A R V A M A M M A

A R V A translates to fertile mother. A mother gives and nurtures life. She is the foundation and the pillar of the family. A healthy, happy mother equals a healthy happy family. For a mother to be able to nurture a child the mother needs to be nurtured herself. Both physically and mentally. When a mother thrives, the whole family thrives.

A R V A M A M M A is a sisterhood and community, a space to feel and go through the emotions, to listen, share, ground, connect, nourish, move and heal. It’s support as you navigate the stages of motherhood, tapping into your own intuition and a guide to nourishing yourself and baby.

To become a mother is to leave the maiden and transition into a new version of oneself. That transition can sometimes be emotional. When we come together to connect and support with love and compassion, we nourish ourselves, our sisters, our babies and the community as a whole.

My path to nourishing mothers and their babies began with my own struggles to get pregnant. I have always been fascinated with the transitional and magical time of pregnancy and was inspired in Guatemala while getting certified as a prenatal yoga teacher. It was a profound and magical experience where I found my calling to support mothers on their journey from conception through pregnancy and beyond.

The journey to motherhood is such a pivotal moment in a woman’s life. A mother is not only growing another human being inside of her but also entering a new stage in her life where she leaves her maiden self behind to take on this new role as mother. That is a monumental transition that is often overlooked. A mother gets nine months to prepare but it takes double that time if not longer to adjust to this new role. Going through this time alone and without support is not how our ancestors evolved nor is it giving mothers a chance to feel their best. For centuries and in many traditional cultures today a new mother is supported by other women from her family and community. She is nurtured and taken care of so she can fully heal, embrace this time as a new mother, bond with her baby and take her time to transition into this new way of being.
