Maternal Recovery Program

Akasha Center Maternal Recovery Program

Being a mother poses immense challenges to the body, mind and spirit. This program seeks to offer mothers respite, healing and guidance through what may very well be the hardest things many have ever experienced in life; a child’s first years, breastfeeding troubles, multiple children, conflicting career demands, dealing with adolescents, etc.

The program focuses on two particular aspects of motherhood
A. Postpartum recovery and support of new mothers
B. Maternal Burnout through the life cycle

The program also seeks to integrate new neuroscience on infancy and childhood to help parents provide the best environment to facilitate healthy brain and emotional development in their children.
