Embark on a journey of remembrance, education, and healing.
The Womb Ways Ayurveda Training is a transformational 9-month program in women’s medicine, womb care, and the birth continuum—rooted in Ayurveda, sacred bodywork, herbalism, ceremony, and community.
Join me and a circle of wise women—online and in person—as we journey into the ancient art of Ayurvedic Women’s Medicine, Birth, Postpartum Care, and Hands-on Healing. This comprehensive training offers authentic Ayurvedic wisdom and practices for womb healing, preconception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond.
Why Ayurveda for the Birthing Continuum
Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, teaches that the elements of nature also live within us, shaping our health of body and mind. For over 5,000 years it has offered a profound approach to preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care—wisdom rooted in ancient wisdom and love.
Ayurveda for Postpartum Healing
In modern culture, postpartum is often equated with depletion and struggle, yet many of these challenges stem from a lack of support. Ayurveda recognizes the postpartum mother as delicate as her newborn, requiring deep nourishment, warmth, and care. With the right container, this time becomes profoundly healing and restorative. The health of the world begins with nourished mothers and thriving families.As we tend the postpartum portal, the entire web of life is strengthened.
