S2:Ep1 Pelvic Steaming with postpartum doula Jenny Smith-Nicol
In this episode Suzanne speaks to postpartum doula Jenny Smith-Nicol about pelvic steaming.
Pelvic steaming - or yoni steaming, vaginal steaming - is practised worldwide by women for reproductive health and is now being rediscovered in the West. Steaming helps gently cleanse the womb to help with menstrual problems, or to be used postpartum for better healing.
S1:EP1 Postpartum Care Traditions with Jenny Smith-Nicol
This episode is a discussion with Jenny Smith-Nicol on traditional postpartum care traditions and how we can implement them into our lives. Jenny and Suzanne discuss proper nourishment during pregnancy and the postpartum period and the need for deep rest following the birth in order to avoid depletion and long-term health issues. The link between postpartum care and women's health and wellbeing is often disregarded in our western society and women are left unsupported and simply trying to survive what is actually a sacred time for both mother and baby. We discuss the western culture's disconnection with honouring this sacredness and how we can begin to change our norms to better appreciate and feel healthy and joyful in the postpartum time.
