Mothering the Mother

Postnatal Care

Holistic postpartum care blending Ayurvedic principles and Mediterranean traditions to support mothers in healing, bonding, and thriving after childbirth.

Becoming a mother is one of life’s most transformative experiences, but it can also feel overwhelming. After giving birth, your body and mind need time to heal, and you deserve support that truly honors this transition.

My postnatal care is all about holding you gently during this sacred time, blending traditional wisdom with a warm, personal touch to help you feel nurtured and restored.

In many cultures, the postpartum period is seen as a time for rest, nourishment, and care. I draw inspiration from these traditional perspectives, particularly from Ayurvedic principles, which emphasize warmth, healing, and balance. Ayurveda teaches that when a mother is cared for, her whole family benefits. I weave these principles into my care, blending them with the flavors and traditions of Mediterranean cuisine and culture.
With its focus on fresh, wholesome ingredients and meals prepared with love, the Mediterranean approach beautifully complements postpartum healing, providing nourishment for your body and comfort for your soul.

I aim to create a space where you can recover, bond with your baby, and feel supported in every way possible.

What You Can Expect

When we work together, it’s not just about meeting practical needs—it’s about truly caring for you.

Here’s how I can support you:

Practical Support

Sometimes, the little things can feel like the biggest challenges when you are adjusting to life with a newborn. I can help with cooking, light cleaning, grocery trips, and even watching your little one so you can grab a much-needed nap or shower. Let me take care of the everyday tasks, so you can focus on what matters most—resting and bonding with your baby.

Emotional Support

Motherhood is a whirlwind of emotions, and it’s okay to feel all of them. I’m here to listen—really listen. Whether you’re feeling joy, exhaustion, doubt, or a mix of everything, I’ll hold space for you without judgment. We’ll talk about the changes you’re navigating, your baby’s needs, and what feels right for you as a new mother.

Physical Support

Your body has done something extraordinary and deserves to be cared for with love and respect. I offer nurturing services like gentle massages, yoni steaming (from six weeks postpartum), foot baths, belly binding, and Reiki. These practices promote healing and relaxation, helping you feel more centered and cared for.

Rituals for Closure

I also offer traditional postnatal rituals, such as the closing-the-bones ceremony. This beautiful practice, done with care and intention, helps you feel grounded and supported after childbirth. It’s a way of honoring your body and the incredible journey you’ve been through.

Nourishing Foods

Food is medicine, especially in the postpartum period. Drawing on both Ayurvedic principles and Mediterranean culinary traditions, I’ll help you with meal plans that are comforting, healing, and tailored to your needs. Think of warm, easy-to-digest dishes that restore your energy and support your recovery while bringing the comforting flavors of the Mediterranean to your table.

Why This Matters

The postpartum period isn’t about “bouncing back” or meeting external expectations—it’s about honoring yourself as a mother and as a person. The services I provide are rooted in the belief that when a mother is cared for, her whole family thrives. You deserve this time to rest, heal, and connect with your baby, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

If you’re curious about how I can help or want to chat more about your needs, don’t hesitate to reach out. The first meeting is always free, and it’s a chance for us to connect and explore how I can support you.

You’re not alone in this—you’ve got someone in your corner, ready to help make this transition into motherhood as smooth and joyful as possible!
