Yet postnatal recovery (or a lack of it) can have consequences for the long-term health and wellbeing of both mother and baby. In Why Postnatal Recovery Matters Sophie Messager draws on her experience as a scientist and doula to show that thinking ahead to after the birth can get new families off to the best possible start.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSophie left her native France in 1997 to pursue postdoctoral studies as a biology research scientist, in Aberdeen. The positive births of both her children changed her professional interest completely. She retrained to be an antenatal teacher and babywearing instructor. Sophie is a birth geek and knowledge junkie but has a more spiritual side too, she is a trained Reiki healer \u0026amp; teacher and a Reiki drum practitioner. Her many skills include massage, rebozo, birth \u0026amp; postnatal healing rituals.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pinter \u0026 Martin Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50444643139858,"sku":"9781780666259","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d726316a-c72f-45e2-9416-246cf419404a.jpg?v=1729686082","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/why-postnatal-recovery-matters-9781780666259","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
