THE GOLDEN MONTH – Traditional Chinese Pre + Postpartum Care
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the four to six week period immediately following birth is known as the Golden Month.
The first 4-6 weeks postpartum are an intense but beautiful transition period for both the new mother and baby. This ‘Golden Month’ is considered to be an essential time for the mother to heal and recover from the physical and emotional stresses of pregnancy and birth, and to prepare for life as a mother.
The golden month focuses on putting the new mother’s needs first, with this precious time being put aside solely for rest, nourishment, recovery and bonding between mother and baby in a strongly supported environment. The golden month reflects the core ideals of traditional Chinese medicine, with the goal of restoring harmony in the body to achieve optimal health for both Mother and baby.
We are excited to let you know that Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner Michaela Rinkel will be doing a special talk on the Golden Month at one of our upcoming prenatal yoga classes.
Join us for a beautiful one hour prenatal yoga class, followed by an informative discussion with Michaela about the Golden Month, and how to prepare for this time after birth.
