You have made it through the challenges of pregnancy, gone through the initiation of birth, and are over the moon with your newborn baby—but now what? In our culture there is so much emphasis on pregnancy & birth preparations- postpartum is often in the shadows and not talked about.

They say the first forty days postpartum impacts a woman for the next forty years of her life.

It is a time of transformation, regeneration & healing of your physical body, navigating the emotional and psychological process of becoming a mother, a whole slurry of hormones and reforming of your identity. It is demanding on every level. And we were never meant to do it alone.

Cross culturally there are five principles of wellness that if implemented during the postpartum season- can create a supportive, nourishing and blossoming transition. They are—warm nourishing & nutrient dense food, to keep warm, bodywork, community and extended rest
