Sacred

POSTPARTUM CARE

Holistic in-home care for women & families in the Louisville, Kentucky area.

Holistic postpartum care is your birthright.

You have welcomed your baby Earthside and are deep in the newborn motherhood journey. There is an outpouring of celebration and joy from all directions…

But all too often a severe lack of support. All over the world and throughout history it’s been expected that new mothers receive intensive pampering and care at least during the first 40 days of their baby’s lives. Although this is not the norm in Western culture, rest and recuperation is absolutely essential for healing and a joyful start with this  new life.  

A physiologically optimal postpartum period can lead a mother to wild creativity, explosive joy, and a powerful inner-compass that guides her forever.

And it requires an immense amount of support in all areas of life. You deserve the compassionate care of a wise woman in your home to hold space for you, meet your needs, and create the environment in which your Innate Knowing as Mother can thrive.

I’M LARA LASKY, YOUR

Innate Postpartum Care Practitioner

I have always considered myself a nurturer and helper.  I deeply care for the earth and the people that live on them.  I love making soul connections and hearing about people’s journeys.  I attended my first birth, of my nephew, 22 years ago and was hooked on the magic of it all. I went on to attend births with family and friends and when I became a little disillusioned with my first career as an environmental scientist, I began as a volunteer birth attendant. I fell in love and knew this was my life’s calling.

Since then, I found myself deeply loving the sweet nature of postpartum care: tending to a mother so intimately in her sacred postpartum window is an honor that fulfills me in such a unique way.

I started a Doula Agency in Chicago that has blossomed into a successful community of women serving women in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I am so joyful to be claiming my own personal path as a certified Innate Postpartum Practitioner in Louisville, KY. and intuitively serving women of this community in postpartum.

Yoni Steaming

I facilitate Yoni Steams throughout your postpartum and provide all the necessary equipment for you to continue steaming when I’m not present. Steaming supports internal and external tissue repair, uterine cleansing and toning, relaxation, and circulation. It is a beautiful self care practice that can be continued into motherhood.

CEREMONY

CLOSING OF THE

Bones

A GRAND

During birth, your physical body expands and opens powerfully… as do the deeper layers of your being: the emotional, spiritual, and energetic bodies. These energetic portals open to allow your baby to travel Earthside. The Closing of the Bones is an ancient practice that spans across the globe and exists in some variation, on every continent of ancient civilization. In its essence, the Closing of the Bones is a ceremony to both physically “close” the body and re-align the bones and organs after such powerful opening in birth. This process also supports closing the emotional and spiritual energy of birth, to close a chapter of pregnancy and birth, and ceremoniously honor the portals that the mother has walked through - to help her fully complete her postpartum window and emerge into integrated motherhood with bliss.

A Beautiful Closing Ceremony…

I will prepare herbs on the stove while you share your birth story in full, and process any pieces of the story that need to be more deeply explored. I will then offer a full-body massage with warm oils to support your deep relaxation in preparation for the ceremony. Throughout our time, I am setting the space with music, sage cleansing, and any other elements that will help you soften.

The herbs are used to prepare a warm bath after your massage, where you can fully embrace a deep state of presence with all of the elements - fire, air, water, and earth. In this space, you can heal, process, or just be. I offer songs and chants for your sacred womb. After your bath, we begin the Closing of the Bones.

I wrap each of your primary energy centers in sacred cloths (Rebozos) to close your bones and energetic portals. As you are fully wrapped, I will cleanse your space, sing, pray, offer reiki, or guide a deep meditation. Finally, I will gently unwrap you and allow you to re-emerge into the world as a new woman: a fully integrated, embodied MOTHER. We conclude by holding space for any sharing or processing of the experience that you feel called to speak.

The entire process can take around 4 hours on average.
