Wise Traditions: Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Prep 

A three part workshop where Ancient wisdom meets modern evidence to help you prepare for conception, birth and postpartum with confidence

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your baby's health started before you even conceived?

We live in a modern world but our bodies still run on ancient wisdom. The way we prepare for conception, navigate birth and recover postpartum has been understood by traditional cultures for thousands of years. And now modern science is catching up, confirming what our ancestors always knew.

The problem is that most women enter pregnancy already depleted. They give birth without truly preparing their body. And they emerge from the postpartum period more exhausted, more depleted and more overwhelmed than when they went in because nobody taught them what they actually needed to know.

The Wise Traditions Series was created to change that.

Workshop 01 — Wise Traditions Preconception Care

An East Meets West Approach to Preparing Your Body for Conception Using Herbal Medicine, Nutrition and Traditional Practices

Most women focus on fertility but preconception care is about so much more than conception. It is about preparing the healthiest possible foundation for your baby before they even exist. The decisions you make in the months before conception will influence your baby's health for life.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • Why preconception nutrition matters more than pregnancy nutrition
  • The key nutrients for egg quality, hormone balance and a healthy conception

  • How to reduce your toxic load before conception
  • What tests to check before you try to conceive
  • A practical preconception nutrition and supplement protocol

Workshop 02 — Wise Traditions Birth Preparation

Naturopathic and herbal preparation for the birth experience

Birth is one of the most significant physical events a woman's body will ever undergo. Yet most birth preparation focuses on the mental and emotional experience with very little attention is paid to how to prepare your body physically and nutritionally for the event itself.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • Nutritional preparation for birth
  • The evidence behind dates, evening primrose, raspberry leaf tea and other traditional birth preparation practices
  • Herbal support for labour preparation
  • Perineal preparation to prevent tearing
  • How to nourish yourself during labour
  • What to prepare in advance for an optimal birth experience

Workshop 03 — Wise Traditions Postpartum Preparation

Nourishing and preparing for the fourth trimester before baby arrives

The postpartum period s known in many traditions as the sacred window. It is one of the most undervalued and underserved periods in a woman's life. How you are nourished and supported in the weeks and months after birth will shape your physical and emotional recovery for years to come.

In this workshop you will learn:

  • The concept of the sacred window including what traditional cultures understood about postpartum recovery
  • Postpartum nutrition including the most important foods and nutrients for recovery and breastfeeding
  • Herbal medicine for postpartum recovery, milk supply and mood support
  • Understanding and preventing postnatal depletion
  • How to prepare your postpartum pantry before baby arrives

“The wise traditions birth preparations workshop was just what I needed. It gave me a simple sense of direction on what I could do to support my body and myself mentally in preparation for birth. We can get so caught up in the array of medical appointments and societal norms of preparing for birth, and this course has grounded me back to my body and my baby. Thanks Kate”

I did the birth prep course in one go, it was that full of amazing info!!! Even though I have many years of experience in the pregnancy and birth realm, I learnt so much about natural ways to support the body to function optimally for birth. I’d never heard of many things mentioned and I will 100% be putting into practice what I’ve learnt through this course. I can’t wait to start getting my body prepped on an even deeper level.

‘’I've been following Kate's work since before my first baby was conceived and now midway through my second pregnancy I've completed her traditional birth prep workshop. I definitely learnt a few things I already thought I knew! So refreshing to see her knowledge is backed up by relevant studies and research. I'll definitely be implementing a fair few of these practices as my pregnancy progresses to help relieve stress and help me connect with my body and baby. Thank you Kate for always being a great source of information for mothers.’

This is my third pregnancy, and I took away so much from this course. After experiencing mastitis with my last two, I feel so much more confident this time around. I’ve learned how to better support my body with the right herbs and nutrition, and that knowledge alone has made a huge difference already!

Kate's post partum workshop is an absolute essential for post partum care and recovery. As a Naturopath and first time mum to be, I found the information provided to be incredibly thorough and will refer to the advice both personally and with my clients. The workshop is a really accessible way for anyone to understand the importance of being prepared with post partum essentials and what kind of food, supplements, herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies and other supplies to stock your homes with. The information provided allows you to be prepared for a range of situations - whether that be general post partum recovery, reducing excess bleeding, recovery from a c-section, supporting milk supply, mood and mastitis and colic remedies. Thank you Kate for this invaluable resource.

Now about to dive into my third pre conception care, this work shop has come at a perfect time. So great to know her work is evidence based, and the history of pre conception care is fascinating. Kate has researched a huge amount of information and made a concise, easy to learn presentation. I’ve really enjoyed learning about the big picture of pre conception care and why it’s so important''

''I am currently planning for my third baby and absolutely loved Kate’s Pre Conception Care Workshop. As someone who took over 12 months to conceive my second baby, I wanted to go into this third conception journey feeling more prepared so I know I’m supporting my body best during this time and optimising my fertility. This workshop is jam packed with so much helpful, practical information that I’m excited to implement into my daily routine, and share with my partner. I love the way that Kate shares both traditional and modern methods and practices that are backed up by evidence, and provides really clear additional resources to help take the information and actually apply it. I’m so happy knowing I’m going into this next phase of motherhood fully supporting my body with exactly what it needs during this time.''

Both In-depth knowledge & simple daily practices are included and I can’t wait to implement these into my life! I highly recommend this workshop to everyone hoping to conceive in the future.
