Self-Care for New Moms: Thriving Through Your Postpartum Year

The role of motherhood is one where women are continuously asked to focus on the needs of everyone else but themselves. This is a significant issue in the arena of self-care, where we often ignore our own hunger, energy levels, and emotions in the pursuit of taking care of others.

Written from the perspectives of both therapist and busy mom, Self-Care for New Moms features several eye-opening exercises, interviews from a village of experts (who also happen to be moms), and helpful interventions to help you get through the chronic depletion common to the postpartum year.

Self-care strategies include:

• Exercise and yoga
• Pelvic floor recovery work
• Psychotherapy
• Self-compassion techniques
• Complementary and alternative methods (massage, chiropractic, or acupuncture)
• Simple recipes
• Methods for reconnecting with your partner
• And so much more
