfeeding 101 personalized for your body, your goals. A lactation consultant will provide customized education, answer all your questions, and provide tools and resources to help you and your baby get set up for breastfeeding success.

Prenatal Physical Therapy

Birth preparation

Having a baby is a major athletic feat. Prepare your muscles for delivery and set yourself up for a great recovery by learning how to properly engage your pelvic floor.

A passion for evidence-based care

We hand-select every team member to ensure top quality care. Each of our physical therapists has extensive training and hands-on experience treating the full spectrum of physical challenges, including pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, sciatica, and more that arise during pregnancy and postpartum. Most of all, they have a passion for working with parents just like you.

Mental Health Support

At Partum, we’ve seen that the mental well-being of families is too often neglected. From navigating fertility treatments to hormonal changes and loss of sleep to changing relationship dynamics and shifting responsibilities – it’s a lot to manage. You do not need to manage it all alone.

Specialists always at your side

Our specialists are licensed clinical social workers and psychologists specializing in perinatal support. They are carefully selected and vetted based on their experience as experts. They will help with anything you need – from anxiety to depression to setting boundaries and achieving work-life harmony.

Nutrition services

Partum Health’s approach to nutrition support is highly tailored to the needs of each individual. Our registered dietitians meet you where you are and support you throughout the perinatal period.

Pre-pregnancy/fertility: optimize your diet for fertility, including reaching hormonal balance, reducing insulin resistance, and supporting egg and sperm health
First trimester: receive guidance on your body’s nutrient needs, manage symptoms like morning sickness, and get recommendations for prenatal vitamins and supplements.
Second and third trimesters: prevent and/or manage nutrition-related complications such as gestational diabetes as well as symptoms like heartburn, food cravings/aversions, cramping, and constipation. Guidance for meal prep and planning for postpartum nutrition.
Postpartum: meet your nutritional needs for recovery and build a foundation for healthy eating for the whole family. Meet your lactation goals by managing increased calorie and nutrition intake requirements for breastfeeding and pumping.

Support for gestational diabetes

For patients with a gestational diabetes diagnosis or those at higher risk for a diagnosis, our registered dietitians provide specialized care to help manage GDM and support your health and the health of your baby.

Up to 10% of US pregnancies are impacted by gestational diabetes (also called GDM). Our dietitians are experts in supporting those who have been diagnosed with or concerned about (or at a higher risk for) developing GDM. They will help you develop a nutritional plan to support your health and the health of your baby.

Gestational Diabetes Counseling
60 minutes: initial consultation
30-45 minutes: follow-ups

Our nutrition specialists

Our Registered Dieticians are fully licensed and are carefully vetted to ensure you receive top quality care. They have been hand picked based on their experience supporting parents and women from pre-conception through to postpartum. Most importantly they are ready to help you when and how you need support.

Acupuncture

Natural healing for your hard working body

From conception to fourth trimester recovery, having a baby is hard work for your body. Acupuncture therapy is a natural way to support your body’s efforts and help you feel like your best self.

Traditional medicine meets modern needs

Acupuncture has been used as part of healing practices throughout the world for thousands of years. The practice promotes blood circulation in targeted areas of the body and encourages the body’s natural systems to promote healing and wellness. Acupuncture can help with pain management and stress reduction and is commonly used in reproductive health including in fertility treatments, during pregnancy to manage common symptoms, and postpartum to aid recovery.
