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

We prepare for the birth.
We prepare for the baby.
But somehow, we're rarely prepared for what happens to us after.

40 Days To Renewal

A beautifully designed guide to postpartum healing that blends Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern holistic insights, and the lived experience of motherhood.

Created by fertility acupuncturist Mehdi Khodakhah, R.Ac., F.ABORM (@mehdi_the_acupuncturist) and mother of three Danielle Shugg (@themindfulblonde), this ebook offers gentle, practical guidance to help you navigate the often-overlooked fourth trimester with confidence.

These numbers aren’t here to scare you.

They’re here to remind you…

If postpartum feels harder than you expected, you’re not alone.

Most mothers aren’t failing, their bodies are not broken.

They’re just deeply unsupported.

They’re recovering without enough guidance.

About the EBook

The weeks after birth can feel overwhelming, yet they are some of the most important for a mother’s long-term health. 40 Days to Renewal was created to bridge the gap between modern postpartum care and centuries of traditional wisdom.

This comprehensive guide combines Traditional Chinese Medicine principles with Western holistic understanding to provide realistic, approachable support for physical recovery, emotional wellbeing, nourishment, breastfeeding, and rebuilding strength, without adding more to your already full plate.

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 influence 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.

From Lived Experience and Clinical Insight

This guide brings together two unique perspectives.

Danielle Shugg

Danielle, health coach and mother of three, shares the lessons she learned through her own postpartum journeys, offering heartfelt insight into what truly helped her heal after birth.

Mehdi Khodakhah

Mehdi contributes years of clinical experience supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, birth preparation, and postpartum recovery as a Registered Acupuncturist and Fellow of the ABORM.

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.
