Postpartum
Body Care & Nourishment
with Nikki
New mothers need at least 6 weeks after birthing their baby to rest, nourish, and revitalize their body. It takes this amount of time for our tissues to fully heal, and for our organ systems to begin working as they before pregnancy. Our Holistic Postpartum Care is influenced by Traditional and Ayurvedic postpartum care practices that have served women for thousands of years and across nearly every continent. Our sessions are focused on a new mother’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and are chosen based on preferences and needs.
Avoid struggles with mood, overwhelm, colic, and lactation with these tried and true ancient practices. These rituals will allow the mother to be mothered and to bond with baby. This care is an investment in mother and baby’s current health, and will have lasting effects well past the time of menopause.
Postpartum Care is not a luxury, it is a NECESSITY.
