Alondra Sanchez (she/her) is a labor and postpartum companion who devotes herself to whole family wellness. She believes in a slow and gentle way of life by practicing things like urban homesteading, sustainable living, organic nourishment, and deep self and community care. Her Mexican Indigenous roots led her to hold a village-centered method of life; that she believes will bring her home to a life of happiness and fulfillment.
In this episode, Emily and Alondra discuss the importance of postpartum care, break down the myths and negative connotations that come with the word ‘postpartum,’ getting back to a more intuitive way of parenting, and how critical doulas are to the entire pregnancy process and beyond.
