Centering YOU in Beyond Your Birth
Postpartum Support & Recovery Guide
A parent-focused guide to your first 12 weeks postpartum — written by Lydia-Carlie Tilus, CMT, ANMT, CD, CPpD, a Bay Area perinatal wellness practitioner and founder of SageFemme Wellness.
This evidence-informed postpartum recovery guide walks you through physical healing, emotional wellbeing, and practical planning for the fourth trimester. Inside, you'll find a week-by-week recovery overview, perineal and cesarean healing care, pelvic floor recovery guidance, postpartum nutrition and freezer-friendly recipes, a postpartum supply checklist, and tools for building your support village before baby arrives, plus space to create your own personalized postpartum support plan.
Rooted in culturally compassionate, hands-on perinatal care, this guide centers your needs as a new parent, not just your baby's. Whether you're preparing for birth or already in the thick of the fourth trimester, this resource offers grounded, practical support for your body, mind, and spirit.
A trusted companion for new parents navigating recovery, identity shifts, and the realities of life after birth.
