Today’s guest is Jojo Hogan, a maternal postpartum care specialist, doula coach and founder of the Slow Postpartum Movement; an international movement that educates and inspires as to the importance of the weeks following birth. She believes that the postpartum period is a time when new mothers, parents and families need and deserve to be nurtured, supported and celebrated so that they are able to offer the same to their new babies.
In today’s talk we discuss what a positive postpartum experience requires and the importance of preparing for this during pregnancy. Jojo shares the five pillars of postpartum care that are an embedded part of how all new mamas are cared for by many indigenous populations from around the world, and she offers tools and insights into how we can incorporate these valuable teachings into our Western postpartum care.
This is such an important listen for any parents-to-be and anyone who works with postpartum families. Here’s Jojo, sharing with us how to put the love drug, oxytocin, back into the postpartum experience.
