Postpartum Wellness: Preparing for Life after Birth (Age 18+)

April 16 & 30 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm 

This wellness class will help new or repeat parents prepare for a positive postpartum experience. Our society focuses heavily on birth preparation and on the birth experience itself, but birthing people and new families all too often experience the postpartum phase as lonely, overwhelming, and lacking in support. Students will learn how to create a postpartum plan that includes information about local resources, self-care, and even recipes for a deeper understanding of this phase of life before the baby arrives! Students will also explore their views on and fears about the postpartum experience through hands-on writing/drawing/discussion. River’s aim as a postpartum doula is to educate and prepare birthing people/couples in a way that feels enlightening and empowering. All supplies included. Please enter through the 5th Street door.
