Mother Centered
Postpartum Care
The immediate postpartum time lays the foundation for the rest of the mothering journey. It is a pivotal and sacred time in a woman’s life.
We must start treating it as such.
In Connection We Thrive
The weeks and months following the birth of your baby (or babies) is an incredibly special and significant time for processing and integrating the birth experience, bonding with your newborn, and finding new rhythms and balance in daily life. The postpartum time requires pulling our energy inward, slowing down, deep rest, warmth, and nourishment. It is a time when needs are high and support is essential. Just as a newborn baby is vulnerable and needs continuous support, so does the mother.
Choose from a variety of package offerings from below to suit your family’s needs.

Closing of the bones is a traditional ceremony wtth roots in Mexico and Russia as well as many other places around the earth. Pregnancy is a time where there is so much expansion; physical, emotional and spiritual expansion beyond anything we’ve ever been through before. Birth being the grand finale of this big expansion. This ceremony is a beautiful way to integrate all the nuggets of wisdom we have learned along the way and to feel a sense of coming back into the body. It is a time and space to feel held and seen in the bigness and importance of this journey of motherhood. Closing of the bones can be done anytime during the first 6 weeks and beyond.
Savannah Lamb
I am a devoted mother of two and an Innate Certified Postpartum Care Practitioner in service to mothers and families all throughout San Diego, CA.
I came into this work through my own lived experience of mothering in the modern world. The lack of resourcing, nourishment and support had me knowing that there had to be a better way. This propelled me into learning about the wisdom of the postpartum time. A lot of my experience came from my own inner work and hands on experience. I started where I could and with the resources I had. So I began cooking our meals more from scratch, learning about nutrient dense foods, reading books on the first 40 days, learning about plants and herbs, making my own herbal infusions.
I knew I wanted to start supporting mothers in the postpartum time so I immersed myself in trainings over the next few years. I first took a DONA postpartum doula training, which then led me to an Ayurvedic postpartum doula training. I became certified through Ayurvedic Mamas and was feeling more inspired then ever to support moms with these cross cultural practices. I started making mothers in my community soups and nourishing foods. I began deeply listening to the hearts of he mothers. The call became even more clear that this is where I was meant to be. In 2022 I took Innate Traditions Physiologic Postpartum Care training with Rachelle Seliga. It was truly life changing. It deepened my knowing of the significance of the postpartum time and just how incredibly important and life giving it is when tended with the respect and honor it deserves.
The work I am dedicated to is to bring these ancient ways of postpartum care back into the home. A remembrance of the sacredness of this time. A knowing that all mothers deserve and need postpartum care. That this is truly the way forward to create thriving life on this earth.
Through supporting the mothers with holistic intuitive bodywork and care practices mixed with culinary magic, I offer a deeply nourishing and wholesome experience. From this place of support, mothers reconnect to their own innate power and intuition as women.
