Laura Walker
Herablist and Full-Spectrum Doula
Postpartum healing isn’t just about navigating the physical changes the body underwent throughout pregnancy and birth, it’s also about recovering mentally and emotionally. Too often we focus on only one part of our health, forgetting that our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing are intricately linked. In this workshop we’ll discuss holistic postpartum care that focuses on the whole body with the support of herbal allies. From warming foods and healing teas, to rejuvenating herbal baths, plants assist with rebalancing the mind, body and spirit. But most importantly, working with herbs pushes us to pause and check-in with ourselves, to support our bodies with intention. We’ll discuss how to work in partnership with plants, infusing postpartum care with intention and calming practices that support mental, physical, and emotional wellness.

Samirah Brogdon
Certified Lactation Consultant & Full-Spectrum Doula
Often times when when a baby is born, the birthing parent pours their all into taking care of their newborn and they forget about themselves. It is so important to nurture yourself while you nurture your baby, especially when providing human milk. We will talk about support that is needed during the lactation journey and ways to care for yourself as you feed your baby. Providing human milk is an amazing gift, it is also hard work, time consuming, and sometimes as exhausting as it is rewarding. Let's talk about nurturing you both!
