An Ayurveda Postpartum Doula combines traditional postpartum wisdom with modern, practical support. At Nurture, our postpartum doulas provide in-home postpartum support in Cincinnati and surrounding areas, offering care that centers you, not just your baby.

This is not about doing more — it’s about being held while your body and nervous system integrate the massive transition of birth.

Social media has become one of the most influential sources of information about pregnancy and birth. For many expecting parents, it’s where they first encounter birth stories, learn new language around advocacy, and begin forming expectations about labor and delivery. As a doula, hypnobirthing educator, and facilitator of birth story sharing circles, I see both the power and the risk of this exposure every day.

If the idea of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum has been lingering in your thoughts — maybe for months or even years — this may be the year you listen more closely.

Many people who are drawn to doula work are not starting from scratch. They are parents, caregivers, educators, healthcare-adjacent professionals, yoga teachers, therapists, or people who have walked through meaningful birth experiences of their own.

Doula work often grows out of lived experience — a desire to walk alongside others in moments that are vulnerable, transformative, and deeply human.

At Nurture, we believe doula training should reflect that depth.

At Nurture, our team of doulas believes that postpartum care is not just recovery — it’s sacred renewal. Recently, a few of our doulas (and I!) have begun training to become Postpartum Ayur-Doulas — doulas who specialize in Ayurvedic practices for the postpartum period.
