Understanding the postpartum window based on the natural processes someone has gone through during birth. Understanding on a physical level, a mental level, an emotional level and a spiritual level.
It is about recognizing the far reaching benefits of full healing and support during the vulnerable weeks post birth. When we say 42 days for 42 years, we are recognizing that what we do during the weeks postpartum will have a direct impact on our vitality and health long into the future.
As a caregiver, it is about getting connected with a new mother’s intrinsic needs. Using our intuition and ancient, time tested knowledge of caring for a postpartum person.
Conscious care means looking at food as medicine, and herbal support foods as part of a daily routine for facilitating the return of strength. We look at the qualities in the food and how it can support the body’s natural processes.
We emphasize communication and listening as a way to integrate the monumental shift of self and process the heroic act of growing a baby inside the body and birthing that baby into the world. We set aside sacred time to honor the body’s incredible journey.
