“Saturn stepped into my home just a day after we got home from the hospital. I was frayed and exhausted, trying to navigate my fears about my newborn getting enough milk and about supplementation. Sleep-deprived and overwhelmed, Saturn met this first-time mama with a calming energy and encouraging words, offering just what was needed to remind me to trust myself and my body’s ability to take care of my baby. Throughout the forty days after birth, Saturn’s care supported my physical healing from a particularly invasive and complex c-section, my grieving process around not having had a vaginal birth, and my process of nurturing and renewing the spirit, of bonding with my baby, and of taking pride in my new identity as a mama. Saturn’s deep reverence for the profound initiatory cycles of birth and motherhood radiates through her presence and approach, helping to establish the postpartum period as a sacred temple in time so that it’s precious gifts can be fully and deeply received.”
