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.

I care for mother's in the Greater Victoria region.

CHOOSE YOUR RITUAL:

Ritual 1 

ANOINTED

Honour your body from head to toe with a 90 minute Ayurvedic warm, herbal oil scalp and full body massage, also known as abhyanga . Ayurveda considers abhyanga to be an essential component in postpartum recovery. 


Uses up to 8 oz of organic, handcrafted herbal oil infused with restorative and strengthening herbs specific to the postpartum time.  


The postpartum abhyanga is a very gentle full body treatment using repetitive and soothing strokes to help distribute the herbal oil deep into the body, circulate the energy, and strengthen the body for faster healing.


Includes an Ayurvedic tea that supports immunity and helps balance the postpartum body. 

Provided in-home

Choose from one, three or six visits. 

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. 

Ritual 2

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.
