Shownotes

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Jennifer Levinson — postpartum doula, Reiki master, and yoga teacher — for a conversation about the sacredness of postpartum care. We explore what it really means to mother the mother, how intuitive healing practices support the nervous system, and why this season deserves so much more reverence, rest, and care.

Jen shares her beautiful journey into doula work, the role Reiki plays in emotional and physical healing, and simple ways new moms can nourish themselves in the early weeks after birth. Whether you’re preparing for motherhood, healing from birth, or holding space for someone else, this conversation is a gentle reminder that you are not alone — and that this chapter is meant to be honored, not rushed.


✨ In this episode, we explore:

  • Postpartum as a spiritual and emotional rite of passage
  • The meaning of mothering the mother
  • How Reiki and yoga nurture healing and balance
  • Simple, soulful self-care practices for new moms
  • Building your village and trusting your intuition
