Meet the Shems Doula and learn postpartum care strategies that empower mothers to prioritize self-care, seek support, and nurture partnerships to support their newborn.
Explore the postpartum timeline, and the fourth trimester, focusing on rest, healing, bonding with baby, feeding choices, mental health, and preparing support networks.
Explore postnatal physical recovery from shivering and hot flashes to breast engorgement, lochia, rectus abdominis diastasis, and pelvic floor health, with rest, nutrition, and partner support tips.
Explore postpartum mental health, including baby blues, anxiety, depression, and psychosis, and learn practical prevention and treatment strategies like psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Navigate postpartum adjustments, the four-trimester period, by building a support team, pacing the return to activities like fitness, sex, and work, and prioritizing self-care as you learn your new you.
Define a doula and distinguish birth and postpartum doulas, then learn to hire one offering emotional, practical, and educational support on call, without medical duties.
You are a new parent or are expecting a child. Everyone told you about how to care for your newborn but none talked about the physical and mental changes you will go through as a new mother. None prepared you for your tears, your doubts, your mixed feelings towards your baby, your partner, or yourself. You still look and feel pregnant.
This course will not teach you how to take care of your baby - it is not an antenatal course or newborn care class. However, this course is all about the mother. If Mama is nurtured, she will be a nurturing mom.
This course is perfect for every first time parent.
“We are born of Love, Love is our Mother” - Rumi
