Shakti Padmini

About me

Hi, my name is Shakti, I'm a certified birth & postpartum doula, and also a certified yoga teacher (prenatal, postnatal...), and an Ayurvedic practitioner, specializing in bodywork and healing therapies. I love working with herbs, energies and other gifts mama nature provides. From the caring lens of ayurveda I view pregnancy, birth and motherhood as a very sacred time of life deserving much respect, nurturing and care of the mind, body and spirit. I also believe in the profound wisdom and power of woman's body to give birth naturally and peacefully trusting her inner guidance. I'm in awe of the role of her partner and magnificent impact of her birth experience. My intent is co-creating wellness, happiness and harmony within all stages of parenthood. I offer many sacred rituals and ceremonies to make this stage of life even more special if desired. I spend a lot of time in nature, especially in water. I love to swim in the bay and dip in local streams, talk to trees. I love to ride & massage horses, forage for wild herbs and make medicines, dance, sing, paint and write (including children books), even have a little Blisshorse art shop on etsy. Love to spend time with my family. I'm a mama of two grown children and one newly born grandchild.
