DID YOU KNOW… that the postpartum period may be one of the most important opportunities we have to influence a woman’s long-term health?
While much attention is given to pregnancy and birth, the weeks and months following delivery often determine how well a mother recovers physically, emotionally, and hormonally. Yet many practitioners receive very little training in postpartum care.
In the Women’s Great Turning Program, Sharon Weizenbaum shares the methods she has developed through decades of working with mothers during the postpartum period. You’ll learn how to assess recovery after birth, support healthy healing, and recognize patterns that may interfere with a mother’s return to strength and balance.
The course explores common postpartum concerns including insufficient lactation, mastitis, postpartum depression, night sweats, weakness, persistent bleeding, failure of the lochia to resolve appropriately, vaginal and cesarean scar healing, and the many subtle ways postpartum physiology can become disrupted. Sharon also discusses how she prepares for labor and birth, including the herbal strategies and clinical tools she has found most valuable when supporting families through this important transition.
Through case studies from Sharon’s own practice, you’ll see how experienced clinicians evaluate postpartum presentations, identify the underlying pattern, and determine treatment strategies that support both immediate recovery and long-term health. The emphasis is always on understanding the physiology first so that treatment follows naturally from the diagnosis.
Students are encouraged to bring questions and postpartum cases from their own practices for discussion. These conversations allow practitioners to learn directly from Sharon, Caroline, and Suzanne while exploring the real-world challenges that arise when caring for mothers and babies.
You’ll also receive exclusive eBooks compiled and translated by Sharon Weizenbaum containing case studies, formula discussions, classical source material, and clinical commentary related to labor, birth, and postpartum care. These materials become part of a growing clinical reference library that practitioners continue to use long after the course has ended.
The postpartum period is not simply a recovery phase. It is a profound physiological turning point. When practitioners understand its importance and know how to support it skillfully, they can make an extraordinary difference in the lives of mothers and their families.
