The Postnatal Period should be a time to honour the miracle of new life. It should be centred around recovery on a deep, cellular, spiritual level. This rest gently supports our transcendence into Matrescence and provides us with a powerful foundation.
 
We cannot mother from a place of depletion
 
We cannot give on every level when we are running on empty
 
Our body physically needs to rest
 
Our mind needs time to process the birth experience
 
Our spirit needs time to recognise it's new role
 
Postnatal Recovery cannot be rushed. It's not about matching outfits, a tidy house for the millions of long lost relatives who want to hold your baby or getting back into your pre pregnancy clothes.
 
Postnatal Recovery is about creating a bubble, a nest where mum and baby can gently become attuned with their new rhythm. It's about feeling empowered to plan this time in the same way birth is often planned. It's about knowing it's ok to ask for help - we were never meant to do any of this alone.
