YOUR AYURVEDIC DOULA

Registered Nurse - International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) - DOULA - Home of The Breastfeeding Academy - Old Orchard Beach Yoga

Suzanne Nicklas, RN, IBCLC, Doula
Your Ayurvedic Doula 
Portland, Maine

"Nurturing you as you nurture new life"

Welcome to Your Ayurvedic Doula


Pregnancy and postpartum are sacred seasons of transformation — times when your body, mind, and spirit are asking for deeper care, rest, and nourishment. At Your Ayurvedic Doula, I offer gentle, holistic support grounded in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda — the art of living in harmony with nature and your own inner rhythms.


As an Ayurvedic Doula, my passion is helping mothers feel truly seen, supported, and restored. Whether you’re preparing to welcome your baby or adjusting to the tender weeks after birth, I provide care that honors your unique constitution, your emotional landscape, and your journey into motherhood.  


My Philosophy of Care 


Ayurveda teaches that healing begins with balance — balance in our daily routines, in what we eat, how we rest, and how we connect to the world around us. Pregnancy and the postpartum window are especially powerful times to embrace this wisdom.


Through a combination of:


Nourishing Ayurvedic guidance on diet and lifestyle

Restorative postpartum rituals

Emotional and energetic support

Gentle education for new parents 


Beautifully curated products for new moms


…I help you create space for deep healing and renewal, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. 


How I Support You 


Every mother’s path is different, and your care should be too. Whether you’re seeking: 


• Birth Doula Support to prepare for a mindful, grounded birth 


• Ayurvedic Postpartum Care to rest and restore after delivery 


• Lactation Guidance and Education, in order to feel confident in feeding your baby 


…you’ll receive personalized support that weaves together Ayurvedic wisdom, doula care, lactation support and heart-centered presence. 


About Me 


I’m deeply inspired by the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, its simplicity, beauty, and timeless truth that when mothers are nurtured, families thrive. My work as an Ayurvedic Doula is an expression of that passion: to share this beautiful philosophy of care with women during one of the most profound seasons of their lives.

Here, you’ll find a space of compassion, curiosity, and connection — where modern motherhood meets ancient wisdom. 


Begin Your Journey 


Let’s create a plan that supports you...  body, mind, and spirit... through every stage of your motherhood journey.
