We joined in conversation with Kirstin Ford, a Los Angeles-based ceremonialist, reiki master, sound healer, and folk herbalist who specializes in women’s and maternal wellness. Kirstin harnesses the power of both science and ancient Ayurvedic ceremonies, rites, and rituals to help new mothers throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. She explains to us the importance of a “mother-centered’ approach—including self-love, spiritual harmony, and emotional support for the modern woman—and makes a compelling case for integrating ancient practices to lay the ground for a better experience with new motherhood. Read on for more of Kirstin’s wisdom on why maternal rituals are important for nurturing the mind, body, and soul—for both you and your baby.
