When a woman finds out she is pregnant, it is ALL ABOUT BABY. 8+ months of preparation for the birth of this precious new life, with a sprinkle of self care along the way. Once her newborn enters the world, she often becomes immersed in baby's care and development and can lose herself along the way.

But what about Mom? What does her mind need? What does her body need? How does her relationship change? How does her identity change? Who is supporting her? Join Dr. Chelsea and Lisa Westhorpe for this discussion of postpartum preparation, practices for supporting mom, and creating community & honest conversations around "what no one tells you" about the 4th trimester.

Lisa Westhorpe, MSc OT, OTR/L is a masters-level qualified occupational therapist and mama of two based in California with a passion for supporting women during their motherhood journey. Her interest in women's health started after her own (not always positive!) experiences of pregnancy and early motherhood. After experiencing both physical and emotional challenges during pregnancy and the postnatal period, Lisa spent many hours studying how to help and support myself back to feeling well. In addition to courses on perinatal mental health, infant development and time management for busy moms, Lisa gained her qualification as a Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist in 2019, so she can use her knowledge of adapting exercises to help moms return to exercise safely.

In this, our opening episode of the 2nd season of the show, we chat with Dr. Angela Potter about maternal health. Dr. Potter is a leading holistic doctor supporting mothers in their healing process after birth. Her own birth experience with her first child brought her face-to-face with the hardships mothers frequently experience after giving birth. She was amazed at how much pressure is put on mothers and how little support is given for whole-body wellness in this very unique time in a woman’s life. From there she developed her Postpartum Wellness Protocol that she uses with mothers nationally.
