Postnatal support network

PSN addresses the importance of a well-prepared and relaxing 40-day postnatal period. It is an international organisation with a non-medical and social network, informing families-to-be about this special and delicate time after birth.

Support our charity
what drives us

Background

Our work is deeply rooted in Ayurveda and the teachings of Kundalini yoga. Our organization’s founders Satya Kaur and Gurujagat Kaur were part of the first group of Western women who received and gave help during the first weeks after birth. Many years and studies on women’s health later, they joined together to initiate this network. Satya Kaur also brings her experience as a midwife.

Our principle of holistic, nonmedical support for mothers is not exclusively derived from the Kundalini Yoga tradition. Many traditions include a form of exclusion from daily activities with community support during the first weeks after birth. Our knowledge of healing foods, conscious attitude and communication, together with other healing techniques is inspired by many spiritual teachings, thinkers, birth professionals and mothers. We acknowledge other traditions and are thankful for their initiatives. We trust that our Network will inspire a bigger movement towards happy mothers, partners, children and societies.
