Ayurvedic Postpartum
Doula Training

“Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Lakshmi (auspiciousness, beauty), and Loka (heaven, earth, atmosphere) are represented in every woman.”

— Charak Samhita

Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula Training

Join me on this beautiful journey of creating a happy, healthy, and peaceful world.

To have a harmonious human experience — we must be nourished, nurtured, listened to, and attended to. Learn the luxurious and beautiful rituals and practices you need to transform your clients and community.

This is a time of beginnings. We are planting the seeds of how we care for one another in the community — when we need it most — and the seeds of our lifelong journey as mothers. Help mothers in this emerging relationship — for it may be the deepest and most profound relationship yet.

Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula Training

There is nothing more sacred than the ability and privilege to create life.

Do not be fooled by the glowing effects of oxytocin on a mother’s face after birth. Yes, she looks stunning — gorgeous, filled with milk and potential — but underneath the glow her body is healing.

Her soul was cracked open — her life was born anew. A mother was born — we must gather. I am begging you to show up for her.

Walk this journey with me to learn the many ways to nourish and nurture a mama — rooted in the ancient science of Ayurveda.

“Radha has cultivated a truly special offering with this course. If you are postpartum, planning for postpartum, or even work with the pregnant/postpartum period, the postpartum Ayurvedic practitioner course is a must. With live calls for open and honest discussion, guest speakers, delicious recipes, and more: even experienced providers will have something to gain from this course.”

Stephanie Krueger Domingue — Certified Doula, Mother Roaster & Ceremonialist with Rocky Mountain Mother

“Radha is a wealth of wisdom. She shares her knowledge with warmth, grace, and true embodiment of the deeply nourishing principles of the postpartum period. Bliss Alchemy is the perfect description of the transmission that happens in her presence. Training with Radha was like reading 40 books while receiving a warm hug, having a good laugh, and enjoying a delicious home cooked meal by the fire. I learned everything I needed to learn to grow my doula practice and also nourished myself on a deep soul level. I wholeheartedly recommend training with Radha.”

— Katherine Sanz, Moonspun Jewelry Owner
