Hi, I’m Ceara
I’m so glad you’re here…
I am one of only three Ayurvedic postpartum doulas in Ireland. I specialise in providing truly nurturing, mother-centric support for families in the first weeks and months of parenthood.
​
The care I offer mothers and babies is deeply rooted in Ayurvedic principles. It focuses on 4 essential pillars of postpartum care: rest, diet, body care, and herbs.
​
I can also provide craniosacral therapy (CST) treatments for your little one, delivering many restorative benefits in their early weeks and onwards.
​​
My ethos is focused on "mothering the mother". When new mothers can slow down and be truly cared for in those precious early weeks, the positive effects on the whole family are remarkable.
What is a Postpartum Doula?
A postpartum doula provides essential care and support following the birth of your baby.​
​
Often, we are so focused on pregnancy and birth, that we don’t give much thought to what is sometimes called “the fourth trimester”, or what I like to call “your journey into motherhood”.
A postpartum doula will focus on what you truly need to heal and flourish in these early weeks.
What I Offer…
Every new mother and baby are unique, as is each birth and postpartum experience. My approach to postpartum doula care reflects this, and each of my core healing packages below will be tailored to match your needs.
Rest
12 visits
For those who feel prepared, but want a little extra care.
Restore
24 visits
Feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually supported.
Rejuvenate

Nourish

Book a Taster
If you're not sure whether you really need a postpartum doula, or if it's the right path for your journey, one of my short, taster sessions could be just the thing you need. ​
These packages are one-off sessions, each lasting around 3 hours.
Gather
A planning session for your postpartum journey before your baby arrives.
Exhale
This is a supportive check-in and care session soon after your little one is born.
Nourishing Baby Shower
If traditional baby showers aren’t really your thing, my Nourishing Baby Shower offers a heartwarming and practical alternative.
I work with you to select delicious, nurturing meals you would like to have prepped and stashed in the freezer for after your little one arrives.
Next, we host your baby shower at your place or mine. Your friends and family gather to celebrate you and prepare batches of wholesome food for your first 42 days of motherhood.

4 Pillars of Postpartum Care
My focus on Ayurvedic principles
In this precious postpartum period, there are 4 Ayurvedic pillars that will support your recovery following birth and your journey into motherhood.
These 4 pillars are:
-
Rest
-
Diet
-
Bodycare
-
Herbs
​
My work as a doula is grounded in these 4 elements. I mother you, so that you are free to focus on caring for, bonding with, and falling in love with your baby.
A Connected Community
Find Your Village
In addition to my core doula offerings of postpartum care, I am passionate about supporting a return to “the village”.
The old saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child”. This is completely true, yet in recent decades we have lost our sense of a village. Parents increasingly feel alone in this wonderful, phenomenal task of raising little ones.
I run a number of events and workshops, focused on creating a sense of connectedness and nurturing a support network among mothers.
