Postpartum Coaching

You need TIME to rest, to replenish, to recover.

As a mother of two, I've experienced the postpartum period as both a beautiful and demanding journey. Sleepless nights and a lack of outside support only amplify the challenges. With the wisdom I now possess about the significance of this healing phase for both mother and baby, I would have approached it quite differently. A well-organized plan—encompassing nourishing meals, intentional healing practices, supportive herbal allies, and a reliable support system—would have eased the entire experience and set a gentler tone for the years that followed.

Our society often overlooks the profound importance of this sacred period. It is a priceless opportunity for a new family to bond, adapt, and grow together, whether welcoming your first child or your fourth.

Ayurvedic postpartum care is a deeply nurturing and restorative approach designed to support both mother and baby during the transformative period after birth. Known as the "42-day sacred window," this time is considered vital for healing, bonding, and laying the foundation for long-term health.

In Ayurveda, childbirth is seen as a Vata-dominant event, leaving the mother in a state of imbalance. To restore harmony, Ayurveda applies the Four Pillars of Health: Rest, Diet, Herbs, and Body Care.

  • Experience a nurturing approach to postpartum recovery with Ayurveda’s time-honored wisdom. This consultation guides new mothers in rekindling their digestive fire (Agni) after birth and restoring balance through warm, nourishing, and easy-to-digest foods. Detailed meal plans for the first seven days postpartum will include recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Milk tonics, and herbal teas to support lactation and soothe the nervous system are also provided.

  • Gentle Ayurvedic remedies help accelerate healing, strengthen the uterus, and promote overall well-being. The first 42 days after birth are a sacred time for rest and rejuvenation—learn best practices to foster emotional grounding, deepen the mother-baby bond through mindful presence, and embrace skin-to-skin connection.

  • Restore vitality and move excess Vata through holistic rituals, including Abhyanga (warm oil massage), Pranayama, herbal baths, Basti, and belly binding to nurture the body and mind.

  • Address common postpartum concerns naturally—whether it’s constipation, hemorrhoids, mastitis, colic, or diaper rash—with Ayurvedic wisdom.

  • By honoring this profound transition, Ayurveda empowers mothers to regain strength, balance their energies, and embark on a harmonious journey with their newborn.

“Postpartum is a time for complete rejuvenation of a woman’s physical, mental, and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn. The first forty-two days after birth set the stage for the next forty-two years of a woman’s life. “Ysha Oakes
