PRESS RELEASE
Powerful Postpartum, Exploring the Spiritual Significance of Early Motherhood
Kelly Van Zandt
“Powerful Postpartum is the maternal spiritual companion that we have all been waiting for.” Amely Greeven, Co-Author The First Forty Days, The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother
Powerful Postpartum is a meditation on early motherhood and invites the reader to explore the time after birth as a moment filled with potential for personal growth and maturation. This work positions motherhood as a catalyst for inner discovery, where a mother embarks on the first and most important step of spiritual growth, “know thyself.”
With shelves filled with how-to guides on infant care and physical recovery, Powerful Postpartum delivers the message that finally recognizes the transformative experience of the mother. Each chapter is carefully created to include nonsectarian spiritual wisdom, opportunities for reflection, and original poetry highlighting the sacred moments of early motherhood. A mother can refer again and again to the approachable chapters as a cradle of soothing peace through the many ups and downs of life after birth.
Often we hear the word "postpartum" and automatically think of depression. Most simply, the word "postpartum" means the time following birth. In combining "postpartum" with "powerful" this book reframes the time after birth as a profound moment in the mother's life.
