Ananda Nourishment
Ananda Nourishment offers holistic, evidence-informed care for every phase of the perinatal journey.
Whether you’re preparing for birth or navigating life with a newborn, I offer prenatal and postpartum yoga, postpartum doula support,
Hypnobabies Childbirth Education, and nutrition guidance—all designed to meet you where you are.
Postpartum Doula Care: Because You Deserve Support
A postpartum doula should offer nonjudgmental, trauma-informed care during the early days and weeks after birth.
If you need help with physical recovery support, guidance on infant care, a confidence boost, breastfeeding support, emotional reassurance, sibling support, warm meals, or access to evidence based or ayurvedic guidance, I’m your girl.
You don’t have to do this alone I offer flexible packages to meet your needs during the fourth trimester and serve families through the Colorado Front Range, including Boulder, Denver, Manitou Springs, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, Monument, Castle Pines, Falcon, Fountain, Pueblo and communities in between!
As
Hypnobabies® Hypnobirthing
Hypnobabies is a complete evidence based childbirth education course that also teaches medical grade somnambulistic hypnosis technqiues to retrain the inner mind in a positive way which can help lessen discomort and fear from the birthing experience. With adequate preparation, Hypno-students can experience easier, more comfortable births.
What am I signing up for?
- Hypnobabies classes run for 6 weeks and are usually about 3-3.5 hrs in groups no larger than 6 couples
- The course was adapted with permission from Gerald Kein’s Painless Childbirth Program techniques
- Over the course of those 6 weeks, not only do students practice self-hypnosis in each class, but they get a comprehensive childbirth education course including the various options and pathways that may present themselves during a student’s birthing time, and in the postpartum period.
- Classes are typically offered once seasonally, so its best to plan ahead!
- Access to my Hypno-friendly birth workers and professionals who help pregnant people, their babies, and their families!

Why work with me?
My I’ve
I’ve been studying anatomy, physiology, yoga, and Ayurveda for over 15 years.
My Postpartum Doula training was a natural next step after teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga, having my own kids, and seeing the gaps. in support.
I search to find the intersections between eastern and western sciences.
Not only am I a trained professional, but I have lived experience as a VBAC mom – one time cesarean, one time vaginal birther.
Inclusivity is one of my core values. If you’d consider your family “nontraditional,” you don’t have to worry about whether or not I’d support you or refer you to supportive providers.
While I recognize I’m a professional, I also consider myself forever a student. Its important to me to deepen my education, understanding, and compassion. I work collaboratively with families, practice gentle parenting, and pull from childcare philosophies such as Piaget and Montessori.
If you’re ready to feel supported, or have questions about whether or not any of my services are right for you, do not hesitate to reach out for a consult or a meet and greet. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll help you find who is!
