What This Treatment Does

This treatment supports the body’s natural recovery. Using warm, non-stimulating Ayurvedic oils and slow, reassuring strokes, it helps ease muscular fatigue, support circulation, calm the nervous system, and replenish what pregnancy and labour have drawn out. The focus is not “fixing” - it’s restoring steadiness, comfort, and a sense of being held.

Why This Works

In Ayurveda, childbirth significantly disturbs Vata - the principle of movement, nerves, and recovery, which can lead to pain, anxiety, or slow healing. This massage uses warmth, oil, and rhythm to stabilise Vata and encourage repair. Receiving regular massage in the weeks after birth supports steady healing, prevents lingering tension, and provides a vital space for rest as you adapt to motherhood.

Best For

Choose this treatment if you’re seeking gentle, supportive care after birth to:

• Ease muscular soreness, back or pelvic tension.
• Support recovery after vaginal birth or caesarean (once cleared).
• Reduce nervous exhaustion or emotional sensitivity.
• Improve sleep quality and post-birth rest.
• Feel grounded and reconnected to your body.

Key Benefits

• Encourages physical recovery and comfort.
• Calms the nervous system during post-birth adjustment.
• Supports circulation and tissue nourishment.
• Helps relieve accumulated tension and fatigue.
• Promotes emotional steadiness and deep rest.

How to Prepare

This care can begin when you feel ready, typically after the first week postpartum, and always following any necessary medical clearance. Please inform us of your delivery type so we can tailor the session to your comfort.

Important Note

Oils used are pregnancy - and post-natal-appropriate Ayurvedic formulations - non-stimulating and free from essential oil blends. This is therapeutic Ayurvedic care, not aromatherapy.

What our clients are saying

"I came to the opening of spa ayurda and was impressed by the way the place looked. I have been intrigued by Ayurveda as I am of Indian origin but had never tried it. I booked for the tri- dosha shortly after. The staff was welcoming from the start. The room was comfortably warm. The therapist checked the temperature of the oil and was always sensitive to my comfort. I did find the massage beds slightly uncomfortable though especially where you rest your face. This was minor though as I felt great after the massage. I am pregnant now and would love to go back and try the prenatal massage. I think spa ayurda is a great east meets west concept. Thanks"

Chand Sahrawat | Wellness Treatments

Loved the warm room and amount of oil. As a new mum it was lovely to have some time focused on myself, after the massage I felt refreshed, relaxed & revived!

Ayurvedic Insight

Ayurveda recognises the post-natal period as a time when the mother’s vitality has been outwardly directed. Traditional cultures prioritised abhyanga after delivery - not as luxury, but as essential nourishment to rebuild ojas, the reserve responsible for immunity, emotional stability, and long-term strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Ayurveda is the ancient healthcare system of India. It is a Sanskrit word - Ayur means 'life' or 'daily living' and Veda means 'science'. Ayurveda then is the name given to the scientific study of life, based on the eternal principle that everyone should live in a healthy & balanced state.

Ayurveda believes that a properly nourished body, that is free from toxins, is the abode of a creative mind and indomitable spirit.

Ayurveda can treat diseases of all systems of the body. There are special treatment for the diseases of the elderly, women and children. Disorders of the nervous, respiratory, digestive, circulatory and reproductive systems as well as infectious diseases, mental disorders and many more illnesses can be successfully treated with Ayurvedic herbal preparations & procedures.

Many diseases for which modern medicine has no effective cure are successfully treated by Ayurveda. 

Research institutes & Ayurvedic medical colleges in India are engaged in constant research and development which has resulted in bringing to light the efficacy of many age old formulations.

Well-documented studies confirm the breakthroughs in this field, including the successful treatment of diabetes, arthritis & cancer.

Modern medicine treats symptomatically rather than looking to the root cause of the problem. This stems from the view that all people are more or less the same. Ayurveda’s special contribution is healing the cause of the symptoms by considering the uniqueness of each patient and by helping each body to heal itself. 

Ayurveda has perfected healing treatments and herbal preparations to keep the physical, mental and emotional health of a person in its prime throughout life. It is contrary to the current practice of waiting until symptoms appear before getting medical help or only seeking treatment when a disease manifests.

