About Priya

Hi, I’m Priya, founder of Ashwariya Ayurveda and Maternal & Newborn Concierge™**. I am an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Nutritionist, Certified Birth Doula, Lactation Consultant, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and Lamaze® Childbirth Educator. After a career in finance that included Goldman Sachs and fidessa, I stepped away to raise my three children. That chapter shaped my purpose: to be the person other parents can rely on to help them thrive in their careers and family lives. Since 1997, I have cared for more than 300 babies, including twins, premature infants, and NICU graduates. My experience spans birth support, newborn care, complex feeding journeys, postpartum recovery, and childhood sleep. Each family has strengthened my commitment to care that supports both children and their parents. Your mental health is a priority in my care; I make space for honest conversations about exhaustion, overwhelm, identity, and the emotional adjustments of parenthood. Together, we create realistic feeding, sleep, and recovery plans that respect your needs and capacity. When additional support is needed, I help connect families with licensed mental health professionals. My personalized services include: - **Birth preparation and support:** Lamaze® education, Spinning Babies® and Body Ready Method® techniques, comfort measures, partner preparation, and advocacy for your preferences. - **Postpartum recovery:** Ayurvedic nourishment, belly binding, restorative bodywork, and attentive care during the fourth trimester. - **Lactation and feeding:** Weighted feeds, breastfeeding support, pumping and flange guidance, combination feeding, bottle selection, and return-to-work planning. - **Newborn and overnight care:** Experienced support that creates opportunities for rest, recovery, and confidence in caring for your baby. - **Pediatric sleep and development:** Gentle, individualized guidance from infancy through early childhood, including support for neurodivergent children. - **Family nutrition:** Nourishing meal plans tailored to your preferences, routines, and stage of life. I empower families with the knowledge, practical skills, and reassurance to become confident parents. Your parenting style, cultural traditions, and personal aspirations guide our work together. **I believe having it all is possible with the right village.** You deserve to feel supported as a parent while continuing to grow as a person, partner, and professional. I would be honored to be part of your village. **I accept Maven Health benefits and FSA/HSA payments, and I am Carrot-approved.** For other insurance companies, I can provide an itemized invoice with my credentials and National Provider Identifier (NPI) for you to submit for reimbursement, subject to your plan’s coverage. **Message me here on BornBir to schedule a complimentary consultation.** Certification(s): Member of the American Academy of Drugless Practitioners - Ayurvedic Practitioner Birth and Postpartum Sleep Consultant - Newborn Sleep - Potty Training

The Best Support We Could Have Asked For! We had the immense blessing of working with Priya for both labor/delivery and postpartum care, and I can confidently say she was one of the greatest gifts of our entire journey into parenthood. As first-time parents, the transition can feel overwhelming, but her presence brought comfort, confidence, and so much peace into our home. From the very first moment, she was gentle, knowledgeable, and incredibly nurturing. Her care is rooted in deep Ayurvedic wisdom, and she combines it beautifully with modern newborn support. She went above and beyond in every way. ✨ Labor & Delivery Support Having her with me during labor and delivery made all the difference. She was calm, encouraging, and present through every contraction and every moment of uncertainty. Her guidance helped me stay mentally strong and physically supported. I truly don’t know how I would have done it without her. ✨ Newborn Care She cared for our baby with so much love — from Ayurvedic oil massages, creating gentle daily routines, helping with gas/colic relief, and supporting healthy sleep patterns. Every single thing was done so thoughtfully and respectfully. ✨ Postpartum Recovery For Me She didn’t just help with the baby — she took care of me as a mother: - Ayurvedic belly binding for core support - Warm oil massages - Herbal teas and foods that supported healing and milk production - Emotional and mental support on days I needed it most She made sure I rested, nourished my body, and felt seen and cared for — something every new mother deserves. ✨ Food & Meals Her freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals were amazing. Everything was warm, nourishing, and made to help my body recover and build strength. You can tell she puts her heart into every part of her work. ✨ Family Support She guided my husband, helped us understand newborn cues, and even shared tips that made our whole home more peaceful and soothing for the baby. Her knowledge is priceless. If you are considering Ayurvedic newborn care or postpartum support, don’t think twice. She is truly gifted at what she does. She combines expertise, intuition, and compassion in a way that is rare to find. We felt protected, encouraged, and cared for every single day. We absolutely love her and are so grateful for everything she brought into our lives. She will always be a special part of our birth and postpartum story. ❤️

I was searching for postpartum recovery support, mainly centered around meal prep. Priya reached out to me and we got on a quick call. Priya has a lot of knowledge on postpartum recovery and specialized Ayurvedic meal prep. We agreed on Priya supporting me and my family for a few weeks. We had another call before my delivery date and she gave me some tips for post delivery. She started a few days after I went home. Priya was also extremely great - kind, warm, and a delight for my toddler to be around. He enjoyed coming home each day and spending time with Priya. She quickly understood what he liked and would plan activities for my toddler. In addition she prepped lots of yummy meals and always had wonderful snacks and teas ready for me. I can say that Priya helped immensely with my recovery and can’t recommend her enough.
