Postpartum care NOT as a luxury but as an essential, with Brittany Zeer

There's a massive gap in care for mothers after having a baby. Brittany Zeer, creator of Blissful Womb Care joins me in this episode to discuss the importance of supporting postpartum healing as a way to improve the wellness of not just a family, but the community.She outlines the 5 essentials that every woman should be offered including: Rest, Warmth, Body Care, Nourishment, and Community SupportWe also discuss the Rite of Passage a woman goes through when becoming a mother and how often the Rite of Passage is incomplete; missing the integration of a new beginning and new identity. To properly complete this Rite of Passage, we need social recognition and community care, which is generally lacking in our culture. “Birth is just a blip in timePregnancy is just a blip in timeBut postpartum is foreverYou’ll never not be postpartum again”-Brittany ZeerBrittany reminds us that the postpartum period is forever, not just the 6-12 weeks we are led to believe.  At the time of this recording, I was 18 months postpartum and had the opportunity to experience one of  Brittany's postpartum packages first hand. In this episode, I  debrief my experience including the lessons I learned after processing my birth story with her and  my experience during the Closing of the Bones ceremony. Brittany supports women and mothers with Menstrual Cycle and Fertility Awareness, 1-on-1 Pregnancy Support, Prenatal Yoga, and Postpartum Care.