Ayurveda has a simple treatment plan:

• Stop the further accumulation of toxins in the body by improving digestion. Food is then “cooked” properly, preventing the build up of toxins.
• Remove accumulated toxins from the body through herbal preparations and specific Ayurvedic treatments like massage.
• Nourish the depleted tissues through diet, herbal preparations & lifestyle changes.

• Ayurveda is based on the subjective understanding of the body.

• Ayurveda aims to improve the wellbeing of everybody and does not belong to a particular country or religion.

• Treatment is based on the individual as a whole.

• It is a much more systematic & holistic approach to achieve perfect balance between mind, body & soul.

• Whatever is present in the universe, Ayurveda recognises as also being present in the human body.

• The Universe according to Ayurveda is composed of the five great elements - Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth (Known as Panchmahabhuta).

• These elements are responsible for all the living and nonliving substances in this universe.

• The human body is also composed of the five great elements

• Man is said to be the microcosm of this macrocosm

• These elements are recognised in the form of three Doshas or biological humours - Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

• The three Doshas are the intelligences behind each and every function that occurs in the body:


Air & Ether = Vata


Fire & Water = Pitta


Earth & Water = Kapha



• The Doshas govern the psycho-biological and physio-pathological changes in the body.

• Vata, Pitta and Kapha can be found in every body cell, tissue and organ.

• The level of each Dosha varies from person to person which ultimately determines an individual’s body type (Prakriti).

• It is the most eco-friendly system of medicine as it only uses materials that are natural and compatible to the body.

• Each individual has a unique bodily intelligence that has the power to keep the body in perfect health as long as this intelligence stays in balance.

• Ayurveda gives us a detailed & logical explanation of way the body, mind & soul interact.

Ayurveda recognises three primary energies or Doshas in the body, Vata, Pitta & Kapha. Together they regulate every physiological and psychological characteristic from basic cellular processes to the most complex biological functions.

When these forces are in a state of natural balance the defence mechanism of the body works at peak efficiency. But when this balance is disturbed due to an incompatible diet, lifestyle, lack or excess of exercise or mental stress, then the body's immunity can be affected. This encourages the growth of bacteria and viruses which will cause sickness and disease.



VATA

Vata – represents momentum. It is responsible for all the bodily activities and sensations. It controls the movement of blood through the circulatory system, breathing, the delivery of nutrients to the cells and the removal & excretion of waste products.

Location – Colon, bladder, thighs, hips, legs & kidneys.

Qualities – Rough, dry, cold, mobile, light, quick, clear, astringent and expansive


PITTA

Pitta – represents metabolism. It governs digestion and metabolic transformation of nutrients into biologically usable forms. It also imparts the capacity to absorb ideas and impressions and bestows intelligence and an enthusiasm for life.

Location - Small intestines, liver, gallbladder lower part of the stomach, spleen and pancreas

Qualities - Hot, Sharp, Penetrating, Light, Liquid, Sour, Oily and Fleshy


KAPHA

Kapha – provides substance and support. It gives strength and stability, both physically and psychologically. It enhances resistance to disease and promotes the healing process.

Qualities - Cold, Damp, Dense, Heavy, Oily, Slow, Sweet, Stable and Moist

Some people feel clearer and more confident immediately because they finally understand what’s going on. Results vary based on the chronicity and depth of the imbalance. You can often feel a shift in energy, digestion, and sleep within the first 2–4 weeks of consistently applying the recommendations. Deeper, long-term conditions may require a commitment of several months.

No. Ayurveda is a root-cause approach. Results depend on consistency, and the most meaningful changes come from steady daily practice.

An Ayurvedic practitioner will carry out a through body assessment & case history to determine which of the three bodily intelligences are affected, whether Vata, Pitta or Kapha. The practitioner will then assess how deep this imbalance has gone and which tissues have been affected.

The practitioner will then assess whether the imbalance is in its preliminary stages or has gone deeper into the body to manifest as a particular ailment and will then structure a specific program for the client to bring the body intelligence back into balance.
