Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m Lauren Tager, a certified postpartum health and wellness professional. My own postpartum journey led me to become certified in postpartum nutrition, somatic nervous system and trauma healing, and postpartum yoga and movement.

When we are pregnant, we have the most doctor visits that we likely have ever had in our lives! There is so much excitement for the baby and we are showered by our friends and family.

Once we have the baby, it can be quite a shock to our systems when that same medical care ends with just one postpartum visit several weeks after birth, we are still healing, we’ve lost so much blood, our hormones are fluctuating, we are sleep deprived, and yet we have all of the external pressure to “bounce back” both physically, mentally, emotionally – to look the same as we did pre-baby, to FEEL the same as we did, to get right back to work.

This is a recipe for depletion, depression, anxiety, burn-out, and so much more. We have normalized this as “common”, but common does not equal normal.

Our western culture has forgotten how to honor this time period in a new mother’s life – we no longer have “the village”, and we have certainly let go of our traditions on how to care for, feed, and nurture mothers.
