At Intentionally Postpartum, we name what most overlook: postpartum is not a phase to power through — it’s a portal. One of the most potent rites of passage a woman will ever experience. Done right, it’s a season that rebuilds the body, rewires the mind, and reshapes the self.

We don’t patch holes. We rebuild from the foundation up — using the tools Classical Chinese Medicine has offered for centuries: nourishment, herbs, emotional repair, and ritual.

You don’t need more noise. You need restoration that changes you.

Our Four-Part Philosophy

🥣 Nutrition as Foundation

Postpartum depletion isn’t mysterious. It’s predictable — biological, hormonal, and made worse by modern pace. We begin by rebuilding Blood, Qi, and Yin through a nutrient-dense, animal-based diet.

Meals are simple and medicinal: slow-cooked meats, rich broths, warming fats, soft eggs. We remove what inflames. We add what replenishes.

Food is not a trend. It’s your first medicine.

🌿 Herbalism as Precision Medicine

We don’t guess — we read the pattern. From prolonged bleeding to emotional volatility, we use Classical Chinese herbal formulas to meet the body’s moment-to-moment needs.

Foundational formulas like Si Wu Tang and Gui Pi Pian restore the interior. Gentle herbs like chrysanthemum and chen pi fine-tune the system. Every recommendation is precise, personal, and rooted in your lived experience.

You won’t be tossed a protocol. We listen. We adjust. We walk with you.

🧠 Mindset as Rewriting the Story

Transformation requires clarity — not cheerleading. We guide you in scripting the vision of who you’re becoming, not returning to who you were.

Through honest reflection and daily journaling, we help you identify what’s outdated, what’s possible, and what’s next. Not for performance — for embodiment.

Your thoughts shape your physiology. Let’s make them part of your healing.

🌙 Self-Care as Embodied Practice

This isn’t spa-day self-care. This is candlelit bathing to settle your Shen. Bare feet on grass to anchor the Yang. Stepping out of chaos to restore the quiet center.

Together, we identify the practices that recalibrate you — and the ones that don’t. No fluff. Just medicine in daily form.

You are not fragile. You are worthy of gentleness.

Our Process

Whether you’re in a single session or inside a deeper healing container, we begin where you are.

Your food is assessed. Your cycle is observed. Your symptoms are tracked. Your story is honored.

From there, we build — not to “optimize” you, but to root you.

We don’t walk ahead of you. We walk with you.

You are rebuilding.

And we’re rebuilding with you.

This is the postpartum you were meant to have.

Intentional. Sacred. Fully supported.
