坐月子 I’m so grateful Emily introduced me to the Chinese Sitting Month. Her knowledge, encouragement and experience guided me through post-partum with my fifth baby a few months ago. With my other birth experiences, I would try to get back to “normal” as quickly as possible. But by preparing myself and my family for this special time of rest and excellent nutrition, I was able to help my body heal, and bond with baby boy. Even though I didn’t follow an exact plan for recovery during this time, I was able to tailor my empowering and beautiful experience from Emily’s incredible knowledge of this ancient practice.

I want everybody to know about the 28 day Sitting Month. I have been telling all my friends and I’ve been really vocal about it because I think we need it, especially here in America. We need a support system. We need to ask for help. And we need someone else to step in and help us. And we need to be wiling to receive that help. -

The Chinese Sitting Month gave me the permission to take care of myself, to nurture myself, and to heal myself in ways that I’ve never done before.
