   CONSCIOUS POSTPARTUM CAREGIVER

Honoring the Sacred Window, Conscious Care for
the Innate Wisdom of the Fourth Trimester

"AS WOMEN, WE HAVE RITES OF PASSAGES BUILT INTO OUR PHYSIOLOGIC DESIGN .
OUR WORK IS TO REMEMBER AND HONOR THESE RITES"
-Rachelle Garcia Seliga-

  Universal Postpartum Principles: 
  • Rest ​
  • Warmth
  • Healing Touch
  • Nourishing Foods
  • ​Community
When a baby is birthed, a mother is birthed. During the fourth trimester a support program is anchored in practices and principles of Ayurveda. 

"Kayakalpa" is the forty-two days it takes for tissues to rebuild. The fourth trimester will determine the state of well being of a mother for the next forty-two years of her life. A container of grace and intuition will be held, as the rites of passage can be witnessed.                                                                                                

The caregiver support will: 

Nourish You:  Through an Ayurvedic constitutional intake and Ancestral foods we will create a meal plan to establish a routine that will bring support, calm the nervous system and warmth to the whole body. By protecting your precious energy and openness we can hold the container and nourish the rites of passage process that you have gone through. With the Sacred Window Support you will be in the hands of a caregiver who you can rely on to support your body to come back into balance and whole health. My role is to guide you through the passage, your primal state of inherent wisdom, power and intuition. Every mother was cared for by the Grandmothers, Every women was able to honor the sacred window of time. The importance of rest, warmth, specific foods and oil massages is every women's birthright, not a luxury. 

Witness Your Rites of Passage:  earth based connection ceremonies for new families. To be witnessed through a rites of passage is crucial for the old self to die, so you can be reborn as a mother. To be witnessed in a ceremony. I offer earth based rituals and ceremony: Day 14 ceremony with baby and father or other parent, day 28 treesong ceremony with mother and baby to connect to a sacred tree and songline. The songlines ceremony can also be done, where the father buries the placenta, connecting the child to its path. (Ask for Add-ons)  
​

Awaken You: The first three months after giving birth is a vulnerable and raw time for both parents. The spiritual journey has begun for the mother and her senses are completely open and exposed. This is a time to not be alone and to be completely supported, to receive from the caregiver and surrender to the process of awakening to motherhood. As a caregiver I will offer a support program that can enhance your fourth trimester for the whole family.

TESTIMONIALS

​"My husband and I hired Sondra Hamilton as our postpartum doula and she was amazing. My birth ended up being quite traumatic, landing me in the OR for a c-section, so the healing journey ahead was a lot more intensive than I was originally anticipating. I cannot imagine not having Sondra’s incredible support. Her calm and relaxed energy was a lovely addition to our home. She kept me nourished and hydrated with the most delicious meals and teas, specifically curated for my healing journey. She offered hands-on support with abhyanga (warm oil massage) for me and baby, as well as moxa treatments to invigorate the flow of Qi in my body and help build back up my blood, as I lost a lot during surgery. There were so many emotions to unpack after our week-long stay in the hospital, having originally intended on being at a birthing center. Sondra held space for me to process and heal and guided me through some very potent ceremonies to release some of the emotional trauma surrounding my birth story. She facilitated a beautiful ritual introducing our baby girl to the sun and grounding our love as a family in nature. She also shared many tools with me to ensure I felt empowered moving forward with my healing after she left. We are truly blessed to have received the support and care of “auntie” Sondra. 
-Koral Delatierra, Oregon-
