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 Support

We 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 time
Pregnancy is just a blip in time
But postpartum is forever
You’ll never not be postpartum again”
-Brittany Zeer

Brittany 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.
Details on in-person support for those living in the Calgary/Airdrie area can be found here
 
Brittany also has virtual offerings including prenatal yoga and her intimate group container on cycle awareness, called Blissful Cycles
