reclaim the celebration of your
journey into motherhood,
even if it's 50 years after
the birth of your baby.
postpartum
is forever
2 part session
from 8 weeks until 50 years after birth
It doesn’t matter how long ago you had your baby, postpartum lasts forever.
You can still receive the support now that you didn’t get when your baby was born, even if it was 50 years ago.
Especially if you have lingering feelings that never went away, that you may feel shame to express because, on the surface, "everything turned out just fine."
Suppressed emotions don’t disappear with time, unfortunately, they build up silently, stored in the body, directly impacting how we think, feel, and respond to life.
This two-part session is designed to give mothers a space to process, reflect, and feel acknowledged as they share their birth stories and the profound transition into motherhood.
Combined with different bodywork techniques, this holistic approach helps reconnect with the body, releasing tension from the birth experience and activating the body’s innate healing mechanism, honouring both the emotional and physical aspects of your journey into motherhood.
The session concludes with the Closing of the Bones Ceremony , a traditional Mexican postpartum ritual to honor, nourish, and celebrate the transition that marks both the birth of the baby and the rebirth of the mother.
Sessions in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
