ย Sacred Postpartum Support For Mothers to Heal and Thrive After Birthย 

 

Honoring the mother

Gentle, Nourishing, In-Home Care for Your Sacred Postpartum Window

Youโ€™ve prepared for the birth,ย  but what about the after?

This is where most new mothers are left to figure it out aloneโ€”when they actually need care the most.ย 

In Ayurveda, the first 42 days after birth are seen as a Sacred Windowโ€”a powerful time for healing, restoration, and transformation that can shape a mother’s health for the next 42 years.ย Itโ€™s a time when the mother needs care just as much as her baby.

Rest, nourishment, warmth, compassion, gentle guidance, and support arenโ€™t luxuriesโ€”theyโ€™re essential.ย ย With the right care, this window becomes a foundation for lifelong wellness.

You don’t have to do this alone. Let yourself be held.

Because when a mother is nurtured and thriving, everyone is strengthened by her well-being.

begin your postpartum journey

“I knew I’d need support, but I didn’t realize just how impactful your presence would be”.

Jess, I’ve been meaning to say how deeply grateful we are for everything you brought into your homes these early weeks of our son’s life. I knew I’d need support postpartum and intentionally sought out doula support, but I didn’t realize just how impactful your presence would be.

From your calm, grounding energy to your practical wisdom around diapering, feeding, and bathing – and especially the incredibly nourishing Ayurvedic care- you made such a difference. Without a local family or my mom, it meant so much to have someone like you in our corner.ย  Thank you for everything.ย 

– Meredithย 

A Warm Welcome.

Hi. I’m Jess Ohanian. Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula, Clinical Herbalist, Mama of one (with another on the way!)ย 

Some of the most challenging, vulnerable weeks of my life were in the early postpartum days with my daughter.

I know what itโ€™s like to feel cracked open, stretched thinโ€”deeply in love, profoundly exhausted, and unsure of how to care for yourself while caring for a new baby. That experience reshaped meโ€”and became the root of my calling.

Since then, Iโ€™ve been supporting new mothers in their postpartum healingโ€”offering the kind of presence every new mother deserves. The care I offer is more than practical supportโ€”itโ€™s a quiet revolution. To remember that this season was never meant to be carried alone.

This time is sacred, and we can’t get it back. It would be an honor to be with you as you heal, transform, and step into postpartum and motherhood with intentional support and care.

With so much love,ย  Jess

You can have a beautiful and restorative postpartum experience,ย  and I’ll be there to gently guide and support your transformation of becoming a mother.ย 

reclaim your postpartum experience

Imagine…

 

  • Giving yourself time and space to heal physically and emotionally from birth.
  • Meals are planned and prepared for you with foods supporting postpartum recovery for deep nourishment and no stress around cooking or what you’re going to eat.
  • You experience restoration through Abhyanga (warm oil bodywork) and Marma (energy point) therapy to calm your nervous system, rest, and restore balance.
  • Healing herbs for milk production, tissue repair, more energy, and stress reductionย 
  • Newborn guidance so you can feel confident with feeding, baby-wearing, and care.
  • Enjoy bonding with your baby, partner, and family with less stress and more support.

Why all mothers need postpartum care.

Postpartum is one of the most vulnerable and transformational times in a motherโ€™s lifeโ€”and yet, most families are left without the care they truly need.

These packages are more than visitsโ€”theyโ€™re a full-circle healing experience.
With personalized Ayurvedic meals, therapeutic bodywork, belly binding, newborn and infant support,ย  herbal remedies, emotional care, and guidance through your sacred window, youโ€™ll receive the kind of care most mothers say they didnโ€™t even know was possible. Because you deserve to thrive, not just “survive” the early postpartum weeks.

Rest | Hands-on Ayurvedic postpartum doula care

So you never have to feel unsupported as a new mother or navigate the early weeks and months postpartum alone.

Food | Nourishing meals and faster recovery

Prepared and tailored to your unique postpartum healing stage and carefully designed to support digestion, lactation, energy, sleep, mood, and rejuvenation.

Healing | Therapeutic Ayurvedic warm oil bodywork and traditional postpartum enhancements for warmth and calm

To support healing, grounding, and recovery after birth and throughout postpartum, along with much-needed time to rest, process, and receive a few moments to yourself for self-care.

Support | Expert guidance, newborn care, herbs, emotional support, and encouragement.

Delivered with deep presence, reverence, and warmthโ€”always

MAMA LOVE NOTES

Kristina Tsipouras

Happy Mama

โ€œYour 6-Week Sacred Postpartum Doula Package was the best gift I have given myself.”

You changed it all for me. ย I felt so taken care of. It not only healed me this time around, but re-healed the postpartum Mother who didnโ€™t have this type of support the first time around. Thank you for being you, and doing what you do, and thank you for being a gift to so many women. Your work is so important. I just wish every woman could experience it. You really showed up for me during the hardest time of my life, and now I am feeling so much better. This has been an amazing experience and well worth every penny spent. Thank you so much.

Emily Peiper

Happy Mama

โ€œEverything I need as a new mom, but rarely find”.

