It is said that how a mother is cared for in the first 40 days after birth affects the next 40 years of her life.
Many traditional cultures understand the importance of this time period on a mother’s long term health. We can look to our physiology — how our bodies are designed — to see what is required for healing in the immediate time after birth and how working against this can cause many common situations that are normalized in our culture but certainly are not “normal”.
Looking at it through this lens, we can see that proper postpartum care is not a luxury, but a necessity for thriving life.
This course weaves together wisdom from the world’s postpartum traditions, backed by modern science and rooted in the biology of women’s bodies.
By aligning ourselves with our biology, we give our bodies the chance to optimally heal and transition with more ease.
This takes us outside of the culture of “bounce back” - trying to rush back to who we were before. We can slow down, ease in, and come forward through this experience to become more fully who we are now.
When mothers are cared for, they can more freely care for their babies and families from a fulfilled place.

Who is this class for?
This class is designed for mothers and partners from pre-conception through 35 weeks gestation. It is important that the mother does not receive this information alone. Fathers/partners/family/friends who will be supporting the mother through and after birth attend class as well.
Together we will:
Gather in community with like-hearted families.
Discuss postpartum physiology and optimal support for this time.
Make a personalized plan for your unique wants and needs during your postpartum period
Make a resource list.
Brainstorm ideas for support and funds.
