Postpartum & Doula Care

Sevānanda Mātrikā Care

Every birth marks two awakenings, the arrival of a child and the rebirth of a mother. In Āyurveda, the 42-day postpartum window (Sūtikā Kāla) is a sacred period of transformation, rest, and renewal.

At Sevānanda Āyurveda, our Mātrikā Care program honors this sacred passage through Five Rhythms of Healing guiding the mother’s return to strength, warmth, and inner radiance.

In these sacred forty-two days, allow us to mother you so your body may rest, your digestion rekindle, and your heart expand with the strength to mother your newborn.

The Five Rhythms of Mātrikā Care

(Included in every tier frequency and depth vary by program.)

🌿 01. Body Rhythm — Abhyanga & Belly Binding (Earth Element)

What It Is:

The Body Rhythm represents grounding, strength, and stability. Through warm herbal oil therapy (Abhyanga) and traditional belly binding, the mother’s body is gently guided back to alignment after childbirth.

Why It Matters:

After delivery, the body becomes light, spacious, and depleted — a natural expression of increased Vāta dosha (air and space elements). Abhyanga counterbalances this with warmth, oil, and steady rhythm — helping calm the nervous system, improve circulation, tone muscles, and release tension.

What to Expect:

Each session begins with warm oil applied in rhythmic strokes to the entire body using herbal oils specific to your constitution. Following Abhyanga, gentle belly binding supports posture, realigns the hips, and maintains internal warmth.

It’s deeply relaxing — many mothers describe it as the moment they finally exhale.

Included per tier:

• Soma: 06 sessions (01x weekly)

• Amṛta: 12 sessions (02x weekly)

• Shakti: 18 sessions (03x weekly + optional steam or Udar Abhyanga)

🔥 02. Food Rhythm — Ayurvedic Nutrition & Meal Support (Fire Element)

What It Is:

This rhythm represents digestive fire, nourishment, and renewal. We prepare freshly cooked Ayurvedic meals designed to support recovery, enhance milk production, and stabilize mood and energy.

Why It Matters:

Ayurveda teaches that healing begins with Agni — the digestive fire. After childbirth, digestion weakens, and the body needs warm, oily, spiced, and easy-to-digest food to rebuild tissues (Dhātu), strengthen immunity (Ojas), and balance hormones.

What to Expect:

Meals are prepared with organic ingredients and Ayurvedic herbs like turmeric, fennel, cumin, and ajwain.

Expect soothing dishes such as mung dal kitchari, rice porridge, and nourishing broths — lightly spiced to restore warmth and digestion.

You’ll also receive guidance on meal timing, family-friendly recipes, and a postpartum pantry setup so your household can continue Ayurvedic eating beyond our visits.

Included per tier:

• Soma: 02 deliveries (foundational meals + education)

• Amṛta: 05 deliveries (custom menus + pantry setup)

• Shakti: 07 deliveries (full meal rotation + daily nourishment planning)

💧 03. Herb Rhythm — Herbal Support & Plant Medicine (Water Element)

What It Is:

This rhythm embodies rejuvenation, fluidity, and hormonal balance. We use Ayurvedic herbs, teas, and tonics to promote lactation, energy, and deep rest.

Why It Matters:

The postpartum body undergoes hormonal shifts and emotional sensitivity. Herbs like Shatavari, Ashwagandha, and Vidari Kand restore vitality, while digestive blends of Cumin–Fennel–Coriander (CFC) soothe the gut. Herbal medicine in Ayurveda nourishes from the inside out — gently yet powerfully.

What to Expect:

You’ll receive customized herbal teas, ghee elixirs, and tinctures tailored to your body type and postpartum needs. These blends may support milk flow, digestion, emotional calm, and immunity.

Each tier increases in depth — from foundational teas to full Rasāyana rejuvenation formulas.

Included per tier:

• Soma: Foundational tea blend + herbal guidance

• Amṛta: Teas + ghee elixirs + daily herbal tonics

• Shakti: Complete herbal kit + lactation blends + personalized Rasāyana formula mid-program

🌬 04. Heart Rhythm — Energy & Emotional Restoration (Air Element)

What It Is:

The Heart Rhythm represents breath, emotion, and energy flow. Through gentle Reiki or guided meditation, this rhythm calms the mind, rebalances Prāṇa, and reawakens inner peace.

Why It Matters:

After childbirth, mothers often feel emotionally raw, anxious, or overstimulated. Ayurveda views this as a natural consequence of Vāta imbalance — an overactive mind and scattered energy.

Heart Rhythm sessions guide mothers back into the body’s stillness, where rest and clarity can return.

What to Expect:

Sessions may include Reiki energy healing, guided Seva meditation, gentle breathwork, or sound (mantra) therapy.

Mothers often experience deeper sleep, calmer emotions, and a renewed connection to themselves and their baby.

Included per tier:

• Soma: 01 session

• Amṛta: 02 sessions (early & mid-program)

• Shakti: 03 sessions (opening, midpoint, closing)

🌸 05. Wisdom Rhythm — Education & Integration (Ether Element)

What It Is:

The Wisdom Rhythm represents clarity, awareness, and continuity. It’s where the mother learns to sustain her care beyond the 42-day journey — integrating Ayurvedic self-care, family rhythms, and gentle home routines.

Why It Matters:

Ayurveda is a lifestyle of awareness. Teaching mothers how to continue nourishing themselves at home prevents burnout, depression, and depletion. Empowerment is the final act of healing.

What to Expect:

Each session includes personalized education for the mother (and partner, if present). You’ll learn practical routines — such as self-Abhyanga, meal timing, herbal use, gentle movement, and how to set emotional and energetic boundaries.

In advanced tiers, this also includes infant care training and post-42-day continuation plans.

Included per tier:

• Soma: 01 postpartum self-care & family support session

• Amṛta: Partner education + nutritional rhythm guidance

• Shakti: Partner & infant Abhyanga training + home ritual plan + post-program guidance
