Why do we need Slow Postpartum?
All over the world people are seeing the benefits in their lives from intentionally taking the time to slow down and live more mindfully.
There is no more important time to encourage this than in your work with your pregnant & postpartum clients.
A 'Slow Postpartum' encourages new mothers and parents to honour and respect the potent and transformational weeks after giving birth, by allowing them the time and space to rest deeply, restore, heal and rejuvenate. It’s about embracing centuries-old postpartum rituals that focus on caring for a new mother or parent in order to give them the time and space that they need and desire to bond, nurture and fall in love with their new baby.
During The Art of Slow Postpartum Mastermind Training, we will deep dive into all aspects of my unique slow parenting program as well as uncover how you can bring aspects of the slow movement into creating a business (and life!) that brings you happiness, abundance and satisfaction. We will look at marketing and business planning, how to value your unique offerings and expertise and how you can differentiate yourself from your competition. We will also cover all aspects of postpartum care from creating and marketing packages that sell, planning your postpartum visits, cooking in your client's home, which services to provide (and which to leave out!) plus more.
On completion of the training, you will have in-depth knowledge to help your clients create a postpartum filled with ease and bliss, through the lens of slow living, as well as the confidence to build a flourishing business that will work for you (rather than the other way around!)
What's In The Art of Slow Postpartum Mastermind Training?
There are nine modules in the course plus a tenth follow up session.
Lesson 1: Be Intentional
In this lesson I help you to create a structure for planning a positive postpartum experience with your clients in pregnancy. We will explore tools that will allow you to get to know your ideal client's values and parenting philosophy and keep them on track to be guided by this important information. We will also explore your ideal business vision and gain clarity on who your ideal client is and what you hope to have them achieve.
Lesson 2: Be Prepared
In this lesson we look at the many and varied challenges that our clients may face during the postpartum which may get in the way of them experiencing their ideal vision from the last lesson. We will explore how to coach them to be well prepared and resourced so that they feel confident to handle challenges as they arise. With your help and that of their support systems they have put in place , this will go a long way to making their experience more positive.
Lesson 3: Be Supported
You've heard the saying 'it takes a village to raise a child' but for many new families the right kind of support can be in short supply. In this lesson we will learn the importance of 'village building' and how to maximise the amount of support that a family has in the postpartum weeks so that their postpartum is peaceful and harmonious and your job is easier and more fulfilling. .We will explore what makes a good 'village' and when help can be detrimental as well as barriers to asking for help. Do you have a 'village' to help you grow your business? If not, we will build that too!
Lesson 4: Be Connected
You will learn the skills to help your clients to 'baby proof ' their relationships, so that they avoid the difficulties and friction that many couples will experience in the postpartum weeks. We will also cover how best to support new families to navigate other potential problematic family dynamics that could undermine their confidence and impact their postpartum experience.
Lesson 5: Be Loved
Discover the little-known power in maximising the unique 'hormone cocktail' of pregnancy, birth & postpartum so that you can ensure that the new families that you are working with have what they need to fall deeply in love with their new baby and breastfeed successfully (if choosing to breastfeed). You will learn why 'baby or mommy brain' is a blessing rather than a curse as well as practical 'oxytocin building' exercises to help surround your families in a bubble of love!
Lesson 6: Be Inspired
In this lesson we will be inspired by the secrets and similarities of traditional postpartum care practiced in virtually every indigenous culture around the world. We will also learn how to share the many and varied benefits of these 'five foundations of postpartum care' with the new families that we are supporting, integrating them into our business and work.
Lesson 7: Be Healed
Many women and birthing people are left surprised and shocked by some of the physical changes that they had not anticipated or prepared for following pregnancy and birth. In this lesson we will discuss how a little understanding and preparation can help your clients to reduce (or avoid entirely) some of the postpartum healing issues that many suffer from, so that they can enjoy optimal healing and comfort in their new body. I will also share my favourite natural healing remedies with you so that you can create your own herbal blends and products for your clients to support their healing journey.
Lesson 8: Be Nourished
In this lesson we do a deep dive into the importance of nutrition in the postpartum weeks. You will learn how to plan and cook healthy and delicious meals for the families that you work with as well as give them information on why it’s important to eat certain foods and to avoid others over the postpartum period. You'll come away with a list of ingredients, shopping lists, menu plans and recipes to support your clients to have a nourished postpartum and have the confidence to cook in their homes or yours. If cooking isn't your jam or a service you provide, we'll discuss how you can support families to be optimally nourished by others in their community.
Lesson 9: Be Transformed
The journey throughout pregnancy, birth and into motherhood/parenthood will likely be one of the most powerful and potent transformations of your client's life. In this lesson we learn how to explore and celebrate the time known as 'Matresence' so that you are better able to guide and support new families through this time of profound change. You will learn how your role can be intrinsic in gifting your client the wisdom to understand her own 'Matrescence' as you hold space for her new life to awaken.
Lesson 10: Conclusion
In this final lesson we will have time to recap and absorb the first nine steps of the program as well drill down into how you can personalised your Slow Postpartum training to make it unique to your business. We will look at your packages and offerings as well as clarifying your ideal client and how you might find them. I will share with you my list of resources including a details Slow Postpartum Planning Trello Board that you will be able to utilise in your work so that you will feel organised and prepared.

What my clients say about the experience with me
The Art of Slow Postpartum Mastermind training has been outstanding. It has been so fantastic to work with such an experienced birth and postpartum professional! Jojo’s mentorship, experience and the quality of her teaching and content, along with her giving me bags of reassurance and care has given me the knowledge and the confidence to build my postpartum business from the foundations up.
Maeve Murray
Newborn Mothers - Ireland
Working with Jojo in the Art of Slow Postpartum Mastermind training gave me an amazing feeling of accomplishment, confidence and inspiration. Not only was I able to to create a structure as to what needs to be covered in my prenatal sessions but I’ve also put together a comprehensive postpartum program for my doula agency and feel much more confident bringing care to my clients. I really needed and benefitted from the chance not only to learn but also to talk about my business and to vent. I would say that if you are considering doing this training that it really pays heavily to have someone like Jojo there to process and to share because, as doulas we don’t have many places like that to centre ourselves. Jojo encourages you to centre, to grow, to remember your values, to realise what you want to do and find out how to accomplish it. In the past I’ve spent money on things just to get a course that I didn’t really use. This is a personalised program that allows you to truly accomplish the things that you want to. "

Hi, I'm Jojo Hogan
I am so delighted to have you here! It is my life’s work to care for, nurture
and support mothers, babies and families throughout their childbirth year.
In 2005 I created the Bella Mama Pregnancy Spa & Wellness Centre where, along with my team of committed and compassionate therapists, we cared for over 10,000 pregnant mothers and families throughout the special journey that was their pregnancies, births and transition into parenthood.After running Bella Mama for 14 years, I made the choice to devote myself wholeheartedly to the one-on-one focussed care of my mamas and the creation of the international Slow Postpartum Movement. Since then I have trained and worked with doulas and birth-workers around the world teaching my Slow Postpartum method.
I truly believe that when all mothers, babies and new families are born into a place of love, respect and compassion, this in turn ripples out into their families, communities and the world. Changing it for the better.
I would love to share this special work with you and help your business flourish. Because then we can together make the world a better place for mothers, parents and families.
With love Jojo x
