Let’s Meet…

  • Chandra Swenson LC, RYT® 500, YACEP®, Certified Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula

So so so nice to meet you. I was born in Montana & had the extreme luck of coming to Hawaii in 2004 to study and live. I felt so supported on this island that I stayed and had my first baby girl in 2008. I have always been fond of the science of Ayurveda and Yoga so I went to India in 2011 to go deeper into my studies.

  • After some time I felt like I needed more guidance so I moved to San Francisco, where I had my baby boy working with a midwife to do a successful home birth. After his birth I felt as though I knew what my next move in life was going to be, and that was to fully dedicate myself to the birthing Mother specifically in the early Postpartum stages. This is when I made the plan to become an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant).

  • Here we are today, I moved back to Hawaii (at this point I consider Oahu home), and I am thrilled to be an advocate for families, mothers, and women here.

    “I can't say enough good things about Chandra she is incredibly talented and knowledgeable about everything, we are first time parents and we don't know what we would have done without her. She is the best doula and also just the best person she really taught us so much and she is so caring and was always there for us and always went above and beyond for us she really made us feel like family. You can tell she puts so much love into everything she does and she is so thoughtful. I 100% recommend her to anyone you would be so lucky to have her. Also our baby 100% recommends her too he really loves her!”

    “Hiring Chandra as my postpartum doula who specializes in Ayurveda was the best decision we made for our family's well-being. From day one, she seamlessly integrated Ayurvedic practices into our daily routine, providing nurturing care and guidance that truly honored the postpartum period. Her expertise in Ayurveda brought a sense of balance and tranquility to our home, from soothing herbal teas to nourishing snacks tailored to my postpartum needs. With her gentle touch and wisdom, she not only supported my physical recovery but also nurtured my emotional and spiritual journey into motherhood. I cannot recommend her highly enough for any family seeking a holistic and enriching postpartum experience.”

  • Alicia C.

    “Chandra was my postpartum Ayurvedic doula, and she was a huge part of why I healed so quickly. Having an emergency c-section (with twins!), Chandra immediately catered to my needs of dropping off warming foods and herbs to the hospital to start the healing process. She knows exactly what a new momma needs to relax her mind and soothe her aching body. Chandra continued to help me heal throughout my 4th trimester, I was honestly feeling back to myself after the third week.”

    “After I came home from the hospital, Soi arrived and cared for me and my baby for 8 weeks. The level of care that was provided went above and beyond my expectations. Soi truly took care of me, so that I could be there for my new baby and toddler and be present with them to enjoy this precious time together. Soi cooked nutritious and warming meals for me, she provided daily bodywork to help my sore muscles, and she was there every step of the way encouraging me. She quickly became a very close friend that I knew that I could rely on. She was incredibly hands on with my newborn, making sure that I had time to rest and recover. It was such a relief to have someone in my home that I felt like I could trust, and who I genuinely believed cared about my and my baby's well being.”

    “One of the best things I did for my postpartum recovery was working with Chandra. She was gentle, knowledgeable, kind and super fun to be around. My son was always calm around her and still to this day listens to her playlist (he's 10 months old:) and chills out. I cannot recommend her enough!”

    “Chandra is truly a healer everything she touches turns to gold! She is so talented and incredible and helped me through a very difficult situation, I could barely walk when I met her and was flowing through yoga with her by the end! I don't know how we would have done it without her, she is so smart and has so much experience it is our first child and she helped us more than I can say in words. The baby loves her so much and he has some strong opinions about people but she has the best presence and really knows how to care for everyone around her with such love and grace. “
