The Journey of becoming a Mother
Aligning body, mind and soul

Here I offer the best of the two worlds: Ayurvedic Support and Birth Preparation. You will be guided in implementing Ayurveda in your daily life with attention to:

​

• Month-wise Nutritional, Herbal and Lifestyle advises to adjust to the changes occurring in pregnancy

• Transmission of self-abhyanga, perineal massage, yoni pichu and breast massage​​

• Postpartum care 

​​

Next to supporting you and your partner in:

• envisioning your birth preferences and connecting with your baby and partner around labor

• laying the foundations for you to make informed choices about labour and postpartum

• exploring how to prepare your body for labor 

​​

This program includes​:

• 3 Doula Wisdom Support Meetings 

• 3 Ayurvedic Guidance Meetings

• 6 video classes to support you in your pregnancy and postpartum journey for you to re-watch every time you need (lifelong access)​

A 4-weeks course for couples at any stage of their pregnancy to prepare for labour, birth and parenthood.

The Yoga and Ayurveda Childbirth Preparation Course is crafted with the intention to support couples to feel empowered, inspired and grounded as they journey towards parenthood.

We’ll lay the foundation for you to work together as a couple in familiarizing yourself with and preparing for labor and birth, and all four trimesters of pregnancy.

The course blends the ‘theory’ of pregnancy and child birth with guided practices, reflections, and sharings coming from Yoga, Ayurveda, Hypnobirthing and Rebozo practices.

Brought to you by Ombretta and Lidewij, both doulas and yoga teachers. Ombretta bringing in the wisdom of Ayurveda, Lidewij her own experience as a mom of two, and through her work as a full spectrum doula and postpartum support doula.
