Ayurvedic Postpartum Practitioner
Gia is a mother, doula, Birthing from Within–trained childbirth educator, Ayurvedic postpartum practitioner, and lactation specialist devoted to honoring the innate wisdom of mothers and the sacred Mother Baby bond. Drawing from both professional training and lived experience, she offers holistic, continuous support from pregnancy through birth and early motherhood.
Gia’s work is rooted in embodied birth education, emotional resilience, and family centered care. She believes deeply that mothers hold the innate wisdom to birth and nurture their babies, and her role is to support that knowing through education, ritual, and compassionate presence.
Her approach blends Birthing from Within mentorship with Ayurvedic informed care, tending not only to the physical body, but also to the nervous system, emotional landscape, and spiritual transformation that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum invite. Gia’s care honors intuition, self-trust, and the inner journey of becoming a mother.
As a first and foremost community centered birth worker, Gia is passionate about making holistic wellness, coaching, and education accessible to women and families. For those who desire it, she also offers faith based birth support, approaching labor as a sacred experience rooted in prayer, reverence, and trust.
At the heart of Gia’s philosophy is a deep respect for the Mother Baby dyad. Her work supports attachment-based practices, holistic postpartum recovery, and evidence informed lactation care, always honoring each family’s values, choices, and unique rhythm.
Gia is honored to be part of the collaborative care team at Inner Healing Holistic Wellness Center, supporting families through one of life’s most profound transitions with warmth, wisdom, and compassion.
