    It is recommended to receive a postpartum session at the earliest opportunity, provided both mother and infant are in good health. For clients receiving their session (in office) within four weeks after childbirth, the use of a car service is advised. Additionally, clients may receive recommendations or assignments to support their progress following the session.
