Seema is the most caring, magical and intuitive Ayurvedic Doctor a woman could wish for in preparation, pregnancy and postpartum care. As a first time mum at 40, I knew very early on in pregnancy that I wanted to achieve the best pregnancy and birth experience that I could. What I didn’t know was how I could do this until I discovered Seema in my second trimester after reading about her in Jasmine Hemsley’s blog. I knew immediately that this was the right path for me having always been fascinated with Ayurveda and its power.

I contacted Seema at Artful Nurturing and invested in a package that was right for me. Straight away Seema expertly diagnosed my current state of health and well-being (turns out I am Pitta dominant) and she knew precisely what herbs/diet I needed to follow to correct imbalances to enjoy this beautiful and precious time. I committed to following and implementing Seema’s personalised program and I quickly felt the benefits including a deep connection with my baby. At each interaction I would be monitored and reassessed to make any adaptations for each different and unique stage. My energy levels were sustainable, hormones balanced, fluid retention melted away and I had a general sense of calm, grounded balance as my pregnancy progressed. In addition I also joined Seema’s weekly virtual meditations for 30mins that I found to nourish the soul and very deeply relaxing. I also received monthly treatments in clinic and then fortnightly in my third trimester. These treatments are just magical, I have never experienced anything like it! Seema has the most intelligent fingers and intuitively “knows” what treatment you need, where you need it and why you need it, from reflexology, massage and creative healing. During the lymphatic and pelvic drainage you can literally hear, as well as feel, the fluid drain away!! I received a lot of compliments on how healthy I looked, for me this was more of a by product of how I felt from the inside.
