Kimberly Johnson - Healing, Balancing and Restoring Post-Childbirth [97]

Hunter talks to Kimberly Johnson about healing, balancing and restoring post-childbirth.

Hunter’s big takeaways from this episode:

1. There are big problems with the way we handle birth and the post-partum period that are leading to long-term problems for moms.
2. We have unrealistic expectations about 4th trimester; healing is slow. We treat it like it’s any other time. We don’t understand that there are specific needs.
3. There are 5 universal needs and these are necessities not luxuries:
4. Rest - deep, extended rest 30-45 days lying in period
5. Nourishing food
6. Loving touch
7. Companionship of wise women
8. Contact with nature
