Ayurvedic Postpartum Care

Receive traditional postpartum nourishment and bodywork to restore your body and mind in the first 42 days after birth.

I love supporting mothers in their early postpartum. As a mother of two, I understand how deeply vulnerable those first days, weeks and months after birth can feel.

I am here to cook you delicious postpartum meals that gently rekindle your digestion, harmonise your hormones, rebuild your energy and support breastfeeding. I follow the beautiful wisdom of Ayurveda by focusing on vata pacifying and sattvic foods that are warm, made with mild spices, are mostly vegetarian and cooked using homemade ghee.

As well as bringing you freshly cooked meals, herbal tonics and teas, I offer postpartum abhyanga which is a gentle Ayurvedic massage using warm herbal oils in the comfort of your home, with bub nearby in case they need you. This traditional postpartum practice is revered in Ayurveda as it helps to pacify vata dosha and induce deep relaxation. It is very restorative and brings relief to sore and tired muscles. The warm herbal oils work to purify and strengthen the body after birth.

I serve mothers living on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.

POSTPARTUM ENQUIRY FORM

Postpartum Mumma Love

  • "Beautiful Jess.. Where do I start! In august I birthed my 3rd and final baby. I learned from my first 2 babies that I needed to prioritize my healing for this final chapter. This time around I needed help and I was lucky enough to find Jess. Jess held the most beautiful space for me during my pregnancy. She helped me prepare for my birth with nutritional advice, herbs and Ayurvedic techniques. I had my beautiful baby, and came out the other side empowered, and exhausted. Jess was there to catch me when I got home. She came with herbs, she came with oils, she came with loving hands. She massaged away the tension in my body, she strengthened me with nourishing food and tea, she ran me baths with flowers and salts.. with a warm meal and cookies waiting for me when I emerged. She has the most calming presence. I felt grounded, held, seen and heard in those raw days following birth. I have learned to honor this post partum period for myself, and now understand the importance of my rest and recovery thanks to Jess. She is a gift. I’m so so thankful I found her."

    ~ Elle, mother of three

  • "The nourishment and love Jess was able to pass on to me postpartum was the ultimate gift I could have ever asked for. The way I felt truly seen, held and nurtured especially in the first few tender days after giving birth at home, was something I never knew I was missing and yet now I wouldn't do birth again without. The beautiful Ayurvedic principles that Jess so generously passed on to both myself and my family will stay with us for a lifetime and show my children what it truly looks like for a birthing mother to be held in her rawest form will be passed on to generations to come. My sincerest thanks forever and ever. Thank you, Jess."

    ~ Alice, mother of three

  • “Jess is a true earth angel. She brought delicious and nourishing meals, enough for both my husband and I. I was lucky enough to experience her postpartum abhyangas and the easiest way to describe them is ‘heaven on a stick.’ Like eating the most delicious ice cream in the world, but better. She made my room feel like a sanctuary with her natural sandalwood incense burning and herb infused massage oil. Her intuitive touch made me relax almost to the point of falling asleep. I didn’t want it to end. And when my massage was interrupted several times by my crying newborn, she was so patient and understanding. I honestly cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you for those sacred times, Jess. Every mother deserves to treat herself to this.”

    ~ Amy, mother of two
