Ayurvedic Postnatal Care

Increasingly, modern research is proving that which traditional wisdom has always held true. Let the ancient healing practices of Ayurveda nurture your postnatal body and mind.

I offer restorative, in-home care for new mothers and birthing people, drawing on ancient wisdom and the nourishing power of touch, ritual, and warmth. Rooted in the 5,000-year-old healing system of Ayurveda, my postnatal treatments are designed to help you rest deeply, recover gently, and feel supported in body and mind.

Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth, a caesarean, or an assisted birth, my offerings are tailored to your unique recovery journey. You are worthy of care, comfort, and nourishment.

What is Ayurvedic Postnatal Care?

In Ayurveda, the postpartum period is considered a sacred window — a time of vulnerability and potential. After birth, the body is seen as depleted of warmth, energy (ojas), and internal balance. Without proper care, this can lead to fatigue, anxiety, poor digestion, and longer recovery.

Traditional postnatal practices are designed to rebuild strength, restore warmth, and bring stability to the nervous system. These include:

  • Abhyanga – full-body warm herbal oil massage to calm vata, soothe muscles, and nourish tissues

  • Belly Binding – gentle wrapping of the abdomen to provide support, containment, and grounding

  • Herbal Baths or Yoni Steams – using traditional herbs to soothe the pelvic area and support healing

  • Ayurvedic Nutrition – warm, spiced, easy-to-digest meals that support digestion, milk production, and energy

My Training & Background

I began my journey with Ayurveda in 2009 during a stay in India, where I first experienced its transformative approach to healing. I later trained in Ayurvedic Postnatal Massage and Care at the School of Ayurveda and Panchakarma in Kerala, and have also studied directly with herbalists and medicine-making women in an Ayurvedic hospital setting, where I tended to over 100 varieties of healing plants.

Alongside this, I bring years of experience as an NHS nurse and certified postnatal doula, integrating both modern medical knowledge and traditional systems of care.
