How do we support thriving life on earth through the pathway of maternal health? Our physiologic design is the inarguable truth, but in today’s confusing online culture well meaning morality politics often obscure what eons of evolution make clear. If we want to best support babies and their families, do the deep repair work of these times, and become the fully realized adults we were born to be, we must have an accurate understanding of what our biology needs from us.
Learn more about studying in community with Rachelle and exploring true wellness on the childbearing continuum, creating a culture of thriving life, and growing ourselves into the elders we so desperately need in the Innate Postpartum Care Certification Online Training at https://tinyurl.com/1darrj59.
TOPICS:
Social engagement: the lesser-known third branch of the autonomic nervous system (beyond sympathetic and parasympathetic)
Getting out of our conditioned morality and turning to nature/life/evolution as our ultimate teacher
Eating to grow a baby, birth a baby, help the body recover from birth, shift from gestation to lactation, replenish iron stores, and supply the nursling with necessary nutrients
Babies in utero and at the breast literally grow their brains off of their mother’s brains (our bodies will always give our gestating or nursing babies nutrients first- at our expense, if we aren’t getting enough)
Health is multigenerational
The profound lack of emotional and spiritual maturation in modern adults
Be real with yourself and speak your truth, because you’re going to offend people no matter what
“I can’t be triggered if I don’t have something to work on”
Reorienting towards joy and the alchemy of women coming together to exalt life
How lack of community support is toxic for mothers
Keeping in mind the both/and in this time of repair
Healing can only happen when we feel safe
Kids and anxiety in heightened times
