One of the major things that I have realized that most clients struggle with during the postpartum period besides physically recovering, is the difficulty of "returning into their own bodies" after crossing the threshold of motherhood when giving birth. When a woman becomes a mother, whether for the 1st time or the 5th, every birth is an out-of-body experience. You cross over gateways and plunge into some of the most dynamic aspects of womanhood, and even yourself, that you did not know existed. But the challenge isn't getting to the birthing finish line, the real challenge is, now that your client has crossed over the threshold of motherhood, to help her return to her body before continuing on in her new role as a mother and caretaker which the Universe has called her to be. 

​

You may be wondering, what is the significance of the mother returning into her body before carrying out her duties in her new role? Mothers often experience postpartum depression because of the reality of motherhood hitting them all at once, in a moment that can feel very unsupported and foreign even if this isn't their first child, while being left to "figure everything out" by themselves. For centuries, women have become the caretaker of the family, looked after their mates, mothered their children, and took care of the household, but all from a place outside of themselves. This happens because they were not assisted in returning to their own bodies after giving birth, closing the sacred portal of birth that lies inside of her womb, and being shown how to serve and care for others from her abundance, not from a place of depletion. If we are not attentive to our clients during this postpartum phase and actually help them to properly adjust, they will find themselves in a position where their role as caretaker has passed because the children no longer need her assistance the same amount as before, and the mother is left in a space realizing that she has created and centered her entire life around her children, her family, and essentially everyone else outside of herself.
