"The Art of Returning Home"
Intentions of an AyurDoula
Welcome beautiful friends, to a journey of reviving Ancient Wisdom through honoring Birth as a Rite of Passage and providing care from pregnancy through postpartum in alignment with Wise Woman traditions. My intention through AlmaVeda is to uplift your pregnancy, help you prepare for a beautiful labor and support deep healing, nourishment and rejuvenation during the 42 day Sacred Window following birth. My intention is to support you holistically as the unique individual that you are. To provide care that brings physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual vitality. To infuse a sense of Ceremony into your initiation of Motherhood so that you may gently transition from Maiden to Mother. Through these intentions, my hope is for you to confidently walk out of your Sacred Window feeling Whole and at home within your Self. Birth is an initiation every time a baby is born and it is essential that we return to tending to this experience in a Sacred way. I believe this specialized care is not only essential to the health of Mama and baby but to Humanity as a whole.

The Beauty of Ayurveda
Ayurveda is an ancient and beautiful system of Wellness from India that seeks to bring us into harmony with the rhythms of Nature. It is a science of living that guides us to vibrant physical, mental and emotional health as well as a deeper connection to our spiritual nature and to all of Life.
Ayurveda offers us timeless wisdom to support Mamas as they prepare for and journey through the experience of birth and into Motherhood. It makes perfect sense that a system of Wellness that aligns with Nature would deeply support and nourish feminine bodies which so beautifully reflect the cycles of the moon and the seasons.
The healing that this system of care offers is rooted in body care practices, nourishing foods and herbal support
infused with an element of sensory beauty.
The Sacred Window
Ayurveda identifies a 42 day Sacred Window that opens up for birthers any time a baby is born. In these first 6 weeks after birth, it is essential that Mama receives proper care and nourishment through deep rest, specific foods, herbal support and body care. When the postpartum Sacred Window is mindfully and intentionally tended to Mama has the opportunity to step into her new role with confidence and vitality while calmly navigating common postpartum challenges.
