The Ayurvedic knowledge<\/span> helps to maintain energy levels and nourish both the mother and her baby during and after pregnancy. This is done by working on an appropriate diet, life style, exercise\/Yoga program and relaxation\/meditation<\/span> program. Ayurvedic oil massages <\/span>are especially supportive and indicated before and after delivery to nourish the tissues of the body and stimulate circulation and proper lymph function.<\/p>\n

Ayurveda is the 5000 year-old Indian system of medicine, known as the \u201cMother of all healing systems.\u201d<\/span> Ayurveda states that the character, physical attributes and health of a child begins with the state and health of the mother during pregnancy.<\/span> This is explained in terms of how well nourished, rested and emotionally prepared the mother is. Its guidelines and teaching methods are based on constitution and body types that are used in order to further eliminate pregnancy symptoms and prepare the mother for birth.<\/p>\n

An Ayurveda program addresses:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Physical Condition:<\/strong><\/span> aiming to detoxify and decongest your body through a wholesome diet, body treatments and exercises such as Yoga, swimming and light walking.<\/p>\n

Mental Attitudes:<\/strong><\/span> addresses your mental attitude and resistance you may have towards pregnancy \u2013 or any fears about birth. Meditation.<\/p>\n

Emotional Bonding:<\/strong> <\/span>extending a loving welcome to your unborn baby and learning how to bond with your baby in the womb.<\/p>\n

We begin with an Ayurveda Constitution Assessment<\/span> and continue with regular Follow-up Visits to support you in every stage of pregnancy and afterwards.<\/p>\n
