Here we are in December ❄️

I’m not yet sure about meet-ups in December so pop to their pages for updates :)

🛖 They say it takes a village to raise a child but if you’re scratching your head wondering where on earth your village are, here are a selection of local support groups. They are almost all free to attend with a couple of exceptions.

🗣️If you’d like more information about anything listed here please feel free to contact me or the person who hosts the event (their insta handle is included in the info)

💬 You’re advised to join the WhatsApp group for meet-ups in case of time changes etc- see their profile for details.

♥️ Parents: if you end up trying one of these groups, let me know & birth workers: if you have a support group or event you’d like featured in January, tell me all about it 😊

In so many cultures, the early weeks after birth are sacred.
New mothers are nourished, cocooned, rested.
They’re cared for so they can focus on healing and bonding. (See stories for examples)

Rereading The First Forty Days always reminds me how much we can learn from those traditions.

Here in the West, we’re often encouraged to “bounce back” and do it all ourselves. But what if postpartum didn’t have to look like that?

What if we allowed others to cook for us, hold the baby, run the errands, fill our cup?

Supporting postpartum recovery isn’t a luxury - it’s a cultural wisdom we’ve lost and can reclaim ♥️

More on this to come

This lovely client ordered a smoothie and 50/50 capsules ♥️

“Hi Kimbo, we are doing really well thank you! My C-section recovery is going amazing! And so far I’m feeling really well in myself- hoping it’s all down to these capsules! 🙏🏻🙏🏻thanks again! Xx”

Finally, estradiol promotes the growth of new neurons and supports neuroplasticity, including the brain’s ability to change and adapt.
‘After menopause, the decline of oestrogen impacts all of these brain functionalities. It’s akin to an orchestra that continues to play but to a markedly different tune,’ Dr Mosconi says. For many women, the symptoms manifest as a vague sense of flatness or lack of spark; for others, outright anger.

What happens during oestrogen withdrawal?
Ostrogen receptors in various regions of the brain interact with the neurotransmitters responsible for mood, memory and cognition.
Think of neurotransmitters as little chemical messengers that send signals between nerve cells throughout the body. As hormone levels dip during perimenopause and menopause, these signals weaken and your brain goes through oestrogen withdrawal. Three of the neurotransmitters most affected by this include serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline.

Serotonin promotes a sense of calm, wellbeing and happiness. Low serotonin levels can lead to irritability and anxiety, which, along with making you generally cranky, can disrupt sleep.

What does this have to do with placentas? Well, a 2016 UNLV study concluded that the estradiol levels found in capsules could conceivably have physiological effects. Could this be one of the reasons that women find encapsulation so beneficial? Could this be why so many women find support in their tinctures during perimenopause? More research is certainly needed.

Had a doorstep chat with one client about the difficulties of splitting yourself when you have a baby to look after and another child. If you’re in this at the moment, hang on in there, it does get easier in time and in the meantime, call in all the support you can. Accepting help is a strength not a weakness (I struggle with this) ♥️

…

Images: Over the weekend I made some 50/50 capsules and a smoothie (not pictured) for my lovely client.

Yesterday I filtered and dropped off a tincture to another client and delivered a storage kit by hand becuse Evri are being awful at the moment.
