Postpartum Doula Care

Receive highly specialized holistic postpartum care to go through this delicate, critical rite of passage with more empowerment and support so that you are a healthy, balanced and confident mother. Move away from fear, self-doubt, lack of support, and lack of holistic knowledge that is holding you back from embodying the healthy postpartum recovery of your dreams. We love to provide a caring, experienced, results-driven, and meticulously maintained perinatal practice.

In Ayurveda, one of the major holistic health systems that informs our postpartum work, the postpartum time is a critical time for the mother to heal and restore her body’s tissues and systems, starting with day one of the birth through especially the first 42 days. Ayurvedic physicians say that by taking this needed care during the postpartum time, the mother’s health will be positively impacted for the next 42 years. We 100% respect and work with any type of birthing environment that you personally choose, including home births, natural birth centers and hospitals.

  • Safe and carefully formulated clinical herbal blends for your customized health needs
