POSTPARTUM and the forth trimester

This is a deep time for integration of the birth experience. While you care for your baby and you start to know each other, you will slowly adjust to this new life and new you. This process takes time and is important that you have the right support. The first 40 days are what ancient traditional midwives call the “Quarantena” (lit. forty days) originally mothers were required to stay home for this period while the community was taking care of them. What mothers need in this 40 days is deep profound care, feeling supported and heard while they adjust in their new role. I can support you during this special time with proper food, light house work, babysitting, pet sitting, and just listening to your story or going out for walk in nature.
