#265 | TAKE THE MIC | BEYOND THE 6 WEEKS OF HEALING | WITH RACHEL BETTINZOLI

Where did we get this idea that six weeks after birth, a woman is completely healed and ready to re-enter the world?

Why do we rush this process, simply checking in how her body is feeling, and even suggesting she is now ready for sex again?

Imagine what would happen if we looked at a mother's becoming as something way beyond the first six weeks, and nourished her with a true acknowledgement of what she has been through and the process of healing and matrescence?

This is what Rachel wanted to share with us all when she took the mic this week.

Rachel Bettinzoli is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and Wellness coach and Mama Rising Facilitator, specialising in women's health and matrescence, and mama to four beautiful children (ages 9, 7, 3 and 1).

She supports women through the cycles of motherhood with gentle and intuitive movement and simple strategies that support our whole-self, body, mind and soul. Helping women reconnect and regain confidence and strength in their bodies and redefine what health and motherhood means for them and their family.

She also has a background in dance and clinical Pilates, has studied the psychology of nutrition and behaviour change. She has a professional wellness coach certification and is an International Coaching Federation (ICF) MamaRising Facilitator.

And with FOUR experiences of becoming a mother, plus all the hours of supporting mothers in her work, she sees the possibility of doing it a very different way.
