Transformative Healing in the Years Postpartum

  • By admin
  • In All Posts

Let’s be real for a minute: postpartum doesn’t last 6 weeks. It can last upwards of 6 years.

So often there is no emphasis of postpartum care at all and when there is, it generally applies to those in the first 6 weeks after giving birth.

I’m here to tell you there is so much more to the story.

What I see in my own work as a Womb Whisperer® and Postpartum Bliss Coach is that so many women are suffering beyond these initial few weeks.

  • Hair loss
  • Mood Swings
  • Bloating, gas, indigestion
  • Depression / Anxiety
  • Hormone imbalances
  • Constant headaches
  • Autoimmune issues
  • Resurfacing trauma

And so much more.

These are NOT the problem but the symptoms of a greater issue at hand.

In my own journey into motherhood, I checked off every single one of these symptoms and more. And not a single person was there to help me in what I needed most.

The reality is, when you aren’t feeling well physically, mentally, and emotionally, it greatly compromises your well-being and your immune system.

And taking that a step further, your well-being will shape how you show up as a mother, wife, and so much more. It’s lasting repercussions impact not just you, but your entire family… for a lifetime.

It’s not too late to heal.

No matter where you are on your motherhood journey…. no matter how many children you have…. it’s never to late to heal your body.

What you need to know, however, is how the postpartum body is physiologically DIFFERENT. How your body heals and reacts to certain healing modalities is very unique. This means that what worked for you in pregnancy or before pregnancy may be different or inapplicable, to your postpartum.

My teachings and healing remedies are revolutionary, and that’s the very reason my clients get tremendous results.

And I’ve created an entire free in-depth how-to guide and mini e-course on exactly how to heal. 

This guide is a culmination of science, collaboration, cultural study, countless interviews and the experiences of hundreds of women over the course of a decade of research.

By focusing on the foundations of healing, you can bring in that transformation that you so desperately need.

A little warning

The information I’m providing you is much different than what you hear and see on healing, immune-boosting, and postpartum wellness as a whole.

Instead of fads, dieting, or even supplements, pills, or shakes (none of which I recommend), I invite you to focus on the 3 roots of healing.

These three topics are the root cause of nearly every single postpartum symptom, including depression, anxiety and autoimmune disorders.

1. Nutrition

What you put into your body will become your body, so much so, that the mark of dis-ease and mental health challenges are born in lack and deficiencies.

Every function and process in your body runs on the energy from the foods you provide it. This doesn’t mean that you have to stick to a strict diet with zero yumminess (I don’t recommend doing that!), but it does mean that foods deserve bigger credit than they are given.

Study after study on postpartum depression and anxiety, as well as autoimmune disease and immune dysfunction, are finding that those who are deficient in key nutrients are also likely to have these major health issues.

2. Sleep

Getting sleep in the postpartum period is a multi-billion-dollar industry.

The fact remains, however, that sleep is essential for wellness, nervous system function and immune health. No amount of self-care can replace your need for solid, deep sleep.

Much like nutrition looks different in postpartum, so too does quality sleep, and for much more obvious reasons.

However, there are other factors at play that are far less obvious when it comes to the physiological and mental changes that take place in postpartum. These greatly impact how quickly a mama sleeps, how deeply, her REM cycle and even how she wakes.

3. Hormones

“It must be hormones…” Major hair loss, mood swings, menstrual pain, constant headaches, fatigue, depression, anxiety, weight gain…the list of symptoms of hormone imbalance often seems unending. And they are the first to blame anytime you don’t feel well. “It must be hormones” is a consistent statement we hear from our partners, medical providers, mothers, and even ourselves.

It’s true that hormones play a significant part in the functionality of your body, especially in relation to pregnancy, birth and postpartum. As explained in the other sections of this guide, a postpartum body has very specific needs to address that are far different than any other period in a woman’s life.

So how can you use this information?

The brief information I’m sharing with you in this post turns much deeper in the free in-depth how-to guide and mini e-course on exactly how to heal. 

I share strategies, tools, and actionable techniques that you can begin doing today to support your health, healing and immune system.

Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depres Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depression and anxiety?

Do you know why so many of us run to comfort food in times of stress?

Here’s an important truth bomb:

💥Your stomach has more nerve cells than your brain.💥

This is also why food has the ability to calm our emotions more completely than any breathing technique ever will. The link between our stomach and our brain health is undeniable.

POOR GUT HEALTH AND LACK OF NUTRIENTS ARE ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.

Take that in for a second.

As professionals showing up to serve, we must understand this in order to elevate our practice and truly help mothers and families thrive.

We need root cause care. Click the link in my bio to save your seat for the Postpartum Nutrition Certification Program!

“Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly. “Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly.

Although the signs that this isn’t working are everywhere, where do we look when stepping outside of the modern norm?

It is this crossroads where we’re given the opportunity to come home to the traditions and cultural practices that have been lost across generations.

The secret to a better way of experiencing motherhood rests in this wisdom.

The way back, however, requires a deep process of discovery and digging back to our roots. Today, we’re here to share our best advice and what we’ve been working on at Postpartum University to help you get started.

When I first started working as a childbirth educa When I first started working as a childbirth educator, doula, and nutrition coach nearly 15 years ago, I was absolutely terrified of HERBS. 😖

Over the last several years, my attitude has changed significantly. I've had the privilege to homestead on a 40-acre forest in Alaska (where I've lived 100% of the time for the last several years). I've grown comfortable foraging wild berries and harvesting devils club, wild chamomile, rose hips, fireweed, and so much more.

My passion for the land and its medicine took me into a Women's Herbalist Certification program, and I've had the advantage of working with locals to learn and grow my own love of God's earthly medicine.

And even more importantly, I've learned that herbs are nothing to be afraid of. Over the last few generations, the healthcare industry and medical market has successfully placed fear, worry, and anxiety over herbs, marking them as dangerous, unknown, and highly risky, especially in pregnancy and postpartum.

I fell for the "it's not safe and it's out of my scope" trap. And I see so many professionals doing the exact same.

This is exactly why I created the free upcoming training:

How to Use Herbs in Postpartum (Safely)!

A free masterclass for professionals who want to incorporate traditional root medicine into their practice without feeling constant worry.

In this 90 minute masterclass, you'll be learning:

🌿 How to use herbs effectively and safely in the sensitive postpartum period, even when you're not an herbalist.
🌿 A 4-step framework that makes herbal knowledge and use significantly easier to understand and apply.
🌿 Using herbs as Root Cause medicine while busting myths that have kept herbal knowledge in the hands of few.
🌿 And plenty more!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! This will be held on August 17th at:

10am Alaska Standard Time (AST)
1pm Central Standard Time (CST)
6pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Limited seats available. REPLAY AVAILABLE.

We will conclude with a Q+A session and you will be given a followup juicy BONUS download with specific information that goes beyond this Masterclass (for live attendees only).
