Welcome to Venus Traditional Care!
At Venus Traditional Care we provide comprehensive & compassionate care for your fourth trimester.
The fourth trimester includes the three months of healing and integration after giving birth, and it is just as important as the first three trimesters. Within the fourth trimester there is so much opportunity for holistic support that can lead the body back to health and radiance. When we don’t take the time to listen to our unique needs, recovery can take longer than expected.
The postpartum period is globally respected and cared for through different rituals and practices. In India it is known as the Sacred Window. In China, Japan, and Korea it is known as the Confinement period. In Vietnam it is know as Namo, which means lying in a nest. In Mexico and Guatemala it is known as La Cuarentena, which means forty days, and in Afghanistan it is known as Chail which also translates to forty.
As recently as 100 years ago, care for the postpartum period was also implemented by European settlers in America. This practice was known as “lying-in”, which means supporting women as they rest in the months following birth.
“The knowledge of postpartum healing is not new, but unfortunately largely forgotten.
We currently think that what is a necessity is a luxury, its time to reclaim this knowledge for ourselves and each other, so that rather than feeling depleted, frazzled, and frail, women can emerge from the transition to motherhood stronger, happier, and more whole.”
