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.

The Power of Food as Medicine During the Fourth Trimester
After giving birth, your body is in a unique state that requires specialized nourishment and hydration to properly heal and strengthen. Food is your medicine for healing and strengthening the body and mind. Eating "healthy" may not always be enough to support your healing during the postpartum phase. In this session, you will learn how to nourish and hydrate yourself correctly to support the healing process after childbirth.
Every aspect of the postpartum recovery is connected to your digestion, including healing, mental health, breastfeeding, strength, and 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
