Ayurvedic Postpartum Care: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Doulas
Join Postpartum Ayurvedic Doula, Mikka Bonel, for an immersive exploration of postpartum care through the time-honored lens of Ayurveda. As Doulas, we know that the postpartum period is sacred—a window of profound transformation that sets the foundation for lifelong health and well-being. Ayurveda, yoga's sister science, offers a roadmap for this journey, using daily practices, nurturing touch, and intentional nourishment to support deep restoration and healing.
In this workshop, you'll discover how Ayurvedic wisdom can enrich and deepen the care you provide to birthgivers during their fourth trimester and beyond.
What You'll Learn:

• The Foundational Principles of Ayurveda – Understand the core concepts of Ayurveda and how they specifically apply to postpartum recovery, including the importance of warmth, rest, and rebuilding vital energy (ojas)
• The Four Pillars of Postpartum Care – Explore the traditional framework that guides comprehensive Ayurvedic postpartum support and restoration
• Practical Integration Strategies – Discover how to weave Ayurvedic practices and principles into your unique approach to Doula care
• Essential Foods, Teas & Topicals – Learn about the most commonly used ingredients in postpartum recovery, from warming spices and nourishing broths to healing herbal teas and therapeutic oils for massage

This workshop bridges ancient tradition with modern practice, giving you practical tools to support the birthing people in your care with even greater depth, intention, and cultural wisdom.

Dessert and tea will be provided (dinner not included - feel free to bring your own food).
