Her post natal visit was invaluable - having a baby for the first time is full of unknowns and it helped having someone to check in on the baby but more so on me and my mental well-being. "- Natasha Mom of 2
Postpartum Ceremony
Across the globe communities honor the first 40 days, 60 days, or even years after birth in very sacred and unique ways. With a common theme of honoring and caring for the mother and child to achieve optimum health in mind, body and spirit for both people and the family as a whole. Below you will find a postpartum ritual inspired by multiple cultures, and traditions. I give the utmost respect to the people and lineage of these wise ancestral teachings. I learned this ceremony from Nubia Martin, a traditional Midwife in Yonkers, NY and founder of Birth from The Earth & Earth Groundz.

1.Cleansing Herbal Bath
