la cuarentena refers to the first 40 days after giving birth. It literally translates to “quarantine,” and cuarenta means forty in Español. It's a time for new mothers to rest, recover, start breastfeeding, bond with their baby and let their sacred womb space heal.
The ancient text,The Book of Rites describes that the way a mother is nourished for up to the first 6 weeks after childbirth will determine how well she gives her light to the world for the next 40 years. Here at JCD we believe "the world" is the temple within oneself. This is a necessary sacred period of rejuvenation and reconnection of mind, body and spirit.
Our "lying in" period is built around Indigenous, Afro-diasporic and Hispanic traditions, but is built for the modern world and modern living. It features a combination of birth care and wellness professionals offering massage, yoga, meditation, warm baths, a specific diet and herbal drinks and remedies.
reclaiming birthrights—
La cuarentena consists of RETREAT, REST, RITUAL, SUPPORT + WARMTH
RETREAT— you and baby staying indoors and away from visitors as much and as long as possible (this doesn't include time connecting and grounding in nature within your personal space)
REST— staying in bed, limiting activities beyond personal and baby care
RITUAL— rituals that support the metamorphosis of the body from woman to mother. Birth is a rite of passage, this should be honoured.
SUPPORT— special diets of warming foods, tinctures, and plant medicines in the forms of teas and supplements give the body time and space. Support from doulas, therapists, family and caregivers allow for optimal rejuvenation.
WARMTH— as the body releases the excess blood that it has accumulated over the duration of pregnancy the body must be kept warm through warm baths, steaming and body wrapping.
