Testimonial for Ross Erin Martineau
In my second trimester, I booked a postpartum retreat, excited about the prospect of a little rest and pampering after my scheduled c-section. When the retreat called me (less than a month before my daughter's due date) to say they were closing permanently, I found myself scrambling to find postpartum care. My friend recommended that I reach out to Ross, and I’m so glad I did! We had an initial meeting and she immediately put me at ease with her warmth, humor, knowledge, and no nonsense communication style. We hit it off immediately—and she made some suggestions during that initial in-home visit that really impacted my experience.
After the baby was born, Ross was invaluable to us. I remember the first time she came over I cried with relief. She wore the baby so I could get some much needed sleep, cooked nutritious meals (you will become addicted to her lactation balls, the perfect snacks for both breastfeeding moms and tired partners), helped me navigate pumping, and taught us how to babywear. She felt like a friend, a helpful and knowledgeable one, the friend every new mother deserves. She guided me through some gentle restorative poses that helped my physical recovery and helped me connect with my breath. Long after she stopped coming regularly, I was having some anxiety around breastfeeding and reached out to Ross and she came over to help put me at ease about my daughter’s latch. She also connected me to great resources, including an amazing pelvic floor therapist. Ross has a holistic approach to the postpartum phase, caring for the whole person--physically and emotionally. My partner also loved working with her.
I was a very anxious FTM and Ross melted away my anxiety. Hiring her was the single most necessary investment I made in my postpartum care. She is your ally, your friend, your baby whisperer. She’s warm, hilarious, and shares her knowledge in a way that feels collaborative and caring. Just hire her!
