🧘‍♀️ Guided Movement & Recovery

Postpartum rehabilitation that begins gently—from the bed, if needed.
Aligned with the Ayurvedic principle of “rest for 42 days for 42 years of wellness,” my approach begins slow and builds strength through breath-led, biomechanically sound movement.

Includes:

• Breathwork and gentle core re-engagement

• Restorative yoga on or near the bed

• Pelvic floor functional health (beyond traditional Kegels)

• Real-life functional movement guidance for parenting tasks

• Biomechanical assessment to address pain or imbalance

• Personalized sequences for healing and strength

🍲 Nourishment & Meal Support

Because feeding yourself is also an act of protecting your baby.

Options include:

• In-home meal preparation using warm, spiced, easily digestible foods

• Local meal delivery tailored to your constitution and needs

• Menus to support milk production, digestion, and tissue healing

• Herbal teas, tonics, and postpartum drinks

• Comfort foods rooted in Ayurvedic and cross-cultural postpartum wisdom

• Shared meals—because caregivers deserve to be nourished, too

🪔 Ayurvedic Perinatal Care

Traditional care adapted for modern families.

Ayurveda views postpartum as a powerful opportunity to restore health and balance. I adapt these practices with sensitivity to your birth experience, preferences, and environment.

👶 Infant Massage & Partner Education

Traditional touch practices for bonding, regulation, and connection.

• Songs and movement to soothe and engage

• Baby-led, permission-based touch

• Support for overstimulation, teething, sleep, and gas

• Creating calm bedtime or morning rituals for the whole family

Why This Work Matters

You were never meant to do this alone.

Western postpartum care often overlooks the body, the spirit, and the mother herself. This work reclaims care as a necessity—not a luxury. It restores what has been lost: nervous system safety, sacred rest, whole-body nourishment, and community support.

💛 Now Offering Limited Practice Sessions

To celebrate the expansion of these services, I’m offering a few at-cost practice sessions for past and current students. These are a chance to receive care and help shape this work in community. Care included in this exclusive offer ranges from Micro Enhancements to aspects of full Perinatal Care Packages.
