You deserve to feel held, nourished and honored as you transition from Maiden to Mother
The Sacred Window
It is said that the first 42 days after birth sows the seeds of wellness for the next 42 years of a Mother’s life.
Ayurveda and Traditional Cultures across the world identify a 6 week Sacred Window that opens for birthing Mothers each time a baby is born. Mothers are reborn through the birth portal and require tender care alongside their newborn baby. In these first 6 weeks after birth, it is essential that Mama receives deep nourishment through extended rest, nutrient dense foods, herbal support and mindful body care so that she may receive true rejuvenation. When the postpartum Sacred Window is intentionally tended to Mama has the opportunity to step into her new role with confidence and vitality while calmly navigating common postpartum challenges.
Remembering Earth’s Wisdom
The care that is offered through Rooted Within is Mother Centered and grounded in the wisdom of Ayurvedic & Ancestral Postpartum Care.
Mothers are the foundation upon which Humanity evolves and it is absolutely vital that we return to authentically honoring and caring for postpartum mothers.
There are living threads of wisdom across our beloved Earth that offer insight into how new mothers are meant to be tended to. When we reclaim Birth and Postpartum as sacred Rites of Passage we begin to remember Earth’s wisdom of living in reciprocity with Life and Nature.
This is the power of The Sacred Window.
Rooted Within Intentions
My intention through this work is to be an authentic offering to the reclamation of Birth and Postpartum as sacred Rites of Passage.
To tend to each Mother as a unique and Whole being.
For each Mother in my care to feel held, honored and witnessed in a way that weaves true integration.
To infuse a sense of Ceremony into each initiation from Maiden to Mother and deeper into the Mother role.
To enhance the flow of nourishment each Mother receives so that she may be a sustainable source of nourishment for her baby & her family.
To create a sanctuary for each Mother to connect with her inner voice, her intuition, her inner authority.
My intention is for each Mother to emerge from her Sacred Window feeling rooted and at home within her Self.
Journey Unfolding
Hello dear friends, you can call me Emi. I am so grateful that you have landed here. I am a Kentucky gal, Mother of twins, and Postpartum Birthkeeper.
It is my deepest honor and life’s offering to serve Mothers as they return Home from the journey of Birth. I hope to be an authentic Witness and meaningful source of nourishment along your path.
My educational roots are as a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, Ayurvedic & Botanical Postpartum Birthkeeper, Yoga & Breathwork Guide and with Herbal Medicine. My work is also informed by my lived experience and unfolding life journey. My initiation into Motherhood with twins in 2020 was both beautiful and deeply challenging…I struggled with grief, rage, depletion and overwhelm…as many mothers do. My Dark Night of the Soul was so meaningful and I know in my bones that this is not meant to be the dominant story for Mothers and Postpartum. There is another, more aligned, way.
I slowly found my way Home to myself as a Mother, returning with lived understanding and a fire in my heart. My journey and offerings continue to unfold and evolve as I move through the cyclical experience of Life…exploring ancestral & embodied wisdom and weaving together what it means to be Rooted Within.
