Ayurvedic
Postpartum
Recovery
Supporting you on your journey.
Ayurvedic postpartum recovery is a system of diet and lifestyle practices during the early weeks after giving birth used to optimize your recovery and long-term health after childbirth. All birthing people and mothers deserve and require a period of time to rest, heal, and replenish after the nurturing that was given prenatally.
This is an essential piece of the childbearing cycle.
And it’s very often the missing piece.

THE SACRED WINDOW
Ayurveda says that the first 42 days after birth influence the next 42 years of the persons life.
It will affect their wellbeing, health, their ability to parent or mother, and their ability to partner. When a person gives birth they go through an initiation, regardless if it is their first baby, second, and so on (including miscarriage or loss). Just like a newborn baby, they are too fragile and open from this transition that their body, mind, and spirit have just gone through. In essence, they are as vulnerable as their baby, and need individualized support during this time of great restructuring.
This time is referred to as a Sacred Window.
It is within these precious first few weeks after birth that the birther has the unique opportunity to choose a path of deep rejuvenation or the path of deep depletion depending on the type of food they eat, their level of rest, and the lifestyle practices they integrate during this time.
With proper postpartum care, specific foods, and lifestyle practices the new parent emerges from pregnancy and birth feeling strong, full of vitality, balanced, and capable to extend their love to their baby, family, and community. Their cup is full, and they have been nourished and nurtured. With proper support a birthing person can heal ailments and wounds pre-pregnancy, is able to connect and bond with their baby, and find new depth in the relationship with their partner.
The Sacred Window is about far more than just about ensuring that a birther recovers from pregnancy and birth.
It is about providing the space and time to become a parent, to support the transition, and create an opportunity for them to come out on the other side feeling replenished, confident, celebrated, inspired, and ready to thrive as they step into parenthood.
