Labor Preparation and Support
One sesson $125 / 2-3 sessions $115 each / 4 session series $440

Ayurveda has a set of profound practices to prepare and assist the body, mind and spirit for blossoming a baby into the world. These practices along with botanical support are intended to ease the naturally intense experience of Birth. Physically priming the body, relaxing the mind, and creating a safe and nourishing environment allows for a beautiful unfolding of Birth.
The inspiration for these sessions is perfectly summed up by Beautiful Chorus in their song "Please Prepare Me"
"Please prepare me - To be a sanctuary - Pure and holy - Tried and true - With thanks giving - I'll be a living - Sanctuary for you"
SANCTUARY SESSIONS
If you crave a deeper level of hands on support, I offer a series of in person visits starting at 37 weeks. Weekly visits include support through Aryurvedic oil therapies (abhyanga & yoni picchu), herbal bath and weekly guidance for other preparation practices. The last visit of this series is at the beginning of labor.
The intention of these sessions to support you in coming into Sanctuary with yourself as you prepare for Birth. Together we will create a container of relaxation, connection and receptivity to help you holistically prepare for your birthing experience. My intention is to support you in feeling held and nourished as you yourself become the Sanctuary for your baby.
ALSO INCLUDED with the sanctuary sessions (no matter how many sessions you choose) is an herbal kit for yoni picchu (2 oz oil & 15 organic yoni cottons).
INDLUDED with the FULL 4 SESSION SERIES (in addition to the yoni picchu herbal kit) is our Bloom Labor Kit (herbal bath blend, 2 oz herbal massage oil for labor, 1 liter tea bag for labor and 2 ml cardamom essential oil)
