"Empowered Postpartum Wellness... speaks to the version of you who is leaking milk, emotionally overloaded, and wondering who she's become... What struck me most was how often I found myself nodding along, thinking, "Why hasn't anyone said this before?" There were parts where I teared up, not because the book was sad, but because it made me feel seen...
This book is a gem, especially for expectant mothers and those in the thick of the postpartum haze. I'd also recommend it to partners and support people, anyone who wants to truly show up for a new mom.
If you want a guide that speaks your language, acknowledges the hard stuff, and helps you come out the other side more whole, then Empowered Postpartum Wellness is absolutely worth your time."- Literary Titan
Hi, I'm Jade, award-winning author of Empowered Postpartum Wellness, holistic postpartum nurse, certified family health coach, and mom of 2 littles who gets it.Â

I wrote this book because moms deserve more than vague advice and bounce-back pressure, they deserve a plan that supports their healing, protects their peace, and honors who they are becoming.
I’m here to help you rise. Not just back to who you were, but forward into a version of motherhood that feels rooted, supported, and real.
This is the book I wish I had... A clear, kind guide that helps you heal your body, regulate your emotions, rebuild your energy, and reconnect with you.
Because it’s not about doing more. It’s about being here, with your baby, your body, and your self with intention.
Perfection isn’t the goal.
Presence is.

"This book felt real and actually useful, not full of the usual fluff. The author talks about what new moms really go through without sugarcoating it, and somehow still keeps it kind and encouraging.
The tips on nervous system regulation and simple self-care actually make sense and don’t feel overwhelming. It’s clear she understands what those early weeks are like. I’d definitely hand this to any new mom who’s struggling to find her footing."- J
"What I love about this book is that it doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Jade tells it like it is, but in a way that’s comforting, not scary. The self-care and recovery tips are easy to follow, even when you’re exhausted. I found myself crying at times because I finally felt understood. I’ll be gifting this to every pregnant friend I know."

"This book felt like a warm hug during one of the hardest times of my life. I wish I had Empowered Postpartum Wellness after my first baby, not just my second. Jade Padlan truly understands what new moms go through, physically, emotionally, and mentally.
The advice is practical, but it also feeds your soul. Every new mom needs this book on her nightstand!"- I.Y.Â
