“A pregnant woman should be treated very attentively, as if carrying a vessel filled with oil and trying not to agitate.”
CHARAKA SAMHITA, VOLUME 1, CHAPTER VIII
*These consultations are intended to act as a compliment to primary prenatal care with your doctor or midwife, as a holistic supplement to address ways to nourish the pregnancy process through nutrition, lifestyle, and herbal protocols from the medicinal perspective of Āyurveda
Having successfully given birth to my daughter in the comfort of my home and in the private protection of my husband, I am deeply motivated and inspired by the power female bodies hold to create and birth LIFE.
Pregnancy, labor, and birth are nothing short of an immense initiation in which the mother deserves total authority and sovereignty. This powerful force of nature is not something to pathologize, medicalize, or hospitalize, it is a sacred opportunity for which the mother has primary control and dominion.
My intention in supporting women through their pregnancies, is simply to act as WITNESS, and to offer education and complimentary nutrition, lifestyle and herbal support to fill the gaps in primary prenatal care. I will hold the family’s intentions in the forefront and protect this design with my unwavering KNOWING and TRUST in the bodily intelligence of mother and baby.
I do not take this honor lightly and am sincerely humbled to witness and serve mothers through the process of building and allowing the emergence of pure life.
My Āyurvedic training and certification as a Holistic Birth Doula with Whapio Diane Bartlett, greatly serve me in serving women during the period of pregnancy and preparation for birth. Āyurveda lends itself to pregnancy by respecting the natural and instinctive tendencies that arise for the pregnant woman through implementing simple diet and lifestyle transformations which become easeful and productive ways to prepare for the integration of a new life into yours.
