À propos de cet audio

A guide to help support women through post-partum healing on the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual levels.

This holistic guide offers practical advice to support women through postpartum healing on the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual levels - and provides women with a roadmap to this very important transition that can last from a few months to a few years.

Kimberly Ann Johnson draws from her vast professional experience as a doula, postpartum consultant, yoga teacher, body worker, and women's health care advocate, and from the healing traditions of Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and herbalism - as well as her own personal experience - to cover:

  • how you can prepare your body for birth;
  • how you can organize yourself and your household for the best possible transition to motherhood;
  • simple practices and home remedies to facilitate healing and restore energy;
  • how to strengthen relationships and aid the return to sex;
  • learning to exercise safely postpartum;
  • carrying your baby with comfort;
  • exploring the complex and often conflicting emotions that arise postpartum;
  • and much more.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Absolutely loved this book! I was a little late to the party as I’m almost done my fourth trimester with my second babe, but omg! This was the book I needed before having my first and reading through it now, has helped give me the tools to heal from traumatic parts of that birth.
This book is a tool for soon to be moms AND their partners. So important to have an idea of what fourth trimester (and parenthood) can be and what it can require from you. Wish I had, had this book sooner but grateful for its knowledge now and to be able to pass it on to others ☺️

Must read!

This book resonated with me in more ways than I can describe. As a mom of a 3 year old, with a newborn in my arms, I was looking for the language to describe my postpartum journey. I felt unsettled with my thoughts and experience; The ups and down and challenges and triumphs. As I listened, it was like Kimberly was reading my mind. This book is real and vulnerable and powerful. Please take the time ❤️ your heart/heart/ and soul won’t regret it.

This book was literally the medicine that my soul needed. I lost my baby girl when I was 5 months pregnant and this book literally saved me in so many ways. The book is full of knowledge and wisdom, but most of all LOVE. Thanks to this book I learned MULTIPLE tools that have been crucial to my healing process. Thank you Kimberly, thank you for walking with me during my recovery and grief.

Wish I read this before birth as I was no way prepared for postpartum recovery. I had no idea how destroyed my body would be and how much rest I needed and how hard it’d be to manage a crying baby, lack of sleep, pain, emotions from hormonal changes etc. I was a crying mess. Some great wisdom here. My recovery didn’t go so smoothly. Only wish she addressed issues like fears around vaginal looseness. Other than that a good start with mentioned specialists if you need further help.

I just couldn’t get past all the woo in this book. Go talk to your other mom friends. Join a mom group on Facebook. Heck talk to your own mom. All of the info in here can be gathered from much less annoying places.

New mom to be? Don’t bother with this one.

Firstly, the narration was hard for me to listen to. The author somewhat has the voice, cadence, and pacing of an 8th grader reading a book report. I don't mean that to be offensive, it's just how it came across to me personally. That aside, the book was very repetitious, and felt a bit narcissistic. It catered more to people that are more spiritually inclined, especially leaning towards eastern, and Ayurvedic medicine and practices. A lot of emphasis put on post natal care for the mother, while sounding wonderful, is not accessible for everyone. Many people do not have the familial suppourt, or financial excess to hire doulas, pelvic floor care specialists, and a masseuse. I was hoping more for grounded 4th trimester help for the general population. I appreciate that the author would certainly have connected with many people, just not my cup of ancient herbs hand picked by monks from sacred grounds on a mountain.

Not as helpful as I'd hoped

My overall take away is that the author was living a very self-centred, woo-woo, idealistic lifestyle and her birthing and postpartum experience did not align with her imagined version of events. I had trouble sussing out actual applicable advice amongst the anecdotes.
