INNATE POSTPARTUM CARE
Support in the days after giving birth is essential and through traditional physiologic-centered practices and proper care, the postpartum time can be one of health, vitality, nourishment and ease. Innate Postpartum Care is rooted in physiologic-based practices and incorporates key elements of traditional postpartum care. This work provides deep nourishment and tending in the postpartum time, supporting the optimal health and well-being of mothers, parents and families. Ancient postpartum traditions from around the world all share deep common roots and include practices that are rooted in the body’s physiologic design. These traditions all include an extended resting period, warmth, nourishing foods, bodywork and supportive community.
