In this episode Jojo Hogan, Postpartum doula and founder of the Slow Postpartum movement introduces the concept of slowing down and honouring the first few weeks following the birth of a baby as a time of potent and powerful transformation for a new mother.
She gives a background to her experience in caring for new mothers and babies over the past twenty years and her path from pregnancy spa owner to postpartum doula and mentor as she realised that many new mothers were suffering from neglect, loneliness and isolation following the birth of there babies.
