In this episode of The Slow Postpartum Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant duo behind 360 Mama, Hannah and Emma—two postpartum experts who are transforming the way we support C-section recovery.
We dive deep into what every mother deserves to know about healing after a surgical birth. From rest and scar massage to pelvic floor recovery and emotional wellbeing, this episode is full of essential, practical guidance—whether you’re preparing for a planned C-section or recovering from an unexpected one.
💛 We talk about:
Why rest really matters after a caesarean (even if you feel “fine”)
How to create a nourishing postpartum sanctuary
Why C-section recovery should be included in every birth plan
Gentle movement and diaphragmatic breathing in early recovery
Scar massage: when to start, how to do it, and why it’s so healing
The surprising connection between C-sections, pelvic floor health, and emotional trauma
Recommended products to support healing (scar oils, compression wear, silicone strips, and more)
Their new book: C-Section Recovery: Everything You Need to Know—a resource every new mother deserves
✨ Hannah & Emma write:
“The 360 Mama are a team of postpartum experts who are passionate about improving the lives of mothers after pregnancy and birth… We so frequently heard the phrase ‘I wish somebody had told me this before’ about how to heal properly from pregnancy and birth.”
Their book is like having a postpartum support team in your hands—with clear answers to every question, comforting encouragement, and practical tips that make recovery truly achievable. This is a must-read for new parents, doulas, and birth professionals alike.
I offer in-person and virtual postpartum support packages specifically tailored for C-section mothers. Whether you need scar massage, emotional care, gentle movement, nourishing meals, or simply someone to hold space for your healing—I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Are you a doula or birth professional looking to deepen your skills in Slow Postpartum care? I also offer 1:1 mentoring and coaching to help you bring more rest, nourishment, and sacred support into your client work.
