Benefits of Traditional Postpartum Care
Healing After Birth?
Giving birth can be tremendously stressful for the mother, even if she does it with the most beautiful ease and grace. Her sympathetic nervous response, the fight-flight-freeze response, is almost always heightened, especially in births that are outside of the home or that have complications. It is absolutely critical to support the mother in bringing her nervous system out of a sympathetic response and back into rest & digest mode so her body and mind can relax and heal.
Prevent & alleviate common postpartum complications including:
postpartum depression and mood disorders, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance, prolonged bleeding, lactation issues, blocked milk ducts or mastitis, perineum healing, painful sexual intercourse, bonding challenges, etc.
