lovely to meet you
My name is Emily Harrison. I am a certified Postpartum Ayurvedic Nutrition & Support Doula, Birth Doula, and Advanced Ayurvedic Practitioner. I have a Doctoral Certificate in Ayurvedic medicine through Ayurved Sadhana, approved by the State of Colorado and recognized by the National Ayurvedic Medical Association.
My main passion is supporting families during their Fourth Trimester and Postpartum Recovery.

I am honored to be here
For 10 years of my adulthood, I was fortunate enough to travel and live abroad. During that time I was exposed to several different systems of medicine. Because I often found myself in locations that lacked modern medical care I began researching natural remedies and disease prevention. Without reliable medicinal facilities nearby, prevention became the best option for staying safe and healthy. When I heard about Ayurveda, it made so much sense. I tried to teach myself but it was too complex to learn without the guidance of a true teacher. After living between the Caribbean and West Africa for 10 years, I moved back to the States and pursued a formal education in Ayurveda.
​
When I found the Practitioner program at Ayurved Sadhana in Superior, Colorado, founded by Dr Bharat Vaidya and his wife Anupama Vaidya, I signed up immediately. This was a pivotal point in my life. After the first class, I cried on the drive home. I felt like I was on a path of purpose. Ayurveda puts health back in the hands of the individual. It empowers us to make diet and lifestyle decisions that yield powerful results, without being a slave to lifelong medication. It gives us the tools we need to heal naturally and it looks at each person as a unique being, rather than just a set of symptoms.
​​
As I continued my eduction, I began to feel a strong pull toward birth work - specifically Postpartum Care. The lack of support for this Sacred Window was immediately apparent. The minimal resources available combined with unrealistic expectations on mamas and families lit my soul on fire. The work has been so eye-opening and humbling. Not only have I had the opportunity to support families in Northern Colorado, I have been called to Costa Rica, St John and St Thomas USVI, Florida, California, and Connecticut to serve families who specifically sought out the transformative power of Ayuvedic Postpartum Care. As my husband and I being our own family, my focus will be on supporting my community and expanding the awareness for better Fourth Trimester Care for our local mamas and families.
​​​​​​
Ayurveda is a system of hope. Postpartum is a time to Mother the Mother.
It is my honor to share these passions with you.

Dr Bharat Vaidya and Anupama Vaidya, I am endlessly grateful for the knowledge and wisdom you have given me.
I will always be your humble student.
