Enjoy a peaceful night of rejuvenating rest, delight in wholesome meals and snacks, and deeply connect with your baby as a gift to you both just before Mother’s Day. 💞
This intimate gathering of pregnant women will offer a restorative space to connect with yourself, your baby, and a sense of community by nurturing ourselves with delicious food and teas, gentle movement and meditation, and meaningful conversations with one another. Hosted by a birth doula and perinatal caregiver, this event is a beautiful gift of restorative nourishment for every pregnant parent and baby.
Our time together will be an easy balance of guided group activities and intimate time for just you and baby, including:
🧘♀️ Gentle prenatal yoga & sound bath performed by somatic healer-singer
✨ Soothing and empowering birth meditations and guided breathwork
📖 Guided journaling for self-care, fostering relationships, and connecting with baby
🌸 Sampling herbal teas and aromatherapies for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum
💞 Resting in your private room or cozied up on soft couches in the community spaces
🌳 Communing with the quiet nature surrounding the retreat center
🌼 Exploring the short trails leading to lakes and the Platte River
🌱 Small group Q&A about pregnancy / postpartum care with an Ayurvedic doula & herbalist
(A detailed agenda will be updated closer to the retreat.)
We’ll share three fortifying meals, snacks, and herbal teas inspired by prenatal/postpartum cookbooks, “Nine Golden Months” and “The First Forty Days” by Heng Ou. Each recipe was created with care and ancient wisdom to support Mother and Baby throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. All meal ingredients will be organic and as locally sourced as possible.
You’ll also receive a goodie basket with natural care products, including herbal infused oils, sitz baths, and rejuvenating teas by Elaina, and gifts from other local artisans, herbalists, and birth workers. (Normally $75+)
This care collection was thoughtfully crafted for the unique situations that arise throughout the perinatal period, including nausea, heartburn, stretch marks, and perineal tissue recovery.
My deepest desire is for you to leave this retreat with an abundance of trusted recipes, resources, and inspiration to offer yourself a relaxing and nourishing pregnancy and postpartum experience. Please reach out to me if you have any specific perinatal symptoms or herbal/food allergies!
