Newborn Mothercare for 40 Days
AyurDoula Care: Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula - Kirkland, Redmond, Bothell
Pregnancy Massage, Postpartum Planning + Postpartum Mother & Baby Massage
Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old healing tradition, that acknowledges the journey to becoming a mother is a great transition. As with all transitions, something has to give way in order to make space for something else, making the first 6 weeks after childbirth a very fragile and sensitive time for both mother and baby; physically, spiritually and emotionally.
Today, we tend to focus more on the pregnancy and birth experience and less on how the time will look in the hours, days and weeks after childbirth.
A period of confinement after childbirth is encouraged by many traditional cultures, usually lasting around 40 days. During this time, the new mama will rest in bed, receive massages, have healing food brought to her, along with certain herbs to aid in the healing process. This allows her to focus on physical recovery, emotional connection with her sensitive newborn and to establish successful breastfeeding.
This period of rest and rejuvenation is absolutely vital to a full and successful recovery, but unfortunately many of us don't come with a village of support who understands the sensitivity and needs during this delicate transition. My role as a your postpartum doula is to provide multi-faceted support to you and your family so that this transformational time can be a treasured and nurtured experience!
Prenatal - Postpartum HealthCare - Ayurvedic Traditions
Abhyanga helps to clarify the mind and stimulate the body. Warm oil specifically formulated for the client is applied to the body with rhythmic gentle strokes. Abhyanga does not penetrate the deep tissue of the body. It is meant to nourish the body with repetitive touch; promoting healthy circulation and aids in joint comfort. Blissful pregnancy massage & postpartum healing.
Massage for Baby
Allow me to teach the art of warm oil application for baby. This application of oil can be given as early as birth day and repeated twice each day for as long as bebe will allow. From time to time, I will offer a group workshop in Kirkland, Redmond or Bothell.
