Postpartum - Awareness and Planning

So much thought often goes into the birth the baby and preparing for these amazing events. While this is wonderful and recommended, very often postpartum - after the birth time - has very little preparation or even understanding about the massive changes about to come. A woman’s brain undergoes an incredible adjustment in preparation for caregiving and much of it is permanent! Though crucial to our species high demands for infant/child care and development, this can be a BIG adjustment and shock. Join us to learn about these amazing changes and prepare a plan unique to your needs for recovery, support and connection.
