Supporting Mothers in the sacredness after birth- through Ayurvedic care, medicinal herbalism, nourishing foods, ceremony and deep listening.

Why Postpartum care matters-

This is the time when mother’s body is open and her system is repairing- recalibrating who she is while also healing, feeding, and tending to her newborn.

Rather than rushing forward, tradition invites her to turn inward-to stay warm, nourished and deepen the bond between her and baby.

Physically, the body is recovering from blood loss, hormonal shifts, digestive vulnerability.

Emotionally, She is integrating her birth experience, meeting anew identity, and learning her body again.

with rest and a supportive, natural environment the women’s body feels safe to release oxytocin-the hormone of trust, bonding, and love.

To Walk The Path of The Doula-

I’m Ashlee McDonald- an Ayurvedic postpartum doula, herbalist, and yoga teacher devoted to honoring the sacred journey of birth and rebirth.

My path has been shaped by many roles: daughter, sister, friend, student of the plants, and guide for women returning to themselves. Being present at the births of four younger siblings, and later supporting friends through pregnancy and postpartum, opened me to the potency of this work and the deep responsibility it carries.

over time, through devotion and study with Noya Roa Sacred Tree, the invitation became clear-

to support women during this transformative threshold with nourishment, deep listening, and reverence.

Anchored in ancestral wisdom, Ayurveda, medicinal herbs, and warmth, I’m here to witness women as they shift into motherhood- held by care, presence, and the remembrance of the village.

What our time together might look like

In our time together, you may find yourself sipping on a cup of warm herbal bone broth, slowly simmered with local produce and rich with restorative nutrients.

I may prepare a tea blend crafted to support lactation, cellular rebuilding, nervous system soothing- We may simply sit together in quiet presence, allowing the body to unwind and integrate the birth experience.

Care may take form of Ayurvedic Abhyanga, warm oils gently worked into the body, followed by a restorative bath while I sit with your baby, offering you space to rest.

It may also look like thoughtfully preparing meals aligned with the specific week of postpartum you are in- or something as simple and essential as washing dishes and tending to the rhythms of your home.

Each visit is different, what remains is the consistence intention of creating a space where you can slow down, heal, and grow deeper in connection- with your baby, body, and self.

Through warming foods, herbal remedies, ritual and ceremony, Ayurvedic practices, and the simplicity of presence, I trust we can honor this sacred season- Together.

Medicinal Herbalism

My relationship with plants began before I ever called it herbalism.

Over the years the plants became my teachers, allies, and medicine- guiding me through my own healing journey with digestion, cycle support, and nervous system repair. Through lived experience and deep listening, I came to trust the quiet intelligence of the plant world.

My approach is simple, intuitive, and practical- rooted in traditional wisdom and shaped by relationship.

I work through the lenses of Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, folk herbalism, and plant spirits, allowing each remedy to rise in response to the individual, season and moment.

Medicinal herbs will be local, organic, and thoughtfully tailored to your constitution and current phase of life. Support may take form of:

  • Tea infusions to cleanse the blood and support tissue repair

  • Herbal formulations to aid in postpartum healing and restoration

  • Mineral-rich prenatal blends

  • Herbal bath- to support postpardum healing

  • Rose infused oil- nourishing to Nervous System, Heart support

  • Yoni Steam- 5-6 weeks postpartum

These practices are always approached with care, consent, and reverence.

My offerings are deeply informed by the teachers, mentors, and allies who have shaped my path. I offer ongoing gratitude to:

  • Sajah Popham- Evolutionary Herbalism

  • Olivia Romano- Organic Olivia

  • Amy Warton- Luciditree

  • Richard Rudd- Gene Keys

  • Rada Schwaller- Bliss Alchemy
