How it works
Postpartum Plan is built on our unique 5 pillars that encompass the physical and emotional recovery that all new parents need; mindset, movement, nutrition, recovery and reflection. We have all the experts you need – from physios to doulas, breath-work instructors to nutritionists, pilates to sleep consultants – to help you lay the emotional and physical foundation for a lifetime of parenthood. This is our approach. This is our movement.
1)
Mindset
Our emotional health impacts not only our mental state but our physical well-being, in the short and long-term. Invest in your emotional health and you will be amazed at how it affects your physical health, healing and recovery.
This is an often neglected pillar of recovery in all aspects of our life but even more so postpartum. Our Mindset pillar includes an introduction to body and trauma work as well as breath-work and positive psychology workshops.
2)
Movement
Our Movement pillar is all about connecting back to your body, restorative movement and low impact exercises to heal the body from the inside out. It links movement with mental health, empowering you to become aware of your body and honouring its beauty postpartum.
3)
Nutrition
We remove all the noise and confusion around postpartum nutrition with clear and easy recipes from nutritional therapists for every stage of your parenting life. Shopping lists, Q&As and food for recovery are all included.
4)
Recovery
When an athlete injures themselves they get a structured recovery programme; when mothers give birth they leave hospital with a beautiful baby but little else to support their own healing.
Our recovery pillar provides you with the information you need; how to support your body after any birth and how to begin your recovery journey. We also provide exercises from our expert women’s health physio to protect, stabilise and, finally, rehabilitate.
5)
Reflection
As parents we rarely get time to reflect on who we are and what we are doing postpartum. But as Linda Finlay describes, reflective practice is ‘learning through and from experience towards gaining new insights of self and practice’. Reflection leads to self awareness, evaluation leads to evolution, and writing leads to creative release.
