Begin Your 2026 Calling in Conscious Postpartum Care
Classes Begin on October 20th with our Growing Your Practice Module, a deep dive into the art of crafting a Conscious Care Business that is unique, sustainable and an authentic expression of your gifts and calling.
The Conscious Postpartum Care Certification is a comprehensive training that prepares heart-led women to become skilled, embodied caregivers who honor the sacred postpartum window through the lens of Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles.
This is not simply a skills-based program—it's a transformative journey that weaves together ancient wisdom and modern application, personal healing and professional development, practical techniques and deep inner work.
Students learn hands-on Ayurvedic practices like abhyanga massage and other Ayurvedic postpartum healing body therapies, herbal preparations, and nourishing postpartum meals, while simultaneously exploring their own postpartum stories and cultivating the presence, intuition, and compassion that conscious care requires.
The certification includes one year of live online classes, recorded content and a robust student website for flexibility, a 6-day immersive retreat for embodied practice (optional), business mentoring to help you create offerings that honor your unique gifts, and lifelong membership in a global community of aligned caregivers.
Live online classes are held on Tuesdays at 11am eastern US and run 1-2 hours. Recordings are always available and are emailed weekly as well as housed in the student website.
Graduates leave not only certified and confident in their skills, but deeply connected to their purpose, supported by sisterhood, and equipped to serve families in ways that prioritize rest, nourishment, and healing over hustle—transforming both the postpartum experience for the families they serve and their own relationship to meaningful, soul-aligned work.

If you feel called… but hesitant… that is sacred.
“I don’t feel qualified.”
Your lived experience is not a limitation — it is the medicine.
“I don’t know if I have time.”
This program is intentionally slow, rhythmic, and designed for mothers, caregivers, and working individuals.
“I don’t know which path is right.”
The Whole Path is the deepest embodiment.
The Online Certification is a beautiful, grounded beginning.
Both allow you to honor who you are now.
“I’m unsure about the financial commitment.”
You begin with one payment — and receive generous access and support right away.

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.

FAQ
We welcome new students at the start of each of our main modules in the year long cycle, allowing you to step into your studies during a season that honors where you are in life. Visit our 2026 Live Class Schedule Here. Live classes are held at 11am eastern time on Tuesdays and run between one and two hours. Replays are always emailed weekly and recordings are housed in the student website for students who cannot attend live.
This training is designed to move at the pace of life, not against it. We honor slowness, integration, and the reality that deep learning unfolds gradually—never rushed, always held. If a life event requires you to pause, we will work with you to finish in the time that supports you best.
Live classes are 1-2 hours and easily recorded for your rhythm. Students consistently share that the program feels doable, like the perfect balance of depth and spaciousness, meeting you exactly where you are. We recommend a total of 4-6 hours per week to fully engage and embody what you are learning.
Our 6-day hands-on skills training is an immersive journey held in a beautiful natural setting, where you'll practice abhyanga, cook postpartum meals, and gather in circle with your sisters. This is embodied learning—not just instruction, but true transformation through touch, nourishment, and presence. Our 2026 Retreat Dates are July 23 - 28th and the event will be held at the Montague Retreat Center in western Massachusetts. Learn More About the Retreat Here.
If you begin with our Online Certification and feel called to deepen through hands-on experience, you can upgrade to The Whole Path at any time. We welcome you to follow your own unfolding, trusting that the right pathway will reveal itself. We cannot guarantee availability at the in person training retreat as space is limited.
If you decide within 2 weeks that this program is not for you, we will compassionately withdraw you from the program minus a $50 administrative fee. If you are beyond the 2 weeks we are able to apply your tuition to one of our other programs or a future program date. Retreat refunds are not available but are transferrable to other programs or retreats in the future.
Our Work Study Scholarship Program offers significantly reduced tuition in exchange for your gifts, time, and collaborative spirit over 6-12 months. This is for passion-driven students ready to contribute to our collective mission while receiving the training their hearts long for.
As a Certified Conscious Postpartum Caregiver, you'll offer nourishing meals, restorative abhyanga (postpartum massage), education rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom, and the sacred gift of your grounded, compassionate presence. This is non-medical caregiving that honors the whole person—body, heart, and spirit—during the transformative postpartum window. This is a doula scope of practice, and you will not be diagnosing, prescribing, or offering any type of medical recommendation. Depending on the laws in your state or location, you will identify a safe and legal range of services for Ayurvedic body practices.
All students, regardless of program type, are welcomed into our student and alumni community, which offers you free continuing education, monthly community online meetups, and access to instructor and community support when you need it as you practice this sacred work. All students and alumni are welcomed for free to our guest lectures, of which there are 6-8 new classes each year. In addition, you do not lose access to your student website and will be able to benefit from the resources and teachings within as you develop and grow your practice.
Your next chapter is already reaching for you.
Whether you choose The Whole Path or begin gently online,
you are stepping into a lineage of care, remembrance, and feminine wisdom.
