postpartum is where the magic happens

Say NO to our culture’s treatment of new families. Revillage your family and set yourself up for success. Postpartum is about supporting the family in bonding. It is NOT about taking the baby from the family.

Too often this period is neglected, but it’s when you need the most support.

You and your baby are separate but still one. You are likely exhausted from birth and there is no break. It holds all the complexity of emotions that continues your tempering into parenthood. So expect there to be great swings in emotion, leaking fluids everywhere, old limits to be tested, and so much beauty that it kicks off the emotions all over again.

BUT if you are prepared to hold that space you will know that you can do it and appreciate the sacred time.

I have learned from other culture’s with strong postpartum traditions how to nourish families and hold space for this transition. Learn to ask for and accept help without shame or guilt.

Let’s work together to develop a family-centered postpartum plan.

Postpartum Offering Can Include:

• Developing & Setting Clear Boundaries With Family, Friends, And Work

• Defining The Role Of The Birth Partner
