Postpartum Care for the First 42 Days and Beyond
Honor your body as Blessed Vessel
Your postpartum season is not a time to “bounce back.” It is a sacred window—a profound initiation—when your body softens, your heart opens, and you are most deserving of deep nourishment and unwavering support. Too often, mothers are left under-supported or unprepared for the gravitas of this season. You do not need to be one of them.
At The Blessed Vessel, I help mothers slow down, restore their vitality, and feel held during one of the most tender thresholds of their lives.
Rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom and traditional postpartum care, I am guided by the belief that every mother is a blessed vessel. My care weaves together Ayurvedic principles, ancestral nourishment, herbs, grounding touch, emotional support, and a gentle presence in your home. This is care designed to replenish—not overwhelm—so you may heal with intention and bond with your baby in peace.
Postpartum is not something to figure out when you arrive there.
It is a season that asks to be prepared for, honored, and protected.
I’m here to help you plan for a soft landing into motherhood—whether it’s your first baby or your fourth. With in-home support, breastfeeding and infant care guidance, nourishing meals, ceremony, and Ayurvedic practices, The Blessed Vessel ensures you are held, fed, witnessed and supported the way every mother deserves.
Because when the mother is nourished, the whole family thrives.
Let’s create your postpartum sanctuary together.
About me
A Mother’s Guide, A Student of Ayurveda, A Keeper of the Sacred Window
I’m Elizabeth, the heart and womb behind The Blessed Vessel—an Ayurvedic postpartum doula devoted to serving mothers through one of life’s most sacred transitions.
My path into this work began long before my training ever started. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet, holy spaces of caregiving—the soft moments, the nourishment, the unseen labor that holds mothers as they learn to hold their babies. Learning the traditional postpartum care practices that our culture has unfortunately lost, I knew in my bones that this was what I am here to revive. Ayurveda gave language to what I already felt: that postpartum is a window of profound vulnerability, openness, and an opportunity for deep healing. The saying is this–42 days for 42 years of health and longevity. 42 days of deep rest, nourishment, and recovery will impact your health for decades.
Ayurveda is an ancient medicinal science originating in India. It is over 5,000 years old. Ayurveda translates to “the science of life and longevity”. Its major principles involve bringing harmony to the body through balancing energies, called Doshas. There are 3 doshas–Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each one is made up of elemental qualities. Vata: air + ether / Pitta: water + fire / Kapha: water + earth. After childbirth, Vata Dosha becomes aggravated in the body and requires certain care to avoid things like postpartum depression, anxiety, and indegestion, to name a few.
I am currently completing my Ayurvedic postpartum training, and with each step I’m expanding my understanding of the body’s natural wisdom and the timeless rituals that support it. Even as I continue to learn, I offer the practices I feel fully confident and grounded in:
warm meals crafted for postpartum recovery & lactation
emotional presence and practical household support
breastfeeding and infant care guidance
herbal support (teas, sitz baths, yoni steaming)
bodywork (abhyanga)
integrative ceremony and meditation practices
The approach is simple: mother the mother.
To slow the pace, warm the body, nourish the tissues, and create a safe, quiet space for your healing to unfold.
I believe every mother deserves to feel held, nourished, and honored in the weeks after birth. My hope is that when I step into your home, you feel a small exhale—a sense that you don’t have to do everything alone.
Thank you for considering me as part of your postpartum village. It is my deepest honor to support you during one of the most transformative seasons of your life.
