Originally from Boston, I relocated to Colorado with my husband in 2021.
I started ananda nourishment as an attempt to merge my passion for the perinatal population, education, yoga/ayurveda and nutrition. I’ve been a yoga instructor since 2019, a Certified Nutritionist since 2023, and a Postpartum Doula since 2025. I’m a student at MSU Denver pursuing a pathway to become a Registered Dietitian to better help nourish perinatal families in the near future.
After having a difficult first birthing experience, I knew that the perinatal population needed more access to support and education, which is how I found myself going down this pathway.
I’m a mom of 2 wonderful children, and with polar opposite pregnancy and birth experiences, I truly believe that every pregnant person and their families should feel supported, nourished, and confident, and I want to honor that families know the best decisions for them. As a one time cesarean birther and one time VBAC birther, I have so much compassion for the perinatal period, and want to share that with my clients.
I am proud to say that I strive to create more equity in the perinatal population. I aim to be inclusive of non-traditional families, use language that feels right for your family, and provide resources to providers who understand your unique dynamics. Feel free to inquire if you have any further questions.
With love,
Arlee
