Innate Traditions postpartum care is based on the physiology required for long term health for postnatal people, supporting the dyad between birth parent, baby & family culture.

Postpartum care is not a luxury but ancient humxn tradition standard practice.

How is INNATE TRADITIONS postpartum care different?

This work emphasizes the need to prioritize postpartum care focusing on folk medicine principles:::

  • extended resting period :: nourishes long term pelvic & hormonal health

  • warming foods ~ warm in nature, simple to digest, nutrient rich food :: during pregnancy & birth digestion is altered. Certain foods refuel & thrive.

  • bodywork :: accesses rest, digest, restore state, boosts birth parent’s immunity. Gives to birth parent, & birth parent has resource to give to babe more freely

  • warmth :: supports oxytocin production, allowing our tissues to expand, in turn assisting blood & lymph flow

  • community :: when birth parent is surrounded by ones they love, resonate with their nervous system is calm/ they feel safe, allowing the processes of healing, bonding & attachment to unfold with ease.

One of the ways we can best give care for our future generations is to optimally support birth parents. When birth parents are well nourished they are most equipped to give energy to their babies. Postpartum care builds a foundation where birth parents are empowered to thrive, positively impacting family culture & whole community.

Simple Truths unveiled by my teacher, Rachelle Seliga Garcia;
"Proper PHYSICAL CARE in the postpartum period (and in general!), supports our Endocrine System, our Nervous System and our Neurological Systems. In other words: Proper physical care lends to EMOTIONAL HEALTH.
•
And Likewise, when our EMOTIONAL NEEDS are met—receiving the security, attention, connection, community, acknowledgement that we need, our Immune System and Cardiovascular System are positively affected.

In other words: Tending to our Emotional Health creates Physical Health."
