Book a Discovery CallThe Six-Week Checkup Is Not Enough
Somewhere between delivering your baby and the six-week pediatric appointment, something essential goes missing. You're handed a newborn, sent home, and expected to bounce back. Heal on your own. Figure it out.
Your body has just completed the most profound physiological transformation it will ever undergo. Your nervous system is wide open. Your hormones are recalibrating. Your pelvic floor, your core, your womb space, your digestion, and your sleep are all asking for care. And yet, most new mothers in the Bay Area receive almost none of it.
In Ayurveda, the first 42 days after birth are called the sacred window. It is considered the most tender and formative chapter of a woman's life. What happens in these weeks shapes your body, your hormones, and your capacity to mother with presence for years and even decades ahead.
You deserve to be nourished, not rushed. Held, not hurried. This is the care your grandmothers would have received. This is the care we bring back to you.
Who This Postpartum Care Is For
This package was designed for three kinds of mothers. See which one feels like you.
If You Are
Newly Postpartum, Struggling Right Now
You have delivered within the last few weeks or months. You are exhausted, depleted, and sensing that something is missing from the support around you. You want deep, nourishing care, not just a meal train.
If You Are
Expecting and Planning Ahead
You are pregnant, likely in your second or third trimester. You have heard that postpartum care in America is lacking, and you want to pre-book real support so you are not scrambling during your most vulnerable weeks.
If You Are
A Family Member or Friend Gifting Care
You want to give someone you love the most meaningful postpartum gift possible. A grandmother, sister, husband, or close friend who knows this is what a new mother truly needs.
What's Included in the Postpartum Care Suite
A complete sacred window recovery journey, delivered in your home and designed around your body, your constitution, and your timeline.

6 In-Home Visits: Abhyanga with Hot Potli for Mom & Baby Massage
The crown of this package. Six in-home visits by a trained Ayurvedic practitioner across your sacred window.

Baby Massage & Bathing Teaching Session
A dedicated virtual session with Shilpa teaching you the ancient practice of daily infant oil massage and traditional Ayurvedic bathing. Learn the exact strokes, pressure, oils, and rhythms so you can continue this bonding ritual long after the practitioner's visits conclude.

Meet Shilpa
"Rooted in Tradition. Guided by Experience. Offered with Care."
I'm Shilpa, founder of Advaya Holistic Wellness, a certified prenatal yoga teacher and Holistic Ayurveda Health Counsellor based in San Jose. I was born and raised in India, the birthplace of Yoga and Ayurveda.
My training is rooted in traditional, lineage-based teachings passed down by authentic yoga gurus and Ayurvedic Vaidyas from South India, where I completed over 1,000 hours of practical training. These sciences are not concepts to me. They are a lived way of life.
In Indian culture, postpartum care is sacred. Grandmothers, aunts, and practitioners hold the new mother for 42 days, nourishing her body, calming her nervous system, and honoring the transformation she has undergone. My mission is to bring that same depth of care to mothers here in the Bay Area, who too often recover alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the service area for in-home postpartum care?
We serve mothers across San Jose, Milpitas, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, Mountain View, Palo Alto, and nearby parts of Silicon Valley and the South Bay. This includes neighborhoods like Berryessa, Evergreen, Almaden, Willow Glen, Cambrian, North San Jose, and surrounding areas. If you are slightly outside this radius, please reach out. We may be able to accommodate with a small travel adjustment.
I delivered at a Bay Area hospital. Is this care appropriate for me?
Yes. We support mothers delivering at Kaiser Santa Clara, Kaiser San Jose, Good Samaritan Hospital, Regional Medical Center, O'Connor Hospital, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, El Camino Hospital (Mountain View and Los Gatos), Stanford Hospital, and area birth centers. Our care complements your medical postpartum recovery with traditional Ayurvedic practices focused on deep tissue healing, nervous system support, and hormonal rebalancing.
How is this different from a postpartum doula?
Traditional postpartum doulas in the Bay Area typically start at $2,600 and focus on general household support, lactation help, and newborn care. Our Postpartum Care Suite is specifically an Ayurvedic recovery program rooted in lineage-based Indian wisdom. We focus deeply on your body's healing through abhyanga, belly binding, dinacharya protocols, and traditional care practices. We do not provide doula services like meal cooking or overnight newborn care, so we are more specialized and more accessible in price.
Who performs the in-home abhyanga?
A trained Ayurvedic practitioner who collaborates with Advaya Wellness. She is experienced in postpartum care, works exclusively with women, and follows traditional abhyanga protocols including hot potli therapy. You will meet her during the planning stage before your first session.
When should I start postpartum care?
Abhyanga typically begins around 7 to 10 days postpartum, once initial healing has stabilized. Yoga sessions usually start around week 4 to 6, or once you have been cleared by your provider. If you book during pregnancy, we will plan everything around your due date. If you are already postpartum, we can often begin within the week.
Can I book this if I delivered a few months ago?
Yes. While Ayurveda emphasizes the first 42 days as the most potent healing window, postpartum recovery continues for many months and years. If you delivered recently, or even up to a year ago, this package can be adapted to meet you where you are.
Is this care rooted in traditional Indian Ayurveda?
Yes. Shilpa was born and raised in India and trained directly under Ayurvedic Vaidyas and yoga gurus in South India, completing over 1,000 hours of lineage-based study. This is traditional Indian postpartum care, the way it has been offered to new mothers for thousands of years, now brought to families here in the Bay Area. This is especially meaningful for South Asian families who want culturally authentic care for their daughters and daughters-in-law.
Can this be gifted by a family member or friend?
Absolutely. This is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give a new mother, and a beloved tradition in Indian families where grandmothers, aunts, and in-laws gift postpartum care. Please contact us directly to arrange a gifted package. We will handle coordination sensitively with the new mother.
Is this a replacement for my doctor or midwife?
No. This is complementary wellness care. You should continue your regular postpartum medical care with your OB, midwife, or pediatrician. Our work supports your recovery alongside, not in place of, medical care.
I am already a prenatal client. Do I get a discount?
Yes. Existing prenatal clients who want to expand into the complete Postpartum Care Suite receive a loyalty discount during their second trimester. Please ask Shilpa directly in your next session.
You Deserve to Be Held Through This
The sacred window comes once for each child. Let us hold you through yours, the way generations of mothers before you were held.
