In honoring the postpartum period, we honor the foundation of lifelong health and well-being for both mother and baby.
In today’s wellness culture, there’s a strong focus on supporting women during pregnancy—through practices like prenatal yoga, herbal teas, and supplements—all aimed at maintaining a healthy pregnancy. Yet, while these are beneficial, our culture often overlooks the postpartum period, a critical phase for both mother and baby.
​
In traditional cultures, this sacred time of recovery can last several weeks to months, prioritizing healing over rushing back to ‘normalcy.’ Knowing how to truly nourish and heal the body is an art often lost in modern life. Women can take steps to prevent many of the emotional and physical challenges that are commonly accepted after birth, simply because our culture hasn’t preserved the wisdom of caring for the new mother.
