About this listen

A guide to help support women through post-partum healing on the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual levels.

This holistic guide offers practical advice to support women through postpartum healing on the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual levels - and provides women with a roadmap to this very important transition that can last from a few months to a few years.

Kimberly Ann Johnson draws from her vast professional experience as a doula, postpartum consultant, yoga teacher, body worker, and women's health care advocate, and from the healing traditions of Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and herbalism - as well as her own personal experience - to cover:

  • how you can prepare your body for birth;
  • how you can organize yourself and your household for the best possible transition to motherhood;
  • simple practices and home remedies to facilitate healing and restore energy;
  • how to strengthen relationships and aid the return to sex;
  • learning to exercise safely postpartum;
  • carrying your baby with comfort;
  • exploring the complex and often conflicting emotions that arise postpartum;
  • and much more.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Way too much repetitive

The content is greet and super helpful, informative for many new mums and mums to be. However it could be done in few chapters instead of having it being repeated over and over at each chapter.

A great guide for moms battling with the 4th trime

It took me some time to her into it, but once I got going there was a lot of transferrable and valuable lessons and information that guided me through my personal journey of the 4th Trimester of my 2nd birth. Have recommended it to others.

I hated this book

I'm disappointed I waited too long to be able to return it. The idea of it sounds great but the author repeats herself a lot and offers very little aside from Western appropriation of practices she understands very little about.
