I’ve had the chance to work with Kaya, and can attest to her 'walking the talk' of yogic lifestyle, especially in a time period as important as creating a family. - Arianna Taboada, Maternal Health Specialist, Yoga Therapist

PreparingIf you are planning a pregnancy we prep you with personalized lifestyle, diet and awareness-based practices to align you with nature and prepare "the field" {your body, mind + reproductive organs} to open the doorway to a new being.
Did you know you inherited your body-mind constitution from your parents, and that the constitution of your child is established in the moment of conception? How cool {and crazy!} is that? |
PregnancyIf you are pregnant we work together through every stage to protect your health, energy levels, sleep, nutrition, and mental state while preparing your body, mind and spirit for a beautiful birth and a healthy and sacred postpartum time.
Did you know that your individual body-mind constitution and the constitution of your baby influences the nature of your pregnancy, birth and postpartum? |
PostpartumPregnancy and birth requires a great deal of fuel. Mama is naturally depleted during the postpartum time. Mother has given a great deal, and nature takes care of baby first. Mama needs a great deal of care and rejuvenation during the postpartum days. Your Māyurveda postpartum plan will be built around protecting you, rejuvenating you, nourishing you, and allowing for time and space for your transition into motherhood to be sacred + deeply supported.
Of all of these stages, Āyurveda truly shines in it's gifts of mothering the mother during the postpartum period, now referred to by many proponents of Mama care as "the Fourth trimester. |
PetitesGain skills that will clarify, enliven and protect your family's health, relationships and spiritual inclinations. A family-based consultation is amazing if you already have children and need some support + inspiration to better understand the different body-mind constitutions in your family for nature-aligned lifestyle, healthier eating {and digestion}, and freedom from the struggle of day-to-day doubt and decision making about health, wellness and food.
Your family is precious. Ayurveda is a means to deeper relationships within your household and of instilling in our children great self-understanding and choice-making skills. |

My Ayurvedic Pregnancy + ParentingI was lucky to have been into yoga + ayurveda pre-pregnancy and to have studied with my dear teacher, a master of women's health and obstetrics in the Ayurveda tradition, Dr. Sarita Shreshtha of Nepal. My knowledge of yogic and Ayurvedic principles and practices {especially the postpartum regimen from Ayurveda} was an enormous boon for my pregnancy, birth, postpartum. As a result, our toddler is very loving and empathetic, rarely sick {knock on wood!} and loves okra and lentils {don't believe me? check it out}. You can easily pick up the tools and teachings of Ayurveda + Yoga at any stage of a pregnancy, from planning to postpartum... the earlier the better, but it is never, ever to late to look to a longstanding tradition for assured guidance. During pregnancy and parenting our family has felt free from the modern socio-pressures we see in other parents. We feel an underlying foundation of support from a longstanding tradition, and free from the need to read every latest book, article and blog about the newest research or trends. It is the same for the Mama's I have worked with through their conception, pregnancies and parenting. We are soothed and guided when we consider... what would our ancestors do... how do long-standing cultures approach this... what is the tried and true wisdom... what is the timeless knowledge that has sustained humanity from mother to child, mother to child? As we cultivate knowledge of classical wisdom, and trust in our own innate inner wisdom, life becomes simple, and choices become natural. ~ Love, Kaya |
