Ayurvedic Postpartum Care

The Sacred Window & Ayurveda

Nature offers the mother a unique window of time after childbirth, also called the ‘Sacred Window’. This is a sacred time of deep rejuvenation, rest, bonding, and total devotion. During this beautiful and intens time, the mother is very vunerable and can easily become depleted if the right care is not prioritized. She needs to be cared for in a loving and sensitive way. The wisdom of Ayurveda shares many helpful tools with us so that we can nourish the mother during this transitional time.

Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula Care

As a postpartum doula I’m here to care for the newborn mother. To witness her, with full and loving attention, to listen and to create space so that healing can take place.

As your postpartum doula, I'm here to create a foundation of trust that encourages you to ask for what it is that you really need. Besides bringing in nouishing foods, herbs and body care work, I am also here to make sure you feel supported in every way, so you can focus on bonding with your baby and move through this immense transition in a concious and joyful way.

I am here to support you as you process your birth and gently navigate the waves of emotions that can arise in the days and weeks afterward. I am here to draw you a herbal bath, hold your baby, and make sure you always have a warm tea by your side.

Postpartum foods & the digestive fire

What you eat after birth is important. This is your one opportunity to support your body with the healing that needs to take place and to gently kindle your ‘Agni’ (the digestive fire). There is a lot of fluid loss during birth which increases dryness and creates access air in the body. Besides this, your digestive system is now as delicate as your newborn baby’s.

Not just Ayurveda, but any ancient tradition that is still connected to their roots, recommends eating nourishing, liquid, soft, warm and grounding foods. This will gently rebuild your digestive system and sets you up for healing, rejuvenation, and radiant health.
