The holistic perspective around postnatal recovery that so many women aren't told...
Pregnancy and birth draw upon our energy more than any other time in our life.
If this energy is not replenished we can experience issues later on.
The postnatal recovery is tough.
You are sleep deprived, feeding, addressing your baby's every need, and then after a short 10 minute appointment at 6 weeks, you are told everything is fine. An appointment like this barely touches the sides of how you might be feeling.
Research from UCL and Imperial College London found that around 4 in 10 women had no postnatal check after birth. Other UK studies consistently show that postnatal care is the area women feel least supported in throughout maternity care.
I see this. I see it in myself at times, and in the women who come to my practice.
Women trying to keep going whilst quietly running on empty, and some women are just ignoring their recovery altogether.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the postnatal period is considered one of the most important transitions in a woman’s life. Your recovery matters because what you do now, will stay with you throughout the rest of your life.
The Postnatal Series at The Shiatsu Space is here for you to relax, receive and allow your body to facilitate the healing process.
Your whole body and nervous system are cared for gently and intentionally through safe, hands-on bodywork and breathwork to release physical, mental and emotional tension following pregnancy and birth.
You don't need to explain yourself. What you say will be listened to without judgement. If you feel like you don't have the words right now, that's fine too, because your body and energy will speak to me.
It doesn't matter how many months or years postnatal you are. If this sounds like something you need, I am here to help.
