The Postpartum Starter Kit

Everything you need to begin caring for yourself, in one place.

There is a season after birth that most of us are never told about, a window of roughly six weeks when a mother is as new as her baby and just as deserving of being held. In many traditions this sacred window was set apart and protected, the new mother wrapped and fed and kept warm while the people around her carried the rest of the world for a while.

For the mother preparing for birth... and the mother already inside the tender early days, this is for you

Whether you are still pregnant and want to prepare, or you have just given birth and are figuring it out as you go, this kit was made for you.

It gathers the most essential postpartum tools and practices into one simple, accessible place, so that you can spend less time searching and more time resting, nourishing yourself and settling into this new chapter.

The Postpartum Starter Kit carries that same tending into something you can reach for at three in the morning or during a slow afternoon feed, whether your baby is already here or still growing inside of you.

This is your companion for the first six weeks after birth: the understanding, the practices, and the ancestral bodywork that let you rest while your body finds its way back to itself.

What’s Inside The Kit

A NOTE FROM CRIS

I made this kit because I know how much the early postpartum weeks can ask of you, and how little most of us are handed to meet them.

Everything here is what I wish someone had gathered and placed in my hands, drawn from the traditions that cared for mothers long before us and from my own years walking beside women in exactly this season.

You do not need to piece it together from a hundred open browser tabs, and you do not need to become an expert in your own recovery while you are also learning to feed and soothe a newborn.

However you have arrived, still pregnant and preparing or already deep inside the days and nights of it, this is for you.

Not at all. The most cared-for postpartums are almost always the ones quietly prepared for beforehand, when there is still space to gather what you need and to imagine how you want these weeks to feel. Buying now means everything is ready and waiting the moment your baby arrives.
No. The kit was built for exactly these weeks, and it is designed to be reached for in small moments rather than studied all at once. Start with whatever your body is asking for today, and let the rest be there when you have a hand free.
The moment you purchase, you receive instant access. There is no app to download and nothing to install. Everything opens on your phone, tablet, or laptop, and it is yours to keep and return to whenever you need it.

FAQs

No. It is a single payment, and the kit is yours from then on.
No. The kit is educational and supportive, and it is here to help you understand and tend to your body through the early weeks. It does not replace the care of your midwife, doctor, or other health provider, and a full disclaimer is included inside. If anything ever feels wrong or worrying, please reach out to your care team.
Because of the digital nature of the kit, and the instant access you receive, all sales are final.
