Most mothers-to-be spend their time and resources preparing for the birth of their baby— but new mothers are so often unaware of the potential realities awaiting during the Fourth Trimester.
Postpartum Doula Katy Collins of Birthways speaks with Nyssa's Mia Clarke regarding her work in the postpartum sphere, including current momentum surrounding the cultural awareness of the postpartum reality, postpartum parties during Colonial times, loss, and art in the context of transformation and transition.
