Ayurvedic Doula
The first 42 days of postpartum care determines mom’s health for the next 42 years.
postpartum care
is preventative care
An Ayudoula is a certified Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula dedicated to caring for mothers during the first six weeks after childbirth.
The process of giving birth increases the ether and air elements (Vata) in the body, resulting from contractions and the empty womb space. This heightened Vata can settle in the body and mind, potentially causing postpartum depression, anxiety, digestive issues, autoimmune conditions, sleep difficulties, and reduced milk production.
Postpartum care soothes Vata, aiding the healing process. Using food as medicine and applying medicated oils strengthens the immune system, supports the mother's recovery, enhances bonding with the baby and family, calms the nervous system, and provides the mother with the rest needed to care for herself and her loved ones for years to come.
Available for delivery throughout San Jose, Silicon Valley, and nearby Bay Area communities.

The Thoughtful Details That Make This Care Unique
Every mother deserves the highest quality support during postpartum. Behind each visit and meal is a great deal of intention, preparation, and tradition:
Fresh linens for each mama — ensuring comfort, cleanliness, and dignity
Organic ingredients, often sourced from local farms — prepared into nourishing meals
Hours of preparation — rolling, chopping, roasting, and cooking with care
Homemade ghee made on the full moon — honoring Ayurveda’s most sacred traditions
Gas and commute time — built in, only charged separately if more than 30 min from downtown San Jose.
Organic, ethically sourced herbs — crafted into teas, medicines, and oils
Traditional Ayurvedic oils — cooked slowly for 12–16 hours in authentic methods
Care infused with love, song, and good energy — because the postpartum window is sacred and mothers need the very best
Wisdom and guidance — from breastfeeding basics to herbal remedies for pain, baby massage for colic and sleep, what to buy (and what you don’t really need), and how to feel confident in your new role
All of this is included in the service — nothing hidden, nothing extra. My care reflects not just the physical work, but the traditions and spirit of Ayurveda, ensuring you are nourished on every level.
💛 My hourly rate for postpartum work is $145/hr, and pricing reflects both this rate and the many materials, preparations, and traditions that make this postpartum care so unique and supportive.
What makes working with me so special…
My path to becoming an Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula began with a deep love for women’s health and a passion for preserving traditional wisdom. I have studied under Dr. Bharat and Anupama Vaidya at Ayurved Sadhana, learning generational knowledge passed down on how to care properly for the birthing mother. This includes the use of herbal remedies, nourishing foods, and healing bodywork that have supported mothers for centuries.
But beyond my training, I am also a mother myself. My own postpartum journey was not easy—I faced gestational diabetes, a complicated birth, and challenges with breastfeeding. Through these struggles, I found Ayurveda’s guidance invaluable, helping me navigate with more ease, patience, and resilience. These experiences shaped me into the doula I am today: one who not only brings traditional knowledge and clinical training, but also lived experience and compassion.
I show up for mothers as a cheerleader and companion—someone who understands the emotional ups and downs, the practical challenges, and the joy of discovering your rhythm with your baby. Because I’m in the season of motherhood myself, I also stay current on the new products, tools, and trends—and can help you figure out what’s truly useful and what you don’t actually need.
My goal is simple: to mother the mother—to help you feel nourished, supported, and seen as you recover, bond with your baby, and step into this new chapter with confidence and care.
