The timeless wisdom of āyurveda

Bringing life into the world is a sacred and transformational journey. The timeless wisdom of āyurveda offers grounded support through each stage from conception to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Rooted in nature and aligned with the rhythms of life, Ayurveda emphasizes self-care, nourishment, and emotional well-being to ensure the health of both mother and baby.

Postpartum:

Traditional Wisdom for Contemporary Women

Welcoming a new baby into the family is a precious and transformative time. Traditional wisdom observes a unique 42 day period after birth that calls for special care of the mother and baby. During this sacred window a mother is encouraged to rest and be cared for to promote recovery, rejuvenation, and time to bond with her baby. How she cares for herself postpartum will have an impact on her health and well being for years to come.

Women caring for women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is a timeless tradition. As a postpartum doula, I provide compassionate care to woman while they transition into life with a new baby at home. Gentle support strengthens her immunity, reduces the risk of postpartum depression, and prevents digestive dis-ease such as constipation and colic. It is important for a mother to understand that taking good care of herself is taking care of her baby and family. By building a stronger, healthier family unit we strengthen the core of our community as a whole.

Immediate benefits of intentional postpartum care:

The benefits far outweigh the cost. Women establish nourishing routines and lifestyle practices that support their recovery and allow their family to thrive through the years.

Pregnancy Packages

To best serve families, I offer a variety of all inclusive rejuvenation packages. I have found that optimal care and the best result comes when a mother and her family make the commitment to fully embrace the sacredness of postpartum as a time of transformation and awakening. It is not my intent to help women simply get by but to take a deeper look at how they can live a more conscious life. Thus influencing a more stable, healthy family and community.
