Postpartum Recovery
Welcome
Postpartum is a unique period in a woman’s life. She experiences many changes, internally and externally – and they are profound. While navigating the depletion of pregnancy and birth we are still facing 24 hour days, hormonal swings, emotional shifts, changing identity, relationship challenges and days that are never the same. It’s easy (and common!) to feel overwhelmed and uncertain.
This resource is aimed at sharing some information and practical tips so that you can approach this time feeling empowered and prepared for what’s ahead. I want to reduce the overwhelm so that you can bond with your baby and step into motherhood with confidence.

Dr Claudia Nicholson
Having served the Sydney community for more than 25 years as a General Practitioner, I am passionate about the health and well-being of women, children, parents, and families, and feel strongly a good GP relationship provides a foundation of support, information & education, communication between health practitioners, and care.
I believe it is not only physical and mental health that contributes to our state of wellness, but also the strength of relationships in our lives, and the families and communities to which we are connected.
As a sports woman who runs and swims regularly and a yoga instructor (Sydney Sports Stadium) I am an advocate of preventative and proactive lifestyle choices, and am comfortable combining evidence based medicine with holistic care.
In this regard, I work closely with allied health professionals involved in my clients care including Naturopaths, Chiropractors, Nutritionists etc… and welcome this important aspect of optimising health outcomes. This is particularly important in the areas of child health, fertility, pregnancy and postnatal care, maintaining a modern, fresh, comprehensive and relevant approach.
