Ayurvedic Postpartum Care

Mothering the Mother

What is “Ayurvedic” Postpartum care?

Ayurvedic Postpartum care is rooted in the ancient healing tradition of Ayurveda which emphasized the importance of restoring balance and harmony to mind, body, and spirit. From pregnancy through birth and postpartum, mothers undergo profound physical and emotional changes, and Ayurvedic practices support and nourish them during this delicate time.

What Does a Postpartum Doula Do?

“Doulas help postpartum mothers in their home, adapting to her schedule while providing the emotional availability to sense a new mother’s subtle needs. A doula is required to provide assistance first to the mother’s inner world, which explodes beyond any known parameters, while simultaneously managing and interacting with the external world, which has suddenly become chaotic. Above all, she must provide support, an understanding ear, loving care, and affection. She must be able to understand everything the new mother is feeling and realize the importance of the mother’s personal history: how this mother experienced the delivery of her child, her family and social background, and the level of her personal development. The new mother is better able to sustain her newborn child with the help of a doula.”

Why choose Ayurvedic Postpartum Care?

Ayurvedic Postpartum Care offers a unique and holistic approach to postpartum recovery, focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing. By integrating Ayurvedic principles and practices into your postpartum journey, you can experience deeper healing, balance, and rejuvenation during this metamorphic time.

"After birth there is a Sacred Window of time; a time for complete rejuvenation of a woman’s physical, mental and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn. The first 42 days after birth set the stage for her next 42 years."

It is an honor to offer you and your new family holistic and nurturing support during your sacred postpartum period.

As an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, I am dedicated to providing personalized care specific to your individual physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

As an AyurDoula, I focus on the 4 Pillars of Ayurvedic Postpartum Care:

Rest “Mothering the Mother” - I support you in a warm and cozy nest of rest and rejuvenation so you may focus on what is most important: your own healing and bonding with your baby.
Diet “Food as Medicine” - I prepare delicious bio-individual meals, snacks, and drinks specific to each stage of your 6-week postpartum journey that are warm, spiced, and easy to digest to help strengthen your digestive fire.
Herbs - I prepare special herbals in the form of ghees, teas, and snacks to eliminate excess Vata (elements of air and ether/space), strengthen digestion, soothe the nervous system & strengthen/rebuild the body.
Body Care - I offer instruction for daily Abhyanga (oil massage), ceremonial herbal baths, belly binding, flower essences, yoni steaming rituals, baby massage.

How would it feel to emerge from your Sacred Window thriving and better than ever as you bloom into motherhood?
