Helping you Reclaim the Practice of a Slow, Restorative, Intentional Sacred Postpartum


Birthing a baby is a powerful rite of passage, whether it is a mother's first of fifth child.

 It is a time for deep rest, nourishment, stillness and the witnessing from one's community.


 It's an honour to help you on the journey. 


"After birth, there's a sacred window of time, a time for complete rejuvenation of a woman's physical, mental and spiritual health. The first 42 days set the stage for her next 42 years. "

Your body is designed to thrive after birth. Postpartum recovery rituals help women to renew themselves, balance hormones and even heal constitutional weaknesses from pre-pregnancy. It is an opportunity to completely reset the body, when given the proper support.

Soul Nourishing. Deeply Restorative Ayurvedic Postpartum Body Care.

Makes a beautiful postpartum gift for yourself or another.

Your session:

Indulge in restorative teas, a warm ayurvedic herbal oil massage (abhyanga), and a therapeutic herbal bath for a rejuvenating recovery experience.


Your session begins with a grounding herbal tea, setting the tone for relaxation. Then, enjoy a 75-minute warm, herbal oil scalp and full-body massage, known as abhyanga. In Ayurveda, abhyanga is a vital part of postpartum healing, promoting relaxation and aiding recovery.


To complete your session, receive a litre of carefully prepared herbal bath soak, decocted to maximize the healing properties of the herbs. Simply pour it into a warm bath at the end of your session or later on before bed for an extra layer of nourishment and relaxation.


Throughout the day, sip on 2 liters of specially crafted hydration tea that supports lactation and digestion.


What is Abhyanga?

Abhyanga is a gentle yet powerful full-body treatment involving rhythmic and soothing strokes with herbal oil. This technique helps distribute the healing oils deeply into the body, circulate energy, and accelerate postpartum recovery.

Up to 8 oz of organic, handcrafted herbal oil is used, infused with restorative herbs specifically chosen for their postpartum healing properties.


All sessions are provided in the comfort of your own home.

$180 per session

A simple and nourishing start to motherhood. 


To maximize the benefits from the recovery sessions, visits are typically

 scheduled as close to the birth as possible and close together. For example, three visits back to back or six visits broken up

 to do three in a row one week and three the next is far more beneficial than visits scheduled once a week. 

In Sanskrit, the word "Sneha" can be translated both as  oil and love. It is said that saturating the body in oil is akin to being saturated in love, bringing deep feelings of stability, warmth, and comfort.
