Maternal mental health matters beyond the 6 week checkup. 🤍

Feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed is common and doesn’t mean you’re failing. Pay attention to your mind/body connection, ask for support from loved ones or professionals, and remember: taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your baby.

Postpartum emotions are real and they matter.

Mood swings, anxiety, and overwhelm are part of a massive physical and emotional transition, not a personal failure. Support, gentle care, and holistic practices can make this season feel safer and more supported.

Gentle movement after birth isn’t about “bouncing back.” ✨

It’s about healing your body, reconnecting with your core, and supporting your pelvic floor one simple stretch, walk, or breath at a time.

Even a few intentional minutes a day can make a big impact on your recovery.

Most of us in the West are taught to “bounce back” after birth. 💭

Short hospital stays, limited support, and endless to do lists make the first 42 days anything but sacred.

Traditional postpartum practices show us another way:

• Rest without guilt
• Meals that truly nourish and heal
• Gentle movement to reconnect with your body
• Emotional & community support

Even in the West, you can create your own sacred window. Protect it. Nourish it. Let yourself heal fully… body, mind, and heart.
