While most of the hip around your childbearing journey will be around the birth, in parteria/midwifery care the postpartum period is just as important or more important than the birth itself.  The care the mother receives during her cuarentena- six-week-postpartum period helps support her body's innate healing process in the present time as her body, mind, and spirit are reconnected and made whole again. Additionally, cuarentena postpartum care is preventative medicine which helps avoid ill health in later years, particularly during menopause. Unfortunately in the US postpartum maternal health care is a neglected aspect of women's health care. In the US, hospital birth postpartum care consist of a two night stay in the hospital with one clinical visit six to eight weeks after delivery. Out of hospital providers generally offer 2-4 postpartum visits in a mix of home/clinic visits. The lack of care in the postpartum can translate to less sleep for all, more stress, breastfeeding difficulties, mood/emotional disorders, harder recovery. 

​

The Rhythm Within aims to make a difference in your postpartum regardless of where you gave birth, or the type of birth you had.  As a holistic partera trained in traditional cuarentena care I'm offering a holistic postpartum care package that includes six postpartum visits within six weeks postpartum and on-call service to answer your postpartum related questions.
