#96 - Postpartum Healing with Chinese Medicine with Emily Montague

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 39:11

💌 Sign up for my FREE weekly newsletter where I share exclusive content I don't share anywhere else!

What if everything we’ve been told about postpartum recovery in Western culture is fundamentally flawed?

After facing her own health struggles postpartum after her first pregnancy, Emily Montague leaned into her background of living in Hong Kong and her fluency in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

She fully immersed herself in the transformative wisdom of “The Sitting Month”—a traditional Chinese approach to postpartum care that prioritizes rest, nourishment, and long-term healing. Now, after having 5 children herself(!) Emily is helping mothers everywhere reclaim this powerful practice.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The ancient practice of “The Sitting Month” and why dedicated rest transforms postpartum recovery
Key dietary principles and warming foods that rebuild blood and support healing
The contrast between Western “bounce back” culture and Eastern approaches to maternal care
How acupuncture and community support play vital roles in long-term wellbeing

In this episode, we’re connecting the dots between Frozen Shoulder and Menopause.

Both are incredibly common—especially in women around their 40s and 50s—and TCM offers powerful tools to support recovery and balance.

I’ll walk you through the TCM perspective on frozen shoulder, exploring patterns like Qi and Blood stagnation, Kidney and Liver Blood deficiencies, and how these connect to hormonal shifts and the decline of estrogen from a Western medical lens.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

The TCM patterns behind frozen shoulder and how they link to menopause
Key acupuncture points and techniques that target both local and systemic causes
How to combine treatments for faster, more lasting results
Lifestyle tips to support healing between sessions

Let’s talk pelvic health!
This is one of my absolute favourite topics—and one that deserves way more open discussion. From the hips to the uterus to the vagina, this beautiful area of the body is often shrouded in shame or taboo.

I'm joined by Kim Vopni, aka The Vagina Coach, who brings over 15 years of pelvic health expertise. We dig into the reality of pelvic floor dysfunction, why it's not just a “mom problem,” and what can actually help (hint: it’s not just Kegels!)

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

Why pelvic floor dysfunction affects women of all ages—not just postpartum
Surprising signs of imbalance, like waking to pee at night, painful sex, or back pain
How Kim’s “Buff Muff” method makes pelvic floor training part of everyday movement

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
