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.

Belly wrapping

A key part of Ayurvedic postpartum rejuvenation. Following the abhyanga I will wrap your belly and show you, and/or a partner or whomever will be caring for you how to as well.  Belly wrapping reduces mental anxiety and depression, helps to close the empty womb space and provides a grounded, supportive feeling. 

Ritual

Birth is an initiation whether it is a woman's first or tenth child.  Each visit is an opportunity to recognize your transition into becoming a mother and to honour this powerful season in life.

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.
