Herbs have been incorporated into pregnancy, labor and postpartum for all of human history. Today we are joined by a beautiful human, Kay'aleya Hunnybee, who is an herbalist and integrative health educator that focuses on perinatal and postpartum timeframes. She joins us today to talk about herbal safety and use in the postpartum period. Herbs carry so many diverse benefits and can be incorporated in a way that feels right for your family.
GUEST SPEAKER:
Kay’aleya is an herbalist and integrative health educator specializing in menstrual, hormonal, sexual and reproductive health. She holds a Masters of Science degree in Therapeutic Herbalism from the Maryland University of Integrative Health, a certification as a Women's Herbal Educator with Aviva Romm, MD, and is currently pursuing certification as a Women's Health Coach with a focus on nutrition through the Integrative Women's Health Institute.
As a trained yoga teacher and an experienced massage therapist with a background as a doula and student midwife, she brings a uniquely integrative lens to her work as an herbalist. She draws on her diverse tapestry of experience to share truly integrative approaches to everything from menstrual cycle support, to breast/chest health, to postpartum care, to navigating the menopausal transition and beyond. She teaches through her weekly podcast, Herbal Womb Wisdom, and her forthcoming online courses, where you can experience her practice of embodied herbalism first-hand.
Her greatest wish is for others to know the healing potential and kinship with the earth and the plants like she does.
