You're here because you want to learn about Ancient Ayurvedic Postpartum Care and how you can use it to care for mothers after birth and beyond.
You want to know more about Ayurvedic nutrition & herbs specific to the postpartum period, the benefits and practical application of belly binding and warm oil massage but you want to make sure you’re getting the right guidance from someone who is experienced.
Perhaps you don’t know where to start though and if the philosophy and practices are even relevant to the mothers of today.
You want real practical tools that you can implement right away to optimise the healing and recovery of mothers after childbirth plus you want ongoing support and guidance as every mothers experience and needs are unique.
In modern times we have lost the ancient art of caring for newborn mothers. As a result we now have unacceptable high rates of postnatal depression and anxiety with many mothers feeling isolated and alone during what is meant to be a sacred time and rite of passage.
This is why I created ‘Ayurveda for Motherhood’, a practical course that gives you instant tools that you can start using straight away in your care for mothers plus on yourself and loved ones after childbirth.
In traditional cultures around the world, postpartum care and nurturing new mothers is considered to be essential to the fabric of the community. They understand that when a mother is cared for then she is better equipped to care for her family and therefore all of society benefits from the care of the mother.
''A new mother should be treated with oil massage, warm baths, a specific diet and herbal drinks that prevent infection, promote vitality and alleviate vata'' - Charaka Samita (Ancient Indian Text)
The Ayurvedic texts describe the four pillars of postpartum care with great detail and practical tools for helping mothers to heal and recover from childbirth including postpartum diet, herbal medicine and bodywork such as belly binding and oil massage for supporting the mother through the first forty days and beyond.
In this online course, you will receive:
- Self paced video modules
