“Omugwo" - Unlocking Postpartum Healing for Body, Mind, and Spirit

August 01, 2025 • Chito

The first 40 days after childbirth go far beyond physical recovery—they’re about reclaiming your body, mind, and spirit. In this powerful episode of HERcast with Dr. Chito, we explore the traditional African practice of Omugwo—a time-honored postpartum care system—and how it intersects with modern medicine for holistic healing.

Our guest, Dr. Ajimego Ikuenobe, medical doctor, early childhood development expert, and founder of Omugwo Academy, shares real-life stories and expert insights on:

Navigating postpartum recovery with intention
Building a support system that truly works
Preventing postpartum depression through care and planning
Blending cultural wisdom with evidence-based practices

Whether you're an expecting mother, new parent, healthcare worker, or part of someone’s village—this episode is a must-listen on how rest, community, and culture can transform the motherhood journey.
