The unspoken truth about
the 4th trimester!

If you have made it this far, congratulations on the birth of your baby. Whether you are a first time mother or a seasoned pro, the 4th trimester is REAL! And no easy feat. Each pregnancy, delivery and after birth experience is totally unique. 
 
The 4th trimester is indeed a very crucial period for both new first-time moms and experienced mothers. It is a time of adjustment, challenges, and growth as you navigate/renavigate the early stages of motherhood.
 
The overwhelm, mind fog, random symptoms and non text book experiences can make you feel out of balance. Couple this with a lack of sleep, zero self care, chores and other responsibilities, this is a clear recipe for disaster, in other words Exhaustion!!
 
Mom guilt is also very REAL and this can make mothers feel extremely low and unhappy pretty quickly when things are not in balance. 
 
If you do not have a “support” network or “village” around in these early days, isolation can make things feel really tough. 
 
Fear not, our founder had all four of her children and went through these very experiences. 
 

What can I do to make my 4th trimester easier to manage?

Give yourself credit! You have been pregnant for almost a year, experienced many changes and are now raising a new human. Things are not meant to be perfect right now, they are meant to be organised so that your daily life can become easier to manage.

This entire process is sacred and needs to be celebrated by YOU. The first 40 days are extremely important, both for mother and baby.

How we can help?

  • TO DO LISTS, if something needs to get done make a note of it, if it's on the list, it will get done, doesn't matter how long it takes! This has to declutter your mind.
  • DELEGATE, to whomever you can and free up even 30 minutes to an hour of your time each day.
  • JOURNAL, keep a handy notebook near you at all times and note down things that come to mind. This can help you with your healing.
  • NUTRITION, if you were unable to meal prep before having the baby and are too tired to cook. Hire a private cook or keep hold of nutritious recipes and get the cooking done whenever you can.
  • SELF CARE, aim to complete 1 form of self care each day and build it up gradually as close to your normal daily routine as it once was. Pop some lippy on of it tickles your fancy, do what feels good in the moment!

Above all, remember to take care of your number 1, YOU!, and baby of course. Your mind, body and soul require gentleness and care, seek external support when you need it!

We are highly experienced at supporting mothers with their post partum wellness needs and are highly passionate about it too. We believe that post partum mothers are just as important as those who are pregnant and offer the care and attention that they truly deserve.  Ocean Air Wellness provides a customisable sacred 40 day after birth wellness programme to support mothers who really need it.

What is the sacred 40 day after birth wellness programme?

Our sacred 40 day after birth wellness programme is based on the principles of ancient healing that have been used across the world for centuries. These principles have slowly been forgotten about in the west. Women from across India, China and Mexico still practice after birth wellness. This sacred period involves daily massage, rest, good nutrition and time for bonding with their nowborn baby. They say that when a baby is born, a mother is also born. 

Our founder has fallen victim to many of the realities that postpartum women face during pregnancy, labour and afterbirth and this is why she has designed this unique programme for post partum women. Read more about our founders journey here.

This programme is the very first alternative sacred 40 day after birth wellness programme in the UK. It has taken years of research and has been lovingly designed by our highly experienced alternative health practitioner and founder.

 Once signed up our practitioner will complete a virtual or in person consultation to discuss your wellness needs and additional requirements. This will take place before you give birth to your baby. A risk assessment will be completed and a designated area will be set up in the home so that our practitioner can come and complete sacred wellness treatments daily during this 40 day period.

This programme is designed to:

  • Reduce the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Promote overall healing and relaxation for the new mother
  • Support the body with its natural recovery process
  • Reduce stress, anxiety and overwhelm
  • Help maintain a healthy daily routine for the new mother
  • Improve bonding
  • Improve relationships with the new mother and those around her
  • Improve digestion
  • Improve strength
  • Improve immunity
  • Improve nutrition absorption
  • Boost milk supply for breast feeding mothers
  • Promote wellbeing and ongoing self care following the 40 day period

Mothers who have had a c section delivery may need to obtain consent from their Midwife/GP prior to acceptance on to our programme for full body massage treatments. However, other wellness treatments can be booked instead of full body massage. Please discuss this upon booking. At the end of the 40 day period new mothers have the option to join our exclusive private community group with other new and existing mothers within our community.

This programme is the first and only programme of its kind in the UK. If you or someone you know requires a tailored wellness programme that encourages positive after birth life, then get in touch.
