Pathway 1: Private Antenatal Bundle
A curated masterclass tailored to your birth path. Virtual or at BLISS (SW10 9EW).
This immersive journey offers an intimate, focused exploration of birth through a dedicated doula and nervous system lens. Together, we map the psychological and physical transition of your childbearing month.
Part I: The Threshold & The Golden Hour (1 x 120 Minutes)
A study of the profound transition from the third to the fourth trimester. We explore the emotional and physiological architecture of labour, placing emphasis on the golden hour and attachment theory. A core focus is building fluency in your mind-body connection: learning to interpret your body’s signals calmly so you can confidently articulate your physical and emotional terrain to your loved ones and clinical team.
Part II: Somatic Readiness (1 x 60 Minutes — Tailored to Your Delivery Path)
ღ For vaginal delivery: A rhythmic session of collaborative movement, birth mapping, and targeted breathwork to prepare the pelvis and nervous system for the physical waves of labour.
ღ For planned caesarean: A preparatory session to anchor the mind and settle the nervous system for a supportive transition. We explore pre-operative nervous system anchoring, scar-healing massage techniques and timing, and gentle pelvic floor yoga combined with breathwork to support optimal lymphatic drainage. The focus is on preparing the mind to shift from "doing" to "receiving" in the first fifteen days, setting an honest foundation for rest.
*The Ritual Additions: Each pathway includes a collection of remedies to anchor your recovery. This features a hand-blended Belly Blessing Oil to massage onto your skin during the three nights prior to birth, alongside an organic Ayurvedic post-op tea and a jar of traditional Spiced Ghee to nourish your spirit and support your body while you heal.
Part III: The Matrescence Blueprint (1 x 90 Minutes)
A dedicated session mapping the immense psychological transformation of early parenthood. We explore the architecture of matrescence for the mother, alongside a space for your birth partner to process the shifting relational terrain. Together, we quiet the noise and design a practical, harmonious blueprint for your new daily rhythms as a family.

••• What to expect from Āyurvedic Doula Care? •••
The Foundation of Care
Translated from Sanskrit as the Science of Life, Āyurveda is a living, ancient lineage from South East India, that views the human vessel as an extension of the natural world. It operates on the absolute truth that your body already possesses an inherent intelligence, that must be intensely protected during the entire childbearing year, as your living tissues are actively splitting to build a new life while your elemental stability (Vata) remains open to fluctuation.
Somatic Readiness
A physical framework rooted in an ancient understanding of the body’s natural intelligence and rhythms. Through rhythmic, collaborative movement, birth mapping, and targeted breathwork, we support the anatomical and energetic shifts of your childbearing month. For those on a surgical path, this layer shifts to intentional nervous system anchoring: preparing the mind to transition smoothly from the state of active doing to a space of quiet receiving, setting an honest foundation for rest.
The Living Ritual of Bodywork
Hands-on care that operates as a dedicated container for physical realignment. Drawing upon the unbroken oral and textual traditions of maternal care, this practice integrates Ayurvedic Doula Massage, traditional waist-wrapping (Kati Bandhana), and the marma map for birth-preparation. Every movement respects your unique constitution (Prakriti), delivering deep cellular nourishment and dissolving tension before and after birth.
Consciousness & Manas {Mind} Preparation
Work towards quietening of mental fluctuations (Chitta Vritti) to allow your inherent intelligence to shine through. Through Birth Nidra (an intimate audio collection of traditional Yoga Nidra) awareness moves softly into the subtle channels of the mind (Manovaha Srotas). By nurturing Sattva (clarity) and steadying the downward winds of Vata, a dedicated intention (Sankalpa) is planted within the deep subconscious. This sacred seed naturally readies the mind for a positive birth outcome, guiding your awareness inward so you can rest completely in your ancestral wisdom when it is time to birth.
The Matrescence Blueprint & Sacred Fourth
An intentional holding of the immense neurobiological transformation of early motherhood. Matrescence dramatically reshapes your neurostructure, creating a deeply porous state of heightened sensitivity. Āyurveda explains this as an acute vacancy within the channels of the mind (Manovaha Srotas), where empty space leaves the vital winds of Vata highly volatile. My practice directly anchors this neural opening through specific, lipid-rich postpartum nourishment and grounding sensory rituals. By steadying these subtle currents, this traditional framework allows the mind to settle and remain deeply insulated as you step through this profound psychological threshold.
The Wisdom of Oshadhi {Plant Medicine}
The application of advanced Vedic pharmacology (Sugandhi Dravya) to anchor your internal rhythm throughout matrescence. Completely whole-plant and free from synthetic fixatives, isolation chemicals, or commercial fillers, each formula is hand-blended upon purchase using wild-crafted plants, ceremony-grade herbal blends, and traditional spiced ghees. These raw formulas serve as authentic sensory tools to soothe the exact pathway where your breath meets active awareness.

Vedic Sciences + Perinatal & Family Somatic Practitioner
Dip.Ayu, Clinical Aromatherapist, Member of the College of Medicine and Integrated Health, CNHC reg.
Dedicated to: Āyurvedic Mother-Baby Care, Botanical formulation and Neurosomatic Alignment
After Āyurveda healed my mind-body relationship and deeply restored my connection to my womb ~ and by extension, the Śakti that flows within ~ over a decade ago, I decided to immerse myself in this living, ancient wisdom tradition with foundational lineage-holders such as Dr Vasant Lad, Dr K.P. Khalsa, and Mother Maya Tiwari. My devotion to birthwork was sparked when I came across the pioneering work of Terra Rafaël, a retired homebirth midwife who mentored me throughout my foundational years as a doula and continues to inspire my practice daily.
Today, my practice centers the family as a collective nervous system, integrating Vedic sciences to support the whole of the home. Through individual and partner somatic therapies, medical acupuncture, marma, clinical aromatherapy, prāṇāyāma (breathing), and āsana (posture), I guide the mind-body toward deep physiological rest. This is supported by tailored botanical formulations, carefully prescribed alongside the guidance of their primary physician.
