Across most traditional cultures the postpartum period is recognized as an integral time for a mother to heal, integrate and bond with her fresh new babe.

It’s through the combination of rest, warmth, nourishment, community & ritual, that the journey of birth can be brought to a close in a way that protects mother’s vitality for the rest of her life.

In modernized fast-paced cultures, this knowledge is not already held by the people. This can make it challenging for a mother and baby, to not only find the adequate support and nurturance, but to actually allow herself to receive it.

This is not a matter that only concerns people with children. It affects us all, because the health of our communities begin with taking care of our mothers first.