Highly recommend Jess! I didn’t know exactly what to expect but was sold on this being geared toward postpartum moms and it was heavenly! Any postpartum care or service with Jess is like getting a big hug–she’s incredibly intuitive, non-judgmental, and warm; pretty much everything I need as a new(ish) mom, but rarely find.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

This part is easy.ย  To start, complete the contact form, and I will reach out to you to schedule a complimentary Mama Care Consultation.ย ย 

What is a Postpartum Doula and Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula?

My postpartum doula packages include in-home visits centered around healing meals, warm oil massage (Abhyanga), customized herbal support, emotional check-ins, and gentle, hands-on guidance through the early weeks after birth. Each visit is grounded in Ayurvedic wisdom to support deep healing, rest, and rejuvenation.

The word doula comes from the ancient Greek, meaning โ€œwith womanโ€โ€”a reminder that this role and mothers were always meant to be cared for. While conventional postpartum care often centers solely on the newborn, Ayurvedic postpartum care honors the mother as the one who must be deeply nourished in order to nourish others. When a mother is supported to rest and recover, she can show up with strength, confidence, and ease for herself and her baby.

My approach blends traditional Ayurvedic care with practical newborn guidance, so the whole family feels held. As a postpartum doula trained in Ayurvedic postpartum care, nutrition, and clinical herbal medicine, I offer a comprehensive level of support that is both therapeutic and deeply intuitive.

Iโ€™ve received certification from the Mahatma School of Ayurveda and advanced my training through the Sacred Window Studies School and the Conscious Postpartum Caregiver program. In addition, Iโ€™ve completed a DONA-approved postpartum doula workshop and have fulfilled all required client hours. My DONA certification is currently under final review and is expected soon.

Alongside foundational care, I offer several specialized services that most conventional doulas do not, including Abhyanga and Marma therapy, therapeutic cooking and meal planning, Ayurvedic belly binding, breathwork and pranayama, Reiki, and personalized herbal remedies.

What are your rates? Do you offer payment plans? Are there any additional costs I should budget for?

My in-person Ayurvedic doula care is offered at $100/hour, which includes bodywork, in-home treatments, herbal support, newborn care and holistic Ayurvedic postpartum care.ย  When you book a package, you receive a built-in discount.

For postpartum cooking and meal support, meal bundles are available to meet varying budgets and needs.ย  All meal services include personalized consultations, custom menu planning, recipes,ย  eco-friendly containers, cooking, and delivery.ย  ย 

I offer flexible payment plans (typically 2โ€“4 installments with a 50% deposit).ย 

My packages are thoughtfully designed to be as all-inclusive as possible, so there are no surprise fees. That said, there are a few optional add-ons you might choose to include, such as a belly bind, custom herbal formulations, additional massages or massage oils to continue home care, or extra meals and visits beyond whatโ€™s included in your package. If you live outside my travel radius (10 miles from Canton, MA), a $50/hour travel fee may applyโ€”but Iโ€™ll always let you know in advance. Iโ€™ll go over everything during our consultation so you feel clear and confident.

How does Ayurvedic Postpartum Meal Delivery work?

Depending on your package or postpartum meal bundle,ย  youโ€™ll receive weekly nourishing, easy-to-digest meals crafted with Ayurvedic ingredients and built around the 4 stages of postpartum healing (cleansing, digestion, lactation, rejuvenation) to support your, energy, tissue repair, lactation, recovery, and vitality.

Meals are prepared and delivered on Monday for non-doula clients and during your first weekly doula visit each week for in-home doula care, depending on your package.

For doula clients, meals are prepared at the beginning of your visit so you are able to be fed and nourished throughout the day. ย This ensures you receive both nourishing food and uninterrupted care โ€”exactly when you need it most.

You donโ€™t have to plan, prep, or cleanโ€”just warm , eat, and receive the nourishment your body truly needs.

Where are your services areas? Do you work with clients who aren't local?

I currently offer in-home Ayurvedic postpartum doula care in Massachusetts and throughout the Greater Boston area, including but not limited to:
Canton, Sharon, Norwood, Westwood, Newton,ย  Roslindale, Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Dover, Roslindale, Dedham, Milton, Quincy, Needham, and surrounding communities.

If you’re located slightly outside this area, feel free to reach outโ€”I may be able to accommodate your location for an additional travel fee.

For those outside of my in-person service area, I also offer virtual postpartum planning sessionsย so you can still receive nourishing support no matter where you live.

What is your availability for visits? Do you provide overnight support?

I offer weekday, daytime support during your sacred postpartum window.

In-person Ayurvedic doula care is available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays between 9am to 3pm.

These visits are intentionally timed to support you during the dayโ€”when nourishing meals, healing bodywork, and emotional care are most restorative based on the Ayurvedic cycle of time flows best within a day.

โœจ Mondays are reserved for postpartum meal preparation for both doula and meal delivery clients and virtual postpartum planning support.
โœจ Fridays are set aside for time with my family.

Between visits, Iโ€™m happy to offer text support or brief virtual check-ins during business hours. Youโ€™re never alone on this journey.

