Healing After Birth With Ayurveda
An integral part of my doula work is facilitating deep healing. As an ayurvedic doula, I help mothers heal through nourishment, yoga, self care and rest
Nourishment with foods, teas, and herbs
Yoga with breath work, meditation and gentle movement
Self Care with warm oil massage, belly binding, yoni steaming
Rest with newborn care, sibling help and a thorough postpartum plan
A postpartum doula is focused on mother baby care- whatever that means for you
In my work as a doula, I have shared information on newborn sleep, taught mothers how to baby wear, helped establish a proper breastfeeding latch and eased worries about what’s “normal” in this sacred window of time. I’ve also prepared meals, sanitized bottles, vacuumed the house before in-laws visit, and picked up older children from school. I’ve comforted women as they cry about the overwhelm of it all and laugh with them during baby’s first bath.
Postpartum can be full of high highs and low lows. My role is to tend to all of your needs as your family transitions and transforms. My purpose is supporting women and children while guiding women to trust their intuitive nature of mothering.
I might be the postpartum doula for you if…
You’re a first time mom and feeling anxious about newborn care and after birth recovery
You have older children and need help balancing life with 2, or 3, or 4…
You have risk factors for postpartum mood disorders and want to set yourself up with support mentally, physically and emotionally
You want to nourish yourself with healthy meals and promote lactation with herbs but have no idea how
Your baby is already here and you’re struggling (no shame, it’s not always easy)
You have no family or friends around and need to find your “village”
You want to make the transition of growing a family as tender and gentle as possible
Expecting a baby and looking for doula support?
