Frequently asked questions
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.
Each in-person visit (typically up to 4 hours) is tailored to your needs and may include:
Ayurvedic meal preparation
Herbal tea, bath or yoni steam setup
Oil massage or warming therapies
Emotional processing and space-holding
Newborn care support
Light household help
