Certifying and Supporting Professionals in Conscious Postpartum Caregiving
Conscious Postpartum Care Certification
The largest curriculum expansion in our history begins September 8
We Start With A Deeper Path Into Postpartum Bodywork
For years, our postpartum bodywork training lived in a single section. This year, we've given it the room it always deserved. We've redesigned it into three full sections, with roughly three times the instruction, hands-on practice, and time to make this work truly your own. It's the difference between learning a sequence and trusting your hands with a real mother in her tender early weeks.
We are honoring this depth by sharing our full hands on training bodywork materials with students in the Conscious Postpartum Care Certification.
Enroll now to begin at the most hands-on, confidence-building place in our certification, and to join our September 8 cohort.
Three Times the Training
Bodywork expanded from one section into three: more practice, more depth, more time to build real confidence in your touch.
Bonus hands on training materials to support your learning.
Same Tuition
We tripled the body work curriculum and kept tuition exactly the same, because the work deserved more room, not a higher price.
Receive deeper integration and expanded resources.

More Thoughts from our Students
I’ve learned so much from you in terms of how you teach—the pacing of the class, the way you presented the material with so much openness and groundedness, I felt supported but not overwhelmed; hopeful; empowered. I’m so tremendously grateful for you and the work you’re doing 🙏 thank you.
-Fall 2023 Student
I feel so grateful for the documents and PDF's that you shared with us. For example, the client evaluation form, or the grocery shopping form, or the kitchen organization form - I can't express enough how helpful all of these are. They are truly a gift for all of us who are just beginning our practice. These resources will help us start with so much more ease
-Claudia, 2020 Student
My biggest takeaway was increased confidence in my intuition + caregiving skills. Heightened awareness of the subtle energies around me, stronger attunement to the elements as they present and continuously change. Ayurvedic caregiving is all about maintaining balance: the right thing at the right time, for each person. This course was exactly that for me. Thank you.
Lynnea, 2020 Student
This retreat was so unexpectedly deeply nourishing. I've been to a few retreats lately, and this one has been the most nourishing because of the clear level of care that went into it as well as the close knit community of wonderful, wise women that was formed. I was able to experience the arc of postpartum cooking over the six weeks within the meals. It felt like a life changing experience, truly, so beautifully facilitated and so much love within the group- I feel revitalized and excited about postpartum care!
-Abigail Shapiro, 2024 Student
Wow. The overall feelings about this retreat experience for me is LOVE. I feel so much love. I feel so connected to all women, present past and future. I feel connected to the maternal lineage of mine, and others. The retreat was perfect. It was so feminine, and flowy, yet so deeply intentional. Every single detail of the retreat plan was perfect. I feel so full on life. It was a true Ayurvedic immersion. I was on the receiving end of a lot of the work I do for others, it felt soooo nourishing.
Coco Genevieve, 2024 Student
This retreat was profound. From an intellectual and professional perspective it was densely packed with information, well coordinated, joyfully implemented and incredibly comfortable/ Beyond that this embodiment retreat transcended any concept of my expectations. I experienced deep healing, which required me to spontaneously experience long-buried grief and trauma as it worked it way through my being to be expressed and transformed. I was held in such a sacred way I was able to step fully into the healing and allow the release to flow. Truly, words escape the impact this gathering provided my future and those I will care for.
