"As women, we have rites of passages built into our physiologic design. Our work is to remember & honour these rites"

-Rachelle Garcia Seliga

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.

Join me in this 6 week group online mentorship, where we will explore how you can take your postpartum care into your own hands by preparing NOW, before you enter the postpartum journey!

 

We will dive into the wisdom of postpartum care & preparation based on the 5 essential pillars of postpartum care: NOURISHMENT, WARMTH, REST, COMMUNITY & CEREMONY!

​

Postpartum care is apart of our physiological design as women. My intention is to support you in remembering this innate wisdom within your body.
