The Healing Month - Your Guide to Harnessing the Power of the Post-Birth Healing Process
Did you know that in the month after giving birth new mothers have the best chance of restoring their health to an optimal state? The post-birth healing time is one of the most crucial health junctures in a woman’s life. With the right understanding and preparation, women will understand what happens to their bodies during this time and how to support their healing.
In fact, in many Asian cultures it is understood that a woman can become even healthier and stronger than before getting pregnant if she follows the right healing methods in the 30 days after delivery. The life-changing concept of the Healing Month is derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but in this series has been given a modern and accessible approach to support new mothers in their postnatal healing phase.

Postpartum Healing
From the moment you give birth, your body will begin its healing process. If you understand how to support your body during this time, you can heal yourself to a stronger state than even before getting pregnant.
In this class you will discover how to support the body’s natural healing process and to fuel your recovery so that you are stronger in body and mind than ever before.

After giving birth your body is in a completely different state – one that will require an adapted nourishment and hydration routine. Simply “eating healthy” will not support your body in healing and strengthening - actually much of what we consider as conventionally "healthy" might actually work against the needs of your body at this time.
In this session you will discover the best way to nourish and hydrate yourself to support the healing process after giving birth. Every part of the postpartum phase hinges on your digestion – healing, mental wellbeing, breastfeeding, strength, weight loss…

Mummy Tummy - Understanding Diastasis
100% of pregnant women beyond 35 weeks have some degree of abdominal separation. It is normal. However for many women (39% at 6 month post-natal) this is still present post-natally and is associated with pelvic floor symptoms, back pain and reduced confidence in your appearance.

"I don’t believe in ‘bouncing back’ after you give birth. The body has changed, so I can definitely help someone lose weight and put on muscle, but the body will never be the same. It’s created and carried a human life; the body will never be what is was before because it's become so much more.” Ziggy
