So you are having a baby!.

Are you prepared for the changes in life after the birth?

After your pregnancy and birth, you might feel a bit off and will want to get back to your “old self”.

At Cycle Wisdom we combine occupational therapy and fertility awareness to provide new mothers with physical, emotional, and educational support.

Our approach helps mothers regain confidence and independence in their new role.

After birth you may:

• need help with daily activities

• want to improve your energy level

• have physical discomfort

• want to learn how to care for your baby

After birth you might:

• find yourself physically straining too much

• feel anxious
