Full description:
After a birth, almost everything is for the baby. This is for the mother.

Three minutes. A few breaths, one simple movement, and a moment back inside her own body. The Postpartum Ritual Deck holds 44 of these practices, made for real life with a baby: no experience, no mat and no spare hour needed. For the fourth trimester and beyond, whether her baby is six weeks or six years old.

She can use them in the moments she already has: while the baby naps, before the house wakes up, standing at the kitchen counter. Some help her slow down and breathe on the days that run on very little sleep. Some gently ease movement into her hips and lower back. Others help her feel strong and steady on her feet again, and more like herself.

The practices have been reviewed by a midwife and a kraamverzorgende.

For yourself or as a gift, in the first weeks and every season of motherhood after.
