Ayurvedic postpartum care provides physical and energetic support for new mothers, specifically in the first 42 days after birth. The goal is reestablishing a woman’s health and vitality and helping the entire home move slowly and peacefully through what is often the most vulnerable time in a family’s life. With a proper foundation in the first 42 days after birth, you will have a foundation for your vision of motherhood.
One of my core purposes as a human is “re-villaging,” or rebuilding the network of support we once relied on for physical and emotional wellbeing. By offering postpartum care in a group format, I can better facilitate the connections we need to thrive as mothers and – in turn – the connections our children need to thrive as they grow.
Scope of Services
The services provided will be non-medical. I will assist you with Ayurvedic healing, recovery and self-care measures; including:
- Ayurvedic freshly prepared, individualized meals
- Individualized use of herbs (included in foods, teas, etc.)
- Yoga practices to support emotional, mental and physical recovery
- Meditation & breath work to balance your energy
- Post partum bodywork to restore your vibrancy
- Breastfeeding support (certified Ayurvedic breastfeeding coach, Certified Lactation Educator (CLES))
- Baby wearing support
- Wound healing and care
Philosophy / Approach
My approach matters little compared to yours. I’m here to listen, offer expertise where appropriate, and support you on realizing your vision for motherhood. My philosophy is heavily colored by my yoga practice, which has included extended periods of silence and meditation. To me, slow living and meditation are keys to a fulfilling, healthy life. In the first 42 days after birth, slow living must include proper self care, nutrition, rest and meditation. I’m here to provide for your needs in these areas so you may enter motherhood with as much balance as possible.
