Mexican postpartum traditions and rituals have been celebrated for centuries and are dedicated to caring for new mothers with the purpose of uplifting and soothing her body as well as her spirit. The rituals offer a new mother the opportunity to come back to herself, massaging, cleansing, purifying, relaxing and closing her body in a soothing and special way, with gratitude towards her as the source of life that she is.

​Naoli’s Mexican Postpartum workshop is designed for all birth providers, offering understanding on both traditional and contemporary Mexican cosmology regarding the postpartum period as well as an in-depth practical hands-on opportunities to experience, learn and apply the different aspects of this care, as it is practiced in Mexico by rural midwives.

This workshop will prove specially interesting to birth professionals such as midwives, doulas, massage therapists, body workers, childbirth educators and any other person who may wish to offer this special and effective care for women in the postpartum period.

During Naoli's formative years as a young midwife, she apprenticed and worked closely with several elder well-respected rural community midwives in different regions of Mexico. Naoli has always respected and understood traditional midwifery in a way that led her to practice midwifery greatly based on Mexican Traditional ways. From the understanding of herbs, fetal palpation and auscultation modalities, Rebozo birth techniques and other important Mexican traditional midwifery wisdom, to understanding life from its beginnings all the way to the postpartum rituals.

Naoli has always acknowledged and honoured her traditional midwife mentors everywhere she has been, as Traditional Midwives are the mothers of all midwives and could also be considered the grandmothers of Obstetrics, if one is to consider that midwives have been active and alive solving birth challenges and caring for women for centuries before obstetrics appeared as a specialty of medicine.
