Integrative Women’s Health Consulting
Her Sacred Cradle offers Ayurvedic women's wellness education and individualized consultations for women navigating changes in digestion, energy, menstrual health, nourishment, stress and the transitions of womanhood.
Ayurveda + Women's Health + Pattern Recognition + Depth Oriented Inquiry
For women who want to understand their body beyond symptoms, quick fixes and one-size-fits-all advice.
WHAT I HELP WOMEN UNDERSTAND
Sometimes your body is telling you something you haven't learned how to read yet.
You may be experiencing:
-
digestive issues, bloating or irregular digestion
-
PMS or changes in your cycle
-
fluctuations in energy
-
cravings or changes in appetite
-
Weight gain and trouble with weight-loss
-
feeling anxious, overwhelmed or depleted
-
difficulty sleeping or feeling rested
-
feeling disconnected from your body
-
recurring symptoms that keep coming back
-
knowing what you "should" be doing but struggling to follow through
These experiences are information.
My work helps you look at the bigger picture—not just what you're experiencing, but the qualities, habits, rhythms and patterns that may be influencing it.
The best part? This work is for all stages of womanhood.
We Don't Look at One Piece in Isolation
THE BODY
What are you noticing?
Your digestion, energy, cycle, sleep and other everyday signals.
THE WAY YOU LIVE
How are you living?
Your food, sleep, movement, rest, environment and daily routines.
THE PATTERNS
What keeps repeating?
Your habits, conditioning, behaviours, emotional responses and automatic ways of responding to life.
This is pattern recognition.
Rather than immediately asking, “How do I fix this?” we first ask, “What is happening here?”
Womanhood Is Made of Thresholds
MENARCHE:
Learning a changing body.
MOTHERHOOD:
Pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE:
When the rhythm changes again.
LIFE TRANSITIONS:
Grief, career changes, caregiving, divorce, identity shifts and starting over.
The body changes. Life changes. Who we are changes with it.
Her Sacred Cradle is interested in what happens when the way you've been living no longer fits the woman you're becoming.

90-Minute Ayurvedic Consultation
Not sure what you need? Start here. We'll look at your current patterns, your daily rhythms and the changes you're experiencing, then identify where it makes sense to begin.
This may be right for you if:
You're new to Ayurveda and want someone to help you understand where to begin.
You're experiencing changes in digestion, energy, cycle, mood, cravings or overall wellbeing.
You've tried making changes but aren't sure what's actually relevant to your body.
You want context—not just another list of things you're supposed to do.

WHEN THE VISIBLE EXPERIENCE ISN'T THE WHOLE STORY...
Pattern Interruption Intensive
Sometimes you know exactly what you want to change—and still find yourself repeating the same behaviour.
You keep overgiving.
You struggle to set boundaries.
You push through exhaustion.
You reach for food when you're uncomfortable.
You understand what you should do, but something keeps pulling you back into the familiar pattern.
This is where we look beneath the behaviour.
The Pattern Interruption Intensive combines coaching, depth oriented inquiry and Ayurvedic practices to explore the conditioning and patterns that may be reinforcing your visible experiences.

Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Are Major Thresholds of Womanhood
Ayurvedic Maternal Wellness Support
Alongside my women's wellness work, I provide birth and postpartum doula support for women and families in Halifax, Bedford and surrounding HRM communities.
My approach combines practical doula support with education around nourishment, rest, recovery and the transition into motherhood.
Virtual Support
Work with me from anywhere through my virtual maternal wellness program.
In-Home Support
Personalized postpartum support in Bedford, Halifax and surrounding HRM communities.
You don't necessarily need more information.
There is no shortage of information telling women what to eat, how to exercise, how to regulate themselves, or what they should be doing differently.
My work begins somewhere else.
What if you understood your own patterns?
What if you could recognize what your body was communicating?
What if you understood the behaviours you keep repeating instead of simply trying harder to stop them?
Awareness creates choice.
About Her Sacred Cradle
A different way of looking at women's wellbeing.
I'm Renata de Castro, an Integrative Women's Health Consultant working at the intersection of Ayurveda, women's health and depth psychology.
My work grew from a simple observation:
The body is communicating—and sometimes the symptom is only the beginning of the story.
Ayurveda taught me to look at the body's patterns, qualities and rhythms.
Depth psychology taught me to become curious about what lies beneath our conscious awareness—our conditioning, behaviours and ways of responding to life.
I bring these perspectives together to help women understand both what is happening in the body and what may be reinforcing it underneath.
