Did you know that ancestral trauma can remain in our luminous field for up to 7 generations back?! The pain and trauma from the ancestors we have never met can affect us to this day. This is why it is so important to do cord cutting and clear our energetic fields. When it comes to birth (and so many other things in life), we must reclaim our power. Many of us have grown up in a fear-based birth culture, myself included. To be honest, giving birth used to be my biggest fear in life! Can you believe that? I’m here to tell you now that you can write your own story. And when you do, it will heal you, your ancestors and future generations in ways you never could have dreamed of. More often than not, when supporting families in my role as a doula + friend, I hear comments like, “Wow, this was so much better than I imagined,” or, “Wow, this was so much more positive than my previous birth experience.” Birth is a normal, natural human process and my wish is that all birthers #birthwithoutfear no matter what type of birth they have. Special thanks to my boo @phillscreeton and my midwife, Jenny for creating and holding a safe + loving space for me to go within and do my thing during my birthing time. I think about it every single day and it healed me in so many ways. In ways I wasn’t aware I needed until afterwards. “A woman who heals herself heals her mother, heals her daughter and every woman around her.” Image via @mothermusemag #birth #doula #birthdoula #ancestralhealing #peaceonearthbeginswithbirth #tellmeagoodbirthstory

5 UNIVERSAL POSTPARTUM NEEDS 🌞 1. EXTENDED REST PERIOD Also known as confinement, sitting in the month, the golden month, the sacred window, the first 40 days where the mother-baby unit need to be sequestered. The mothers nervous system needs to be protected. Mom is to be attended to. People + the community come to her. 2. NOURISHMENT Warming + nourishing foods. An abundance of collagen rich, nutrient dense + high fat foods. Hydration. 3. CONTACT WITH WISE WOMEN Extended family, Midwives, doulas, friends + community. Women must not be left alone. Just like you would never leave a new baby, never leave a new mom. 4. LOVING TOUCH A therapeutic medicinal modality like massage will assists in flushing the body’s tissue. This is especially important if medication was used in labour. Hydrate postpartum to assist in flushing the tissues. Massage should be the first “exercise” for the postpartum mother. Contact + receiving is needed. Since the mother is giving SO much, she needs to receive. Touch is a way of coming back into material reality. 5. CONTACT WITH NATURE Coming into contact with the larger forces in life. Grounding. How different would our world be if all postpartum people were cared for and nurtured in this way?! It’s up to us to support one another. Spread the word. Also, I highly recommend the book ‘The Fourth Trimester’ by Kimberly Johnson @magamamas | photo by @wyldephoto for @motherbees @rudyjude #thefourthtrimester #postpartum #takebackpostpartum #doula #womenshealth
