Recently, I had a popular post deleted in a large maternal mental health group. 

The basis for this was because my post on postpartum nutrition felt like it was "anti western medicine".

If you are a provider and you're not supporting your clients with at least sharing the significance of nutrient repletion (and therefore emotional and mental support), your clients are missing out considerably.

This doesn’t in any way mean that a provider is not good enough and not valuable enough for all the work they do without nutrition attached. WE NEED COUNSELORS/TRAINED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. They are essential to this conversation. 

AND.... if we as providers are truly going to prevent, assess, and treat PMADs, we must include nutrition (even if it’s a few handouts and a referral).

This episode is for those who feel the same calling I do. For those who believe we must pave a better way when it comes to whole body postpartum care.

In this episode, I am sharing:

• Why providers have an obligation to share the significance of nutrition
• Adding value while staying within your scope of practice
• High rates of deficiency in women after birth and the connection to anxiety and depression
• Root cause care is the only way forward
• Being stuck in awareness mode instead of making actual progress
• Taking better care of our mothers will change the world

Herbal knowledge is built into your DNA.

It is an undeniable truth that herbs have been woven throughout women’s history across every culture.

To truly support whole body healing for women in the years after birth, there has to be a blend of eastern and western approaches to care.

My intention with this postpartum herbs training is to empower you to bring back ancient and intuitive root medicine. When professionals can move past conditioning and fear, the value of women’s stories, experiences, and traditional practices have space to be revealed.

From this place, we can all serve in deeper and more profound ways.

In this episode, I am sharing:

• My 15+ years experience with herbs and herbal remedies
• The modern fear around this ancient healing channel
• How herbs have been a part of women’s history across every culture
• Bringing back one of the largest sought after alternative medicines
• Blending eastern and western care to support whole body healing

The transformational nature of postpartum is not limited to the experience of the mother. Even though it is especially unique to her, the entire family feels its aftershocks - including dads and partners.

The potential for them to experience similar mood disorders and depression is extremely high. For professionals to ignore or make light of this would be an injustice to the women and families we serve.

Peripartum depression in dads must continue to be addressed, researched, recognized, and supported. We’re here in honor of Father’s Day to break down some of the basics behind this growing reality and discuss how we can join together to provide higher levels of support.

In this episode, I am sharing:

• The experience of dads and partners during postpartum
• Defining the difference between peripartum vs postpartum
• 1 out of every 10 dads will experience peripartum depression
• Over 50% of men who have a partner with depression will also experience it themselves
• Unique causes and symptoms for moms vs dads
• Cognitive, emotional, and social impact on children
• The heavy emotional and physical toll of postpartum
• Coming together to provide better support
