Ayurvedic Postpartum Care

The alternative to traditional postpartum care.

This work is community driven and rooted in the belief that a peaceful world starts with peaceful families. Peace starts with community care. We are here to hold space for the stream-of-consciousness days, to soften the raw edges of new parenthood, to create calm spaces so that you can savor the fleeting newborn moments.

We have lived the realities of the postpartum period. From sleepless nights to witching-hour cries and so much more, we know you were not intended to do it alone. We believe in the profound difference that support makes.

Our postpartum care is rooted Ayurvedic practices. From belly binding to personalized herbal baths and body oiling, we are excited to support you on this journey of new parenthood.

OUR ROOTS

Miranda Hanan is a postpartum doula, herbalist, and the founder of Of Forest & Human, a regenerative apothecary committed to ethical sourcing and sustainability. With over five years of postpartum doula experience, Ayurvedic training, and a deeply personal understanding of the postpartum journey, she offers an alternative to the isolation and overwhelm many new parents face.

Miranda’s approach is rooted in both her own traumatic postpartum experiences and the desire for equitable support and community for every new parent. She began her postpartum doula training just seven weeks after her first child’s birth, driven by an unwavering determination to provide the kind of care she never received but knew all new parents deserved.

Today, she provides intuitive, grounding support for birthing parents of all walks of life, with a priority for BIPOC+ and queer families.

Postpartum care should not be a privilege—it is your birthright.
