Latched & Bloom is a nurse practitioner–led postnatal clinical care practice providing in-home and virtual support for mothers and newborns during the early postpartum period.

Our services focus on:

• postpartum recovery (vaginal and C-section)

• infant feeding (breast, bottle, or combination)

• newborn adjustment and early development

• maternal mental and emotional wellbeing

We offer care through a structured postnatal pathway, ranging from single in-home visits to our 6-week concierge care program, ensuring families receive calm, continuous, clinically grounded support during the most vulnerable weeks after birth.

We also offer select additional clinical services, including medical ear piercing.

We begin with a gentle postnatal consultation call to understand your needs and recommend the most supportive care option for you and your baby.

You can request a consultation through our website, or contact us directly at hello@latchedandbloom.ca or 289-278-9666.

From there, we’ll guide you through next steps and schedule your in-home care.

Latched & Bloom provides nurse practitioner–led private clinical care. Many families are able to receive partial or full reimbursement through their extended health benefits, depending on their individual policy.

Coverage is often available under categories such as:

• Nurse Practitioner services

• Private duty nursing

• Lactation or infant feeding support

• Mental health services

Because coverage varies by insurer and plan, we provide a detailed invoice and, when requested, a medical necessity letter to support your claim.

We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your specific benefits.

Latched & Bloom operates as a private postnatal clinical care practice, providing in-home Nurse Practitioner–led services that are not part of the publicly funded OHIP system.

Under Ontario’s healthcare framework, Nurse Practitioners are permitted to offer services in a private setting, provided these services are not replacing or duplicating insured OHIP services, and patients are informed that care is being delivered privately.

The care provided by Latched & Bloom — including postnatal recovery monitoring, infant feeding support, maternal mental health screening, and in-home clinical assessments — is considered private postnatal care and is therefore offered on a private-pay basis.

This care is in addition to any services you receive through the public system, such as:

• hospital-based postpartum care

• family physician or midwife follow-ups

• publicly funded postpartum checks

When appropriate, your Nurse Practitioner may still order investigations, referrals, or diagnostic testing that remain covered by OHIP (such as lab work or imaging).

This private care model allows families to access:

• extended appointment times

• in-home clinical visits

• continuity of care

• prevention-focused support

• personalized nurse practitioner oversight

without the time constraints or access limitations of the public healthcare system.

Latched & Bloom is a nurse practitioner–led postnatal clinical care practice founded by Simone Johnson, a Nurse Practitioner with advanced training and experience in labour and delivery, postpartum care, neonatal intensive care (NICU), pediatrics, lactation, and maternal mental health.

Unlike traditional postnatal services that focus on one area (such as feeding alone or emotional support alone), Latched & Bloom provides integrated clinical care for the whole mother–baby dyad. This means physical recovery, infant feeding, newborn adjustment, and maternal mental wellbeing are assessed and supported together — in one calm, continuous care relationship.

Our model is built on:

• extended, unrushed in-home visits

• clinical continuity with a Nurse Practitioner

• prevention-focused care rather than crisis-driven care

• trauma-informed and nervous-system-aware support

• personalized care plans that evolve as your needs change

Families choose Latched & Bloom because they want medical-level care delivered with warmth, time, and depth — not fragmented appointments, rushed visits, or feeling left to navigate postpartum alone.

A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced graduate-level education and clinical training.

NPs are qualified to assess, diagnose, and manage health concerns, prescribe medications, order diagnostic tests, and provide comprehensive clinical care. They work both autonomously and in collaboration with other healthcare professionals.

At Latched & Bloom, your Nurse Practitioner provides postnatal clinical care focused on maternal recovery, infant feeding, newborn adjustment, and maternal mental health — offering medical-level expertise with the time, continuity, and relational care that families often don’t receive in traditional healthcare settings.

Nurse Practitioners play a vital role in improving access to care by delivering high-quality, evidence-based healthcare in a more personalized and accessible way.
