FOURTH TRIMESTER
Postpartum Preparation & Care
What is the fourth trimester?
Does it require preparation?
The fourth trimester is the three-month period that immediately follows the birth of your baby. It is a time when your family adjusts to a new life together. From learning to feed, caring for your baby, and meeting your own needs, the fourth trimester requires as much preparation, if not more, as the birth.
​
Set yourself up to thrive by setting realistic expectations and establishing a support network. This is a period in your life where your village is more important than ever!
It's a common misunderstanding that a birth education class is the only class you should take before having a baby. We disagree.
​
Taking at least one postpartum preparation class can go a long way to making the fourth trimester attachment-focused and less stressful.
​
Learn ahead of time to breastfeed (it's not as intuitive as it seems), and spend time learning about meal planning, and how to share parenting responsibilities.

Nourishing Baby & Yourself
Comprehensive Infant Feeding Course
Crafted for birthing persons, this workshop is a sacred space that delves into mindfulness-infused storytelling and trauma-informed yoga-infused writing.
Carefully designed to incorporate the mind-body connection, this workshop embraces the postpartum period (at any stage) by combining storytelling with gentle body movement. Whether you are in the first weeks, months, years, or even decades of your postpartum and parenting journey, this session will use a variety of writing prompts to spark and help recall your birthing experience.
Participants will explore birth story reflections through journal prompts, sharing and listening to others in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. This is a safe space to share, feel supported, and reflect on a time that may not have been documented as desired in the moment or that you wish to explore further. By the end of this session, you will have reflected on multiple components of your birth story, including environment, support and companionship, physical sensations and mental state, the moment of birth, and early postpartum.
