EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 4TH TRIMESTER.
The birthing parent and baby remain physiologically connected during the 3 month post-partum period. The wellness of the birthing parent critically affects the well being of the baby.
During this workshop we will discuss ways to bond with your baby beyond feeding and help you gather tools and resources so that you can implement a plan to care for yourself while caring for a newborn.
Class is taught by Erin Young LMT, Doula, CHBE, P&ICD
