Lori Bean and Alyssa Rabin welcome Jadine Hertz - Yoga Instructor, Birth Worker & Intuitive Life Coach - and Dr. Megan Mankow - Acupuncturist & Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine - to the podcast to talk about all the ways new mothers can seek holistic care through pregnancy and postnatal healing.Jadine and Dr. Megan discuss all the pressures moms feel after birth, from when to return to sex to breastfeeding to postpartum depression. They detail how each of their areas of expertise can help women navigate the expectations placed on them as mothers and assist in building support and a community to connect with. Lori and Alyssa share stories from their own pregnancy and postnatal experiences and express how a community like the one they are building at Maliya would have been beneficial.Dr. Megan introduces the philosophy of zuò yuè zi, which translates roughly to 'sitting the moon', from Chinese medicine, which encourages 40 days of rest and bonding for new mothers. She explains that while this can’t often be done for 40 days, the idea of self care for mothers is vital. Jadine explains the ways in which pregnancy yoga is designed specifically to support the changes in bodies as they expand for the baby, and details why it’s so important to seek specific pregnancy and postnatal care. The women are very focused on creating a strong community of acupuncture, yoga, mums, and core support for all stages of birth.About Jadine Hertz:Jadine Hertz is an intuitive soul coach and yoga instructor who founded Jade Tree Healing. She began yoga with hopes that the practice would help her heal the panic attacks she was suffering from. When yoga did help heal the panic attacks, she became passionate about wellbeing and the benefits of yoga and dreamed of one day sharing the benefits with others.At the age of 19 Jadine found the courage to backpack Bali & Australia on her own. She continued her connection with holistic modalities by dabbling in different styles of yoga, meditation, and energy healing in the various locations she visited.After her “walkabout”, Jadine knew that she wanted to spend most of her time supporting women with their wellbeing. In 2017 she became accredited after taking a 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training through the Canadian Yoga Alliance. She started my own business as a Yoga Instructor and Holistic Therapist in the United Kingdom. Jadine is a gentle and nurturing instructor who guides you into awareness of your body and energy as you move on your mat.Many of her connections were supporting pregnant women and women going through IVF, as she collaborated with a Fertility Acupuncturist. From those connections she was inspired to support clients on a deeper level, which led her to sign up for the 85 hour Prenatal & Postnatal yoga teacher training. Since launching her Prenatal Yoga Program, Jadine has supported numerous women with their pregnancies and child birth preparation.About Dr. Megan Mankow:Megan Mankow completed her schooling at the Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Calgary, AB. She learned about the many aspects that contribute to health while earning the title of Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Registered Acupuncturist. She has always had a passion for healthcare and helping people feel their best, most aligned self.Megan gravitates to helping people in areas of their life that are often left in the shadows such as sexual, mental and digestive well-being.
