Dig The Well - A Prenatal Workshop for Postpartum Wellbeing

SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2026

10am-3pm

(with a 1 hr lunch break)

LOCATION in SOUTH/CENTRAL AUSTIN, TBD

Prepare for postpartum like the sacred transition it is.

Most people spend their whole pregnancy preparing for birth…which lasts hours or days…but very little time or energy preparing for what comes after—the rest of your life (aka: postpartum).

The postpartum period isn’t just about caring for a newborn. It’s about centering and caring for a new mother who is healing physically, adjusting emotionally, and stepping into a profound life transition.

When we prepare ahead of time, we create:

  • more rest and recovery

  • more confidence and trust in your body and intuition

  • more support and less overwhelm

  • a gentler transition into parenthood

This is what it means to dig the well before you’re thirsty..

What we’ll explore together

In this workshop, we’ll gently walk through:

Postpartum Care Foundations

  • The first 42 days / The fourth trimester

  • Rest, warmth, nourishment, and recovery

  • protecting the mother

  • Your partner’s unique roles in postpartum

  • How to ask for help & set clear boundaries

Practical Preparation
