After giving birth and becoming a mother, it’s like your brain is a filing cabinet that has been emptied out completely.
This is grounded in science too, not just a metaphor.
Your neuroplasticity actually increases during pregnancy and after birth and unused pathways are trimmed so you can adapt to your new role of motherhood, enhancing your ability to learn, grow and bond with your baby.
Many ancient cultures understand this.
That’s why they honour, celebrate and support mothers and don’t just hold the baby. They hold the mother too.
They fill her with love, ceremony and respect which helps her to feel valued, confident and supported as a woman, mother and village member, which ripples through her, the baby and future ancestors.
However, many mothers in modern society aren’t supported, honoured or valued and often feel overwhelmed, anxious and isolated.
Their brains are being wired with stress, low self worth and lack of purpose, which can have long-term effects in years to come - even once the kids have left the nest!
What was your brain wired with when you first became a mother, whether it was your first time or fifth?
Maybe you were in an oxytocin bubble of bliss! Maybe you were, but someone or something burst it. Or maybe a blissful bubble never existed right from the start.
If you feel you weren’t honoured as you should have been, a Womb Hara massage culminating in a feminine soul retrieval can be a beautiful way to initiate healing, closure and rebirth as a mother.
Feel held and experience an oxytocin bubble of bliss like Mother Nature intended - Even if it’s 20 years later!
This can also be a special gift for a friend, family member or colleague!

P.S. pics of us are in the newborn phase but the postpartum period can last up to five years (not 6 weeks) and postpartum depression can peak at four years.
