An Ayurveda Postpartum Doula combines traditional postpartum wisdom with modern, practical support. At Nurture, our postpartum doulas provide in-home postpartum support in Cincinnati and surrounding areas, offering care that centers you, not just your baby.

This is not about doing more — it’s about being held while your body and nervous system integrate the massive transition of birth.

After birth, the placenta is often treated as an afterthought — something quietly discarded once its job is “done.” But emerging research is telling a very different story: the placenta holds powerful information about pregnancy, birth, and long-term health for both parent and baby.

In fact, physician-scientists are now calling for placental evaluation to become a routine part of obstetric and neonatal care, not just something reserved for emergencies.

At Nurture, our team of doulas believes that postpartum care is not just recovery — it’s sacred renewal. Recently, a few of our doulas (and I!) have begun training to become Postpartum Ayur-Doulas — doulas who specialize in Ayurvedic practices for the postpartum period.
