Preparing for the Fourth Trimester
A Postpartum Planning Workshop for Expectant Mothers & Their Village
Where ancient wisdom meets practical preparation
Saturday, August 29th 10-12:30 pm
Evolutionary Psychotherapy + Holistic Healing - Kingston
Postpartum is a sacred window, not a syndrome.
While we spend months preparing for birth, few of us are taught how to prepare for the weeks and months that follow.
The postpartum period is designed to be a time of nourishment, healing, and deep transformation. But this doesn’t happen by chance. It is created through care, intention, and community.
Many mothers enter postpartum without:
A plan for rest and recovery
The nourishment their healing bodies need
Enough support around them
Understanding of the physical and emotional changes taking place
A village prepared to care for them, too
This workshop is an invitation to prepare differently.
Together, we’ll explore postpartum as a transformative threshold and create a plan rooted in warmth, nourishment, support, and deep care.
What We’ll Explore:
The postpartum window
What happens physically, emotionally, and energetically after birth
Why mothers need care, not just instructions
Postpartum as a rite of passage into motherhood
The foundations of postpartum care
Rest + retreat
Nourishment + healing foods
Warmth + body care
Community support + receiving help
Creating your postpartum plan
Building your village
Preparing your home
Setting boundaries and asking for support
Identifying what will help you feel truly cared for
You Will Leave With:
A clear postpartum care plan
Practical tools for nourishment, rest, and recovery
A deeper understanding of postpartum as a transformative threshold
Guidance for creating your postpartum village
A comprehensive Postpartum Planning Guide with recipes, resources, and checklists
This Workshop Is For You If:
You’re pregnant and feeling overwhelmed by where to begin
You want to prepare for postpartum with intention

You want to feel supported as you step into motherhood
"May we give thanks to the MOTHERS, for it is through the vulnerable bodies of MOTHERS that humanity is being alerted to the urgency of our collective need for change."
