Integrating living wisdom to birth the conscious evolution

About Ayurdoula
Ayurdoula is a term created from the Sanskrit word “ayur” (life) and the Greek word “doula” (a woman who assists other women). Together we create a personalized healing and growth experience beginning at the point where we meet and the life phase you are in. As a certified doula I have smoothed the process of birth for Austin women at her home, in birthing centers, and in all the Austin metro hospitals; I have facilitated healing bodywork with everyone from infants to 93-year old elders.

I am constantly
surprised and rewarded when I see mothers handle all the challenges
of their childbearing year and parenting with grace under stress.
I feel blessed to use my skills and talents to help you realize your
desire to create and experience a more fulfilling childbearing year
and birth event. As a person integrating a life of experience and
grounding in my own internal knowledge, my most sincere hope is that
in our work together, you become instilled with the principles leading
to a healthier life for yourself and your family as you put love into
action.
Community service is something I strongly
believe in. Several ways I put this into practice are teaching low
cost Infant Massage Classes at various locations around town; volunteering
as the Membership Coordinator for the Central Texas Doulas Association,
as well as acting as a mentor for my sister doulas. My classes and
events calendar also includes lectures on healing and self-care topics
that I present in the Austin community. |

I am passionate about helping
my pregnant clients on their birth journey. It is such an honor
to be with a couple during the birth of their child. I consider
it a very sacred time and I feel very blessed to be a Doula.
I became a Massage Therapist after experiencing the amazing benefits
of Therapeutic Massage and Craniosacral Therapy and the relief it
gave me from my chronic pain. I wanted to be able to help people
manage their pain and enjoy their life again. |

I originally started a career in massage, 7 years ago, to help alleviate the pains of pregnancy. I knew it was my calling after I started working at the only OB/GYN office in Fredericksburg. I saw so many women enter pregnancy with the mindset that it was a disease instead of a natural life process. Finding so many women in physical & emotional pain, all I wanted to do was to help them feel better and ease the process of childbirth. I took a local doula training in 2008 & a DONA training January 2010. I'm currently attending births to receive my national certification through DONA.
I'm also proud to be a part of a doula volunteer group GALS (Giving Austin Labor Support) who has recently collaborated with Any Baby Can (a pregnancy resource center).

I have been supporting mamas since 2008. I am a birth doula and also provide support up to one year postpartum. My journey in parenting led me to explore many natural options for my own children, which I now share with my clients. My passions are many and include breastfeeding, sleep, nutrition, diapering, attachment parenting, assisting mothers who are not able to exclusively breastfeed with creating homemade infant formula using raw milk fortified with nutrient rich oils and supplements, and gentle potty training. Motherhood and birth take every part of your being and I believe having the support of other individuals is a vital part in a woman’s journey from woman to mother. |
