Ayurvedic Postpartum Care
Ayurvedic postpartum care (Ayurdoula) services offer gentle, holistic support for mothers during the sacred window after birth.
Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, this care honours the postpartum period as a time for deep rest, nourishment, and restoration — supporting both physical healing and emotional wellbeing.
In Ayurveda we believe that the quality of care for mother and baby in the first 42 days of life sets the tone for health and wellbeing for the next 42 years!
As a specially trained Ayurvedic Postpartum Care giver (Ayurdoula) I provide in-home care tailored to your unique needs, creating a calm and nurturing environment where you can fully focus on recovery and bonding with your baby after birth.
With an emphasis on balancing Vata dosha, which can easily increase immediately following delivery, care is centred around warmth, grounding, and routine, with key aspects woven in to ensure the 4 Pillar of Postpartum Care (rest, nutrition, body work and herbal support) can be achieved.
Ideally, you will be in a position to create a package which allows you to receive on-going support for the first 6-8 weeks after giving birth - with meals, treatments, herbs and specialised care included at a frequency and price-point which feels suitable for you. If a package option doesn't work, individual offerings (including in-home massage packs) are also able to be booked separately.
Services may include:
-
Postpartum preparation session (ideally held prior to birth)to plan and prepare for a blissful postpartum experience including identifying and establishing your support network
-
Warm oil massage (abhyanga) to support circulation and relaxation
-
Ayurvedic belly binding for core support and healing

Ayurvedic Belly Binding Ritual
(home visit or in clinic)
A traditional postpartum practice rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, designed to support recovery after childbirth.
Using a long, soft cloth wrapped around the abdomen, this technique provides gentle compression to support the body’s healing process.
The postpartum mama is vulnerable to imbalance in the body/mind —especially elevated Vata dosha. Belly binding offers warmth, grounding, and containment, helping restore balance and a sense of physical and emotional security.
This nurturing practice may support:
-
Abdominal recovery and core stability
-
Uterine involution (natural shrinking of the uterus)
-
Improved posture and reduced back discomfort
-
Circulation and lymphatic flow
-
A feeling of being held, supported and deeplyt nurtured
Beyond the physical benefits, Ayurvedic belly binding is a comforting ritual for new mothers.
My approach honours this time-tested tradition while adapting it to modern needs, ensuring each bind is applied safely with care for your unique postpartum journey.
Sessions can be booked as a once-off, multiple times, as part of a postpartum package/postnatal massage.
Each new client receives a traditionally prepared, organic binding cloth imported direct from India.

Postpartum Diet + Lifestyle Support
(at home, clinic or online)
An opportunity to learn from the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda - a 4000 year old health system which gifts us traditional wisdom for how to care for mama and baby in the early days and weeks after birth. It is said that the quality of life and care in the first 42 days defines the quality of life and care for mother and baby for the next 42 years!
I help guide you to learn the basic principles and make a plan to integrate this information into your own life so you can move through the postnatal period with grace and ease, healing and nourishing yourself along the way.
*This offering can be booked before the arrival of bubs to help you prepare for your postnatal period or at any time you feel you would like a little extra support in the postpartum period.

Traditional Ayurvedic Baby Massage
Traditional Ayurvedic infant massage is a gentle, rhythmic practice using warm, natural oils to support your baby’s growth and development.
The treatment helps to calm the nervous system, improve sleep, aid digestion, support healthy circulation, muscle development, and overall immunity.
It can be especially supportive for common newborn discomforts such as colic, wind and gas, constipation, restlessness, difficulty settling, and irregular sleep patterns.
More than just a massage, it’s a nurturing ritual that promotes relaxation, connection, and a sense of safety for your baby.
During these session I will gently give a whole body treatment to your little one whilst also showing you how you can perform this beautiful ritual yourself so you can sustain the benefits as they continue to grow and deepen your special bond together.

Mother Blessing Ceremony
(catering available)
A Mother Blessing is a sacred gathering designed to honour and nurture a woman as she prepares to transition into motherhood.
Rooted in ancient traditions, this intimate rite of passage brings together close friends and family to offer support & love for the journey ahead.
Through gentle practices such as guided reflection, sacred honouring, symbolic rituals, moments of joy and connection and sharing gentle self-care practices the mother-to-be is held in a space of deep care and reverence as she prepares to enter her birthing portal.
I like to work closely with the mother/those organising the day to craft a program which is unique and tailored to each birthing woman. Generally 3-5hrs in length, your day may include:
-
welcome circle
-
guided meditation
-
gentle yoga practice
-
honouring ritual
-
birth affirmations
-
craft activities
-
foot bath / Ayurvedic warm oil self massage
-
morning/afternoon tea
Unlike a traditional baby shower, a Mother Blessing is intentionally crafted to focus on the emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing of the mother — celebrating her strength, wisdom, and the profound transformation she is about to undergo. It is a beautiful way to create lasting memories, strengthen community, and enter motherhood feeling supported, seen, and deeply honoured.
