INNATE Postpartum Care
Planning for the Fourth Trimester Course
Join me in a community of expecting mothers for a postpartum education course rooted in the physiology of the mother. This course is designed to help you prepare yourself for a nourished & community supported postpartum journey.
Next cohort begins January 22nd!
"When mothers are healthy and well, so then are their families. When families are health and well, so then is the community. Health and well communities are the best way we can responsibly tend to the health of Mother Earth."

You are nestled within the chrysalis of your pregnancy. Surrendering to the growth of your baby, your body & your spirit.
This is a space of deep transformation as you prepare to enter the portal of birth to bring your baby Earthside.
Once you are on the other side of birth and have entered the initial seconds, days, & months of your postpartum journey, it is essential to your health that you are supported. It is essential to your baby’s health that you are supported.
Postpartum planning is essential to women’s health. Ancient traditions around the world recognize the first 6 weeks postpartum as a sacred window, requiring increased support from the community to maintain health & prevent dis-ease in the newborn mother-baby dyad.
Postpartum planning is preventative medicine. By prioritizing your care and support in the postpartum time, you are decreasing your risk of perinatal mood disorders, including anxiety & depression, thyroid disfunction, autoimmune diseases, microbiome disruptions, organ prolapse and many more common but not normal irregularities in women.
"I was given the opportunity to take this course from Jess to prepare for my transition into motherhood. This was such a great experience to indulge in to help process & prepare for the journey ahead. It has also been a useful resource to reflect back to now that I am walking the path of motherhood. This course holds so much wisdom, resources & helpful tools to prepare for the postpartum journey. Jess is honestly gifted with how she shares this knowledge. I truly recommend investing in this course, as there is something everyone can take from this. As Jess continued to remind me, "everything i have shared with you is already INSIDE you. You are remembering your own inner wisdom."

The classes will not be recorded, and it is strongly encouraged for both you, your partner (or main support person) & your support system to attend all classes, so you, the mother can focus on integrating the wisdom rather than educating your support system.
This series is designed to be taken by pregnant women, anywhere between 20ish-35 weeks gestation. Again, it is highly encouraged that your support system attends the classes as well.
​
This class series is NOT designed for doulas, midwives or other maternal healthcare providers. If you are seeking this wisdom to share with women, I invited you to explore Rachelle's INNATE Postpartum Care Certification Training.