Looking for Overnight Care?

While I donโ€™t offer overnight doula care, I highly recommend the wonderful team at Boston Birth Village in Newton, MA for trusted overnight support.

What happens if you or I need to reschedule a visit?

Your wellness and your babyโ€™s health always come first. In the event that you or I are feeling unwell, weโ€™ll find a solution that supports everyoneโ€™s needs:

1. Weโ€™ll reschedule your visit to another day or week that works best.

2. If rescheduling isnโ€™t possible and care is still needed, I can arrange backup support through my trusted network of postpartum doulas.

I only work with one to two families at a time, so thereโ€™s usually room to offer an additional visit when needed. My goal is to keep your care sacred, flexible, and rooted in presence.

What is Abhyanga Oil Massage and Marma Therapy?

Abhyanga oil massage, a traditional Ayurvedic practice that promotes relaxation, rejuvenation, and healing. With gentle strokes and warm oil, this massage offers mothers the opportunity to unwind, release tension, and restore balance to mind, body, and spirit.

Benefits include:ย 
-Deeply nourishing to the nervous system
-Increases circulation to flush out toxins
-Reduces aches and pains
-Speeds up recovery and helps to ease hormonal fluctuations
-Reduces stress, anxiety
-Improves milk flow and production
-Promotes relaxation for better sleep

Ayurveda highlights 108 marma points or energy points in the body. Marma points for postpartum provide additional support during the Abhyanga treatment and will help to bring relief to numerous physical and emotional discomforts.ย 

What is belly binding/wrapping and are there benefits?

Traditional belly wrapping to stabilize the pelvis, support organ realignment, and promote grounding.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, belly binding grounds your nervous system by preventing air and space elements from entering the body, helps your organs come back into their proper positions, aids digestion, aids posture, and helps the new mother feel comforted and secure. It’s like an all day hug that feels SO GOOD!

Belly binding and an organic wrap is included with every package.

 

What's the difference between a midwife, birth doula, postpartum doula, baby nurse or nanny?

A midwife is a trained medical professional who can do many of the same things doctors do. They will see you for your monthly prenatal appointments and will deliver your baby.ย 

A birth doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mama during pregnancy, labor + delivery.

A baby nurse is a professional who provides overnight care and support for your newbornโ€”handling feedings, diaper changes, and soothing so you can rest. While some are licensed RNs, others use the term โ€œbaby nurseโ€ without formal nursing credentials, so best to ask about training and experience if you have a specific preference. Babysitters and nannies can also help care for children, but typically offer daytime support rather than overnight care.

A postpartum doula focuses on taking care of the family following the birth of baby. A conventionally trained postpartum doula may offer assistance with light housework, watching younger children, caring for the newborn, and basic education on breast/chest feeding, and diapering.

An Ayurvedic postpartum doula focuses on caring for the mother so they can recover faster and bond with their new baby and family. They may offer Abhyanga oil massage, therapeutic prepared meals, herbal support, some light housework to keep the home feeling calm, newborn care, and supports theย  family as needed to create a positive postpartum experience.

They play very different roles but can all be beneficial to an easeful and empowering pregnancy and postpartum experience.

Does a postpartum doula replace my partner's role after birth?

A doula does not replace the role of your partner, but should rather complement or enhance the experience!

Your partner is also not a postpartum plan (as much as you may want them to be) as you’re both going through massive shifts and transitions and running on little sleep.

Having another support person in the postpartum periodย  allows for your partner to take breaks when needed but for mama to continue to feel supported. Having a doula will also let the partner enjoy the experience more and creates more bonding time for partner and baby while the mother receives postpartum care.ย 

When should I book postpartum support?

Itโ€™s never too early to plan aheadโ€”many families reserve their spot during the second or third trimester to ensure availability. However, if you’ve already given birth and feel called to this care, pleaseย  reach out. If I have space, Iโ€™d be honored to support you.

I usually recommend interviewing a couple of doulas to see who would be the best fit for you.

Certain doulas specialize in some areas over others. Neither is right or wrong, it just depends on what feels like the best fit for the mother and family.

Once you have that established and know that they have an opening for your estimated due date, you can get started with the process.ย 

I typically only work with one to two mamas at a time and my availability fills up fast, so if you are interested please get in touch and we can get started on creating your nourishing postpartum experience.

How do I know if you're the right practitioner for me ?

If you believe postpartum is meant to be a time of deep healingโ€”not just survival, and youโ€™re craving care that honors your body, your emotions, and your spirit, weโ€™ll likely be a beautiful match.

I support mothers who value holistic, personalized careโ€”rooted in nourishment, bodywork, ritual, and ancient wisdomโ€”not as a luxury, but as a legacy. Because how you are cared for in postpartum shapes not only your long-term health, but the well-being of your family and the way we care for mothers everywhere.

If you feel drawn to this approach and want to feel truly seen, supported, and held through your Sacred Window, thereโ€™s a good chance weโ€™ll work beautifully together.

Youโ€™re warmly invited to book a complimentary clarity call so we can connect, explore your needs, and make sure it feels aligned before beginning our work together.
