You're not failing, mama.
You're healing without a guide.

We prepare for the birth.
We prepare for the baby.
Nobody prepares us for what happens to our own bodies and minds after.

40 Days To Renewal

I'm Danielle — mom of three. When I had my third, I finally had the language for what I'd been missing the first two times: real support for the fourth trimester, not just a "6-week checkup and you're on your own."
So I teamed up with my acupuncturist, Mehdi Khodakhah R.Ac., F.ABORM  — a specialist in fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery — and we built the guide I wish someone had handed me after my first baby.

Half lived experience, half clinical expertise.
All the things nobody tells you to actually do in those first 40 days.

The Numbers that Made Us Write This

1 in 7

Mothers develop postpartum depression.

30%+

Experience postpartum anxiety.

* Statistics sourced from the World Health Organization (WHO), The Lancet Global Health, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Statistics reflect population-level estimates and may vary by study, population, and definition.

These numbers aren’t here to scare you.

They're here to tell you something important:

If postpartum has felt harder than anyone warned you,

you're not broken and you're not alone.

You're under-supported.

That's fixable.

Why the First Forty Days Matter

Across many cultures, the first forty days after birth are considered a sacred period of healing. During this time, your body undergoes profound physical, hormonal, and emotional changes while adjusting to caring for your newborn.

​

How you nourish and care for yourself during these weeks can support your energy, recovery, hormonal balance, emotional resilience, and overall wellbeing for months—and even years—to come. This guide helps you slow down, honour your recovery, and build a strong foundation for motherhood.

Who Wrote This
And Why It's Not Just Another Wellness EBook

IMG_2354_edited.jpg

Danielle Shugg

Mom of three, and the person behind @themindfulblonde talking about nervous system regulation and what motherhood actually feels like. I wrote the parts of this guide I needed someone to hand me in my own fourth trimesters — what helped, what I wish I'd known, what I got wrong.

Author_edited.jpg

​Mehdi Khodakhah, R.Ac., FABORM

A registered acupuncturist and fellow of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine, specializing in fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. Mehdi wrote the clinical backbone: the acupressure techniques, the Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, the "why" behind the recovery framework.
This guide exists because we kept seeing the same gap: women get incredible medical care through pregnancy and birth, and then almost nothing after. We built the thing that should already exist.

Together, they’ve created a compassionate, evidence-informed resource that blends clinical expertise with the realities of motherhood, making ancient wisdom practical for today’s families.

Choose the Support That Feels Right for You

40 Days to Renewal was designed to be a complete resource on its own. Everything in the guide can be used without booking a consultation.

But sometimes you have questions that are specific to your body, your history, or where you are in your journey.

For those who want to take it one step further, we’re offering a limited number of private 1:1 virtual consultations with Mehdi.

What Mamas Are Saying

Sam

“After going through two births myself and feeling like there was so much I had to figure out on my own, I knew I wanted to gift this ebook to my sister who’s expecting. She’s already loving how practical and simple the tips are. Nothing overwhelming or unrealistic, just natural little things she can easily add to her day without going out of her way.”

Sarah

“I wish I’d had this guide when I was freshly postpartum with my son. So much of it rang true, and it’s clear the experts behind it really understand what new moms go through. It really drives home how important it is for us as mothers to take care of ourselves in those first 40 days. If you’re in that early postpartum stretch, this is a helpful resource to have on hand.”

This Is For You If...

  • You're expecting and want to prepare for postpartum, not just birth

  • You're in the fourth trimester right now and feel like you're figuring it out alone

  • You had a vaginal or C-section birth and want real recovery guidance

  • You want natural, TCM-informed ways to support healing

  • You're a partner or family member who wants to actually help, not just ask "how can I help"
