Whether you’re currently pregnant and preparing for the postpartum period, or currently there, your health is of value and a priority. We oftentimes focus on the health of babies during this time, rightfully so, but your health is just as important. Join us in empowering expecting and current moms through their postpartum journey, taking time to recognize aspects of both physical and mental health.
The postpartum period is full of emotional highs and lows, adjusting to a new stage of life. During this period, it is important to find time to prioritize the health of moms, both physically and mentally. Nourish & Renew is a FREE postpartum wellness class designed specifically to meet those needs.
Guiding Star intern, Caitlyn Rochford, and Danielle Martens, Client Care Coordinator, have designed this class specifically for moms and ensuring they take time to care for themselves. The class will begin with education regarding postpartum physical health, specifically related to pelvic floor health. Information within this topic has been gathered from Kalais Slaubaugh PT, DPT from Rock Valley Physical Therapy. The second portion will focus on postpartum mental health through a guided discussion facilitated by Katie Schmitz, LISW. We will discuss the importance of managing mental health during this period and how a community of support can make a world of difference.
We hope you are able to join us for Nourish & Renew: A Postpartum Wellness Class! We will offer two sessions of this class, Tuesday, July 22nd from 6:00-8:00 pm and Friday, July 25th from 9:30-11:00 am. Feel free to also bring a support person, husband, or anyone that would make the space more welcoming for you. Guiding Star Cedar Valley is located at 220 Southbrooke Drive, Waterloo, IA 50702.
