Training for Professionals
By caring for the mother you indirectly care for the well-being of the baby and the rest of the family unit. One of the most important needs of a newborn mother is healthy and delicious nutrition as well as support with her physical recovery and landing into her changing body. Join this training in order to learn the basics about feeding and caring for the mother inspired by Ayurvedic wisdom and your own innate ability to care for others through your touch.
Postpartum nutrition & Massage Training
This workshop offers a deepdive into the understanding of the nutritional and healing needs of the new mother after she has given birth.
Based on the ancient principles of ayurveda you will gain an understanding of the general state of the body after giving birth. This will help us to understand how best to support her recovery and healing.
We will look at which foods are best to be avoided and which foods are supportive of the healing journey and of the production of milk to feed your baby.
We will have a communal cooking workshop during which we will make a selection of hearty dishes and healthy snacks and drinks to care for the mother.
You will go home with a booklet about Nutritional guidelines and recipes for the postpartum mother to use as you continue to integrate these learnings into your work.
During the second part of this training you will learn about the needs of the postpartum body, the importance of touch and presence and how to give a full body massage without being a professional masseuse.
Sometimes we believe we need to be professional before we are allowed to offer these services. I want to encourage you to trust in your capacity to offer comfort and love to new mothers with your touch at whatever stage you are at in your journey.
It is a great thing to dare to touch lovingly with attention and awareness. While in our cultures we often see massage as a luxury, in non-Western cultures it is a basic offering in maternity recovery.
You will go home with more confidence in your ability to nurture new mothers physically and emotionally.
