S01 E03: Emotional Recovery & Wellbeing with Valentine Gardener

This week I’m speaking with Valentine Gardener, a certified Hypnobirthing and Postnatal Wellbeing Practitioner, who supports women in pregnancy through to the 4th trimester. Valentine is a mother of two and is passionate about helping women feel positive, informed and confident about birth and the postnatal period.

In this episode, we speak about the lack of support for post-partum mothers and for mothers who are about to give birth, as well as how we can make a difference in the way birth is portrayed. She speaks on the common thoughts and feelings people experience after birth and why it’s so beneficial to seek help and allow yourself to spend time caring for yourself. Valentine offers simple, yet effective tools and techniques for dealing with anxiety, loneliness, worry, overwhelm, and exhaustion during your 4th trimester.
