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.

The book is an excellent source of HONEST and CANDID information on postpartum including all the changes that happen to our body. A lot of the topics aren't widely covered in friendly conversations and often arent addressed by our ob-gyn so I think it is a great tool to help women to prepare for what's happening during and after birth and make sure they have done all the work necessary to minimise their birth trauma and its consequences
It also comes with a number of additional resources to work on lone and with a partner which again, I found incredibly useful as I was just going into parenthood 'winging it'.
Very insightful and practical

I have to say, listening to it at first, it was pretty hard-hitting. Kimberley is very clear about the sort of needs and support that a mum should try to have in place, in what is often spoken about in a mysterious, daunting and vague period of afterbirth. She sheds light on how important this time is and for me, she is a powerful voice in society for women, especially when this is not really spoken about until you get to the point of giving birth.
Life-changing

However, I have trouble finding the PDF she mentions even though it should be in my library after I purchased the title. Anyone else had the same issue?
