What is a Satvic birth doula
Sattvic describes anything that fosters balance, clarity, and peaceful strength—supporting both physical health and a calm, centered mind
A Sativc doula blends modern doula support with ancient wisdom, offering deeply nurturing, personalized care that honors childbirth as a physical, emotional, and spiritual transition—not just a medical event. Sattvic (or sāttvic) is a concept from Ayurveda and yogic philosophy that refers to the quality of purity, balance, clarity, and harmony. It comes from the three gunas—fundamental qualities of nature:

  • Sattva – purity, light, clarity, calm, wisdom

  • Rajas – activity, passion, stimulation, restlessness

  • Tamas – heaviness, inertia, dullness, darkness

When something is described as sattvic, it supports mental clarity, emotional calm, and overall wellbeing.

A sattvic lifestyle encourages:

  • Regular routines

  • Clean, peaceful environments

  • Mindfulness, meditation, and gentle yoga

  • Compassion, truthfulness, and moderation

  • Adequate rest and time in nature

In contexts of birth support, sattvic qualities may be encouraged through:

  • Calm, low-stimulation environments

  • Warm, nourishing meals

  • Gentle touch and grounding practices

  • Positive language, intention, and ritual
