Postnatal Recovery
Nuru memberPostnatal recovery encompasses healing practices that support new mothers in the weeks, months, and sometimes years after birth. This includes physical recovery from birth, emotional processing, hormonal rebalancing, and reconnection with the self beyond motherhood.
Cultural origin
The postnatal period has been honoured as sacred across cultures worldwide — from the 40-day rest tradition in Middle Eastern and Asian cultures, to the cuarentena in Latin America, to African traditions of communal postnatal care.
What a session involves
Sessions vary by modality and may include postnatal massage, yoga, pelvic floor therapy, energy healing, nutritional support, or talking therapy. All postnatal practitioners on Tera are trained to support the specific needs of new mothers.
Who it's for
Women in the postnatal period — from immediately after birth through the first year and beyond. It is never too late to seek postnatal support.
