An audiobook guide to help support women through post-partum healing on the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual levels.

This holistic audiobook guide offers practical advice to support women through postpartum healing on the physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual levels--and provides women with a roadmap to this very important transition that can last from a few months to a few years.

Kimberly Ann Johnson draws from her vast professional experience as a doula, postpartum consultant, yoga teacher, body worker, and women's health care advocate, and from the healing traditions of Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, and herbalism--as well as her own personal experience--to cover:

• how you can prepare your body for birth;

• how you can organize yourself and your household for the best possible transition to motherhood;

• simple practices and home remedies to facilitate healing and restore energy;

• how to strengthen relationships and aid the return to sex;

• learning to exercise safely postpartum;

• carrying your baby with comfort;

• exploring the complex and often conflicting emotions that arise postpartum;

and much more.

Absolutely loved this book! I was a little late to the party as I’m almost done my fourth trimester with my second babe, but omg! This was the book I needed before having my first and reading through it now, has helped give me the tools to heal from traumatic parts of that birth.
This book is a tool for soon to be moms AND their partners. So important to have an idea of what fourth trimester (and parenthood) can be and what it can require from you. Wish I had, had this book sooner but grateful for its knowledge now and to be able to pass it on to others ☺️

This book resonated with me in more ways than I can describe. As a mom of a 3 year old, with a newborn in my arms, I was looking for the language to describe my postpartum journey. I felt unsettled with my thoughts and experience; The ups and down and challenges and triumphs. As I listened, it was like Kimberly was reading my mind. This book is real and vulnerable and powerful. Please take the time ❤️ your heart/heart/ and soul won’t regret it.

This book was literally the medicine that my soul needed. I lost my baby girl when I was 5 months pregnant and this book literally saved me in so many ways. The book is full of knowledge and wisdom, but most of all LOVE. Thanks to this book I learned MULTIPLE tools that have been crucial to my healing process. Thank you Kimberly, thank you for walking with me during my recovery and grief.

Wish I read this before birth as I was no way prepared for postpartum recovery. I had no idea how destroyed my body would be and how much rest I needed and how hard it’d be to manage a crying baby, lack of sleep, pain, emotions from hormonal changes etc. I was a crying mess. Some great wisdom here. My recovery didn’t go so smoothly. Only wish she addressed issues like fears around vaginal looseness. Other than that a good start with mentioned specialists if you need further help.
