GIFT GUIDE FOR NEW MAMAS January 15 2020

"Becoming a mother is a transformative event, just like puberty." Now with the pandemic, but even before that, postpartum can be isolating time for women. That's why we thought to share some tips from my teacher Kelsi. Her practice focuses on nourishing and caring for new mothers and mothers to be and we're happy to share her knowledge and experience with you.

Here are some of her tips:

+ ask her how is she feeling. It may comes as a no brainer but how often do we forget to ask each other this?!

+ cook her something she loves or drop off her favorite takeout

+ ask her if you can come over and help her with laundry, washing dishes or babysit so she can have a moment for herself

+ massage her hands or neck or feet. A gentle touch with a dose of love and care will certainly brighten her day.

+ encourage her and tell her she's doing a great job
