POSTPARTUM CARE PACKAGES
“When planning for your postpartum, help should not be seen as a luxury, but a necessity. If you can surrender to rest in the first forty days, you will live vibrantly for the next forty years.”
— Ysha Oakes —
Our modern culture has come to understand birth as the finish line, placing a huge emphasis on the pregnancy and delivery.
Birth is really only the beginning of a long journey ahead. We are living in a time where there are epidemic levels of perinatal mood disorders. Mothers are improperly educated and guided throughout what should be a very sacred and special time. Our mothers are suffering from depletion, exhaustion, isolation and a host of other symptoms that are considered a “normal” part of the process to motherhood.
How a mother feels in the days and weeks following the birth of her baby- how she is nourished and supported to heal, will affect her outcome as a mother, for years to come.
Community holding, facilitating rest and nourishment is the essential component to a woman’s whole and complete recovery after childbirth and will allow a new mothers whole and complete recovery.
“If you want to know the health of a people, look at the health of the mothers”
Rachelle Garcia Selliger
In the comfort of your home, I aim create a retreat-like environment
preparing nourishment, and setting up all of the healing modalities required as you rest and tend to your baby.
It is my wish
that the first 6 weeks after the birth of your baby are the best 6 weeks of your life.
My hope is to never intrude or disrupt, but to ensure the transition into parenthood is a gentle and nurtured experience.
