Nurturing the Postpartum Season
Thoughtfully designed support for recovery, hormone balance, and rebuilding strength after birth
“Working with Eliza was truly life-changing. She provided the perfect balance of support, knowledge, and compassion. She took the time to understand our nutritional preferences and guided us through every step of the postpartum process. Her food is delicious, and her care is invaluable, offering both emotional support and practical advice. I couldn’t have imagined going through this journey without her. Eliza is an extraordinary doula, and we’re forever grateful for her.”

“Eliza was an absolute blessing during my postpartum journey. Her Ayurvedic meals and teas were not only nourishing but also brought so much comfort to my healing body. The oil massages and belly binding made me feel cared for and restored in ways I never expected. But most of all, it was her unlimited support and understanding that made an incredible impact on my experience as a new mom. I truly don't know how I would have navigated those early weeks without her. Eliza is a gift to any new mother, and I am forever grateful for her kindness and expertise!”

3 Week & 6 Week Offerings
Belly Binding
A traditional postpartum wrap that supports core recovery, eases lower back discomfort, and helps mothers feel physically supported and grounded during healing.
Ideal for women in the first 42 days after birth, whether recovering from vaginal or cesarean delivery, as well as those experiencing core weakness, diastasis recti, or seeking additional abdominal and back support as their body rebuilds strength.
Closing Of the Bones Cerimony
Closing of the Bones is a traditional postpartum ceremony designed to honor a mother’s transition after birth. Through warm oil massage, gentle rebozo wrapping, and intentional space holding, the body is carefully supported, the womb acknowledged, and the nervous system invited into rest.
This ritual offers an opportunity to integrate the birth experience, release stored emotion, and restore a sense of wholeness and containment. It is a moment to be witnessed, supported, and deeply cared for.
Whether weeks, months, or years after giving birth, this ceremony can provide meaningful healing
Our botanical blends are intentionally formulated with whole plant ingredients to offer natural support for recovery, hormonal balance, and nervous system regulation. Whether sipped or steeped into warm water, each preparation transforms a simple ritual into meaningful care, grounded in traditional herbal wisdom and designed to nourish the body with depth and intention.
