About this episode
In this episode, we’re sitting down with Christine Eck, founder of the Center for Sacred Window Studies, to unpack what Ayurvedic-informed postpartum care can actually look like in real life. We talk about why the first 40 days matter so much, how warmth, rest, and nourishment support deep healing, and simple ways to bring these ancient principles into a modern home.
If you're looking to bulk up your postpartum nourishment, be sure to grab my postpartum cookbooks while they are on sale!
In the episode, we cover:
- What Ayurvedic postpartum care is and why it’s so focused on the nervous system
- The core pillars of a supported “sacred window” (food, rest, warmth, touch, and emotional care)
- How partners, friends, and doulas can show up in practical, non-overwhelming ways
- Ideas for creating simple postpartum rhythms and rituals that feel nurturing, not rigid
- Encouragement for rewriting your postpartum expectations in a culture that glorifies “bouncing back”
Perfect for anyone planning postpartum or wanting a more intentional, held experience after birth.
