:: Hello there! Allow me to introduce myself ✨🙏✨ I am Cali Leola. I created Holi Mamma as a heart offering of holistic health education, resources, and tools for women in fertility, pregnancy, and through the postpartum period.
As an herbalist, nutritionist, and yoga & meditation instructor I felt very equipped for my healthy and vibrant pregnancy and put all of my experience and knowledge towards preparing for the birth of my son. 26 hours of breath, presence, vibration, support, and earth-shattering spirit perfectly and naturally brought my son into this world.
But all of my knowledge, experience, and practice could not have prepared me for the rite of passage I had just opened the portal to. With all of the tools in my toolbox I still could not care for myself even close to what I needed postpartum. Surrounded by a community of friends, herbalists and healers, I didn’t even know what or how to ask for help.
It took 11 months after my son was born to sleep longer than a 2-hr stretch, to regulate my nervous system to not constantly be in a trauma response, and to cocreate in the healing process of my body from labor. It took 18 months for me to feel like I had transitioned into a mother, moving beyond the grief, isolation, pain, and shock.
It is my mission to support women from conception through postpartum to feel vital, safe, and supported in body, mind, and spirit as they transition into motherhood and into motherhood again. ::
