Create a peaceful, supported postpartum.
Postpartum is a sacred time, in many cultures this time is supported.
Whether this is your first baby or your third, this is a time of transformation, of unravelling and reweaving your new family unit.
In western culture we give very little reverence to this sacred window of time.
"The most difficult part of birth is the year afterwards. It is the year of travail - when the soul of the woman must birth the mother inside her.
It is the private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth, maybe it is even more sacred"
- Joy Kusek
This is the guide I wish I had as a new mama
As a new mama, I was completely blindsided by postpartum. I spent my entire pregnancy researching car seats, watching endless episodes of one born every minute and picking the perfect nursery decor, but I gave very little thought to what would happen once the baby was here or the profound ways that I would be transformed through motherhood.
I was knocked for six by the realities of a new baby, and a new identity as a mama. Over the last four years working in the motherhood and postnatal space, I have gathered resources.
I've created the postpartum support plan as a comprehensive, holistic guide to supporting your journey into motherhood - it's everything I wish someone had told me or prepared me with.
I truly believe that information is power, and through this guide you'll be empowered to have a supported and peaceful postpartum.
