Postpartum care traditions pay a vital role in complete healing of body mind and emotions after birth. Traditional wisdom and ancestral practices offer a wealth of tools and techniques to ease postpartum challenges.
Our traditional care is based on advanced training in postpartum care principles from Ayurveda (Indian system of healing and medicine); TCM (traditional chinese medicine) and indigenous care practices rooted deeply in ancient wisdom as well as over fifteen years of experience caring directly for new mothers and families.
Traditional postpartum care often includes belly binding, mother-oiling, infant massage, yoni steaming, mother-roasting, postnatal yoga, everyday diet and herbs and home-remedies and postnatal or lactation diet guidance.

You can get help with latching, pumping, supply issues, engorgement, clogged ducts DMER, supplementing, going back to work and weaning.
Sleep Faeries
A tangle of conflicting advice in popular culture combined with round the clock biological demands of raising an infant can mean that sleep is an area of struggle for parents needing to ease back into a schedule that is compatible with their career.
Sleep consultants offer hands-on overnight care during the newborn phase so you can begin to recover. They can also be booked when the baby is older to teach you gentle and developmentally appropriate methods to get your family on track with sleep and to get little one/s settled into healthy sleep rhythms

Physical Therapists
Pregnancy and birth can strain the muscles, ligaments, bones and nerves of the abdomen, spine, hips and pelvis. Pelvic Physical Therapists are compassionate and dedicated professionals that bring relief and healing when there is persistent pain or other signs of injury, strain or misalignment postpartum. For both c-section and vaginal births, Pelvic PT’s can be called in for special consults in your own home or in their office.

Women’s Wisdom:
Oh I am grateful to have been loved, and to be loved now, and to be able to love because that liberates. Love liberates. It doesn’t just hold, that’s ego. Love liberates.
Maya Angelou
To make the most of oneself is not to forsake one’s identity as a woman or as a mother…. To come second entirely, to be only mother, maid, cook, wife, is also not to make the most of oneself. One must learn how and when not to bend. It is this, the balance between selflessness and selfishness, that is so difficult, but also, I would like to believe, worthwhile.
