Planning for Postpartum

About the Event

The postpartum period is one of the most transformative—and often overlooked—times in the parenting journey. While so much focus is placed on preparing for birth, many families enter the first weeks after baby arrives without the support, knowledge, or systems they truly need. This workshop is designed to gently guide you in preparing for the realities of postpartum life—so you can move through those early weeks feeling more supported, nourished, and grounded. Together, we’ll explore what to expect physically, emotionally, and practically after birth, including: The natural rhythms of newborn life and early feeding Physical recovery and the body’s healing process Postpartum emotions, identity shifts, and mental health Nourishment for healing and sustaining your body Newborn sleep patterns and realistic expectations The importance of rest—and how to actually make it possible We’ll also focus on something often missing in modern parenting culture: building your village. You’ll be guided in creating a personalized postpartum support plan, including: Identifying your inner circle and care team Setting boundaries and communicating your needs Preparing your home and daily rhythms for ease Organizing meals, rest, and hands-on support Learning to trust your intuition as a parent Partners are always encouraged to join!
