Traditional Rituals for Postpartum Mamas

It is with great honor and humility that I offer my services to mother the mother.

The 11th moon is the cycle of healing and bonding between the mother and her new babe. In Ayurveda we say, 42 days for 42 years. The AyurDoula mothers the mother with nutrition, herbal teas, massage and rituals for 42 days to inspire an abundance of rest and rejuvenation for a lifetime of wellbeing.

As your postpartum AyurDoula

I will be in service to your individual needs to ensure you have the supportive environment that is aligned with your greatest wisdom as new mama. There are many possible traditional rituals to choose from to support this profound time.

Together we will create the services that are most in service to your needs.
