About me

Hello families! My name is Sarrah Hernandez, and I'm an Ayurvedic birth and postpartum doula and Ayurvedic women's health consultant based in Kapolei, Hawaiʻi. At the heart of my work is a commitment to building meaningful relationships with the women and families I serve. I believe pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood are profound rites of passage and not simply medical events to be managed, but transformative seasons that deserve to be nurtured with presence, knowledge, and compassionate support. My role is to help re-center women in their matrescence journey while serving as a bridge for families seeking care that extends beyond the clinical model and honors the whole person. As an integrative health practitioner, I blend evidence-informed education with traditional wisdom and nurturing practices that have often been lost in modern maternity care. I walk alongside women throughout pregnancy, offering personalized health and wellness guidance, weekly one-on-one prenatal yoga sessions, support as they adapt to the physical, emotional, and identity changes of pregnancy, and family-centered birth and postpartum preparation. After birth, I provide restorative Ayurvedic postpartum care focused on nourishing, protecting, and caring for the mother during the first 45 days as she recovers and transitions into motherhood. I recently moved to Oʻahu in February 2026 with my husband, who was born and raised here, and it is truly an honor to serve the women, babies, and families of Hawaiʻi who resonate with this relationship-centered, holistic model of care.
