Sacred Window of Postpartum
42 Days, 42 Years.
The importance of this 6 weeks of care is paramount to our overall health and well-being. Heal, nourish and replenish the mind, body and spirit with the ancient tradition of Ayurvedic care.
Let’s sit down together
before Baby arrives
Allow me to listen to your concerns, needs and goals. Together we can create a soothing and healing treatment plan that meets you and baby’s physical, emotional and nutritional needs. We can explore ways to reduce depression, anxiety and fatigue through Ayurvedic infused meals, snacks and teas as well as replenish your body with relaxing warm oil body treatments and healing herbal baths followed by a soothing self-care routine
The wisdom of the Ayurvedic sages teaches us that the way we treat our bodies in the first 42 days after childbirth (the sacred healing window) determines how our body will heal or not heal for the next 42 years of our life.
Oftentimes new mothers are gifted with casseroles, lasagnas and other heavy, dense foods. Although each of these meals are made with love and good intentions, a postpartum mama’s digestive system needs time to rebuild. Energy spent trying to break down and digest these complex meals can take away from the healing and rejuvenating process. It can also hinder the production of quality breastmilk. If mama’s milk becomes heavy and dense like these meals, baby can easily become gassy or colicky.
Help nourish your digestive system with these Homemade Ayurvedically and organically prepared meals.
The Sacred Window is a crucial time of nourishment and healing.
