The journey through postpartum recovery is unique for every mother, which is why at Materna Health, we've assembled a diverse team of specialists to support you through our Virtual Intensive Postpartum Care (IPC) program.

Let's take a closer look at the experts who will be by your side, guiding you towards optimal postpartum health and wellbeing.

1. Care Providers: Your Medical Anchors

At the core of your care team are our highly skilled Care Providers, including Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists and Perinatal Nurse Navigators.

Maternal-Fetal Medicine Specialists are obstetricians with additional training in high-risk pregnancies and postpartum complications. With their extensive knowledge, they ensure that any complex medical needs are addressed promptly and effectively.

Perinatal Nurse Navigators act as your primary guides through the postpartum journey. These experienced nurses specialize in perinatal care and serve as a bridge between you and the rest of your care team, ensuring seamless communication and personalized attention.

You'll interact with these providers during regular check-ins and as needed for specific health concerns, ensuring your medical needs are always prioritized.

2. Physical Therapists: Your Body's Best Allies

Our Physical Therapists are experts in postpartum rehabilitation. They understand the unique challenges your body faces after childbirth and are equipped with specialized knowledge in pelvic floor therapy, chronic pain, and overall physical recovery.

Through scheduled sessions and as-needed consultations, they'll guide you through safe, effective exercises to help you regain strength, improve mobility, and address any physical discomfort you may be experiencing.

3. Mental Health Specialists: Your Emotional Wellness Guardians

The postpartum period can be emotionally challenging, which is why our team includes dedicated Mental Health Specialists. This group comprises Behavioral Health Specialists and Psychiatrists, all with specific training in perinatal mental health.

Our Behavioral Health Specialists offer therapy sessions to help you navigate the emotional ups and downs of new motherhood, while our Psychiatrists are available to provide medication management if needed. You'll have scheduled therapy sessions and the flexibility to reach out as needed, ensuring your mental health is never neglected.

4. Lactation Consultants: Your Breastfeeding Coaches

Our International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are the go-to experts for all things related to infant feeding. Whether you're breastfeeding, formula feeding, or a combination of both, these specialists provide evidence-based advice to ensure your baby is well-nourished and you're comfortable.

You'll have scheduled consultations with them, but they're also available for on-demand support when unexpected feeding challenges arise.

5. Dietitians: Your Nutrition Guides

Proper nutrition is crucial for postpartum recovery and overall health. Our Registered Dietitians specialize in perinatal nutrition, understanding the unique dietary needs of recovering mothers and breastfeeding women.

Through scheduled consultations, they'll help you create a dietary plan that supports your recovery, maintains your energy levels, and contributes to your overall wellbeing.

6. Care Coordinators: Your Personal Healthcare Navigators

Last but certainly not least are our Care Coordinators. These organizational wizards manage your overall care experience, handling everything from appointment scheduling to insurance queries. They're your first point of contact for general support and ensure that your journey through the IPC program is smooth and stress-free.

Collaborative Care at Your Fingertips

What makes our team truly special is how they work together. All team members have access to your care plan and updates, ensuring a cohesive approach to your care. You can easily reach your entire care team through the Materna Health app, scheduling appointments or sending messages as needed.
