A postpartum doula provides emotional, physical, and practical support during the fourth trimester, which is the first few weeks after birth. My role is to help you rest, recover, and bond with your baby by offering nurturing care, nourishing meals, gentle newborn guidance, and holistic support. With Beyond Bump Mamas, this support is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, honoring your unique healing journey.

Ayurvedic care is based on ancient healing principles from India that prioritize warmth, rest, and nourishment after birth. In practice, this means warm oil massage, grounding rituals, gentle herbal teas and foods, and space for emotional integration. While traditional doulas may help with newborn care or basic recovery, I focus on healing your whole being using traditional cultural wisdom tailored to postpartum wellness.

Yes! I offer virtual consultations, postpartum planning sessions, and guidance around Ayurvedic nutrition and healing practices for families outside my in-person service area. This is a beautiful way to receive personalized support wherever you are.

I may be able to accommodate you or offer virtual options.

Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta after birth by steaming, dehydrating, and grinding it, then placing it into capsules for consumption. Many parents choose this practice to support energy levels, mood balance, milk production, and hormonal recovery during the postpartum period. It's an ancient tradition used in cultures around the world, and one I approach with respect and cleanliness.

While scientific research is still limited, thousands of families share from personal experiences that placenta capsules help: Balance postpartum hormones Reduce the risk of baby blues or mood swings Support milk supply Boost iron levels Enhance postpartum energy Every body is different, but many parents feel that it contributes to a more gentle postpartum recovery.

I offer the Traditional Chinese Method (TCM), where the placenta is gently steamed with warming herbs (I use ginger, lemon, and a bit of jalapeno) before dehydration. This method aligns beautifully with Ayurvedic principles focusing on warmth, nourishment and gentle care for your body's healing.

Beyond using the Traditional Chinese Medicine method for preparing your placenta capsules, I also use the most natural process possible to maximize your healing benefits. Here are some steps I take to do so: Only using vegan, unflavored capsules: to keep what's going in your body clean. Not using unnecessary plastics in the steaming, dehydrating or encapsulating process. Avoiding use of any unnatural dyes or flavoring in your placenta prints or capsules. I am committed to providing you the cleanest capsules to protect your health and healing. I carefully follow food safety guidelines for additional safety and care.

Spend the day prior to my arrival completing the journal prompts, reflecting on your postpartum chapter thus far, and staying in your cocoon away from the outside world. Enjoy nourishing whole foods and warm meals. Create comfort, warmth and calm in your space. Wear comfortable clothes, let household tasks wait for later and allow yourself to fully receive and be present. I will bring everything else we need for your comfort and healing in this beautiful ceremony.

A postpartum closure ceremony is a gentle, sacred ritual to honor your birth journey and support emotional and energetic integration.

Absolutely. You can book a single 4-hour postpartum visit for $300, which includes personalized care, gentle support, and Ayurvedic nourishment.
