Me with my son with his son and daughter

One morning I got up early and in the quiet, and I had a talk with you . .

Golden Month outlines a holistic approach towards postnatal care that amalgamates the best practices from different cultures throughout the world.


An acupuncturist and teacher, Jenny Allison has spent a decade researching this book. Golden Month aims to debunk the anxiety-inducing myth of the perfect postpartum body. It focuses on a mother’s long-term well-being, looking at both mental and physical health.

Golden Month also explains the importance of nutrition and includes nutrient-dense recipes to ensure optimum recovery during the postnatal period.
