Khyati Desai-Seltzer — postpartum support specialist
About me

Hi, I'm Khyati Desai-Seltzer.

As a grounded guide, I help new mothers connect to their intuition and their babies through sacred, healing touch.

I'm a mother and a postpartum support specialist, passionate about the power of baby massage and other modalities. I've combined the art and science of the ancient Indian (Ayurvedic) tradition of infant massage with the experience and heart of a mother so that other parents can expand their toolbox of natural ways to help their babies be healthier and happier. Baby massage has been part of my family for many generations and a part of my culture for thousands of years. After the birth of my first daughter, my mother came to help me with recovery, caring for me and my newborn and teaching me how to massage her. Even as a beginner, I resolved extreme gas in one baby and silent reflux in another almost immediately — and I became passionate about sharing these indigenous practices with moms in the west who don't have access to that knowledge and wisdom.

I teach simple, easy-to-learn touch techniques for addressing common challenges. I also offer Benkung belly binding (service and products), an ancient Malay practice of binding your tummy in postpartum for essential recovery — a practice I wish I had known with my girls to avoid pelvic floor issues that still exist. I share information on essential and carrier oils and offer support on supplementing with homeopathy to help your baby have the best possible start in life. Baby massage is not an activity; it's a lifestyle. As Ayurvedic tradition dictates, the first 40 days impact the first 40 years.

If you're a soulful new mama craving peace, grounding, and gentle support, you're in the right place. If you're looking to feel supported on this motherhood journey and empowered after learning a skill that will help your baby sleep better, improve immunity, and relieve gas, colic, reflux, and congestion — while bonding, connecting, and multiplying love in a natural, holistic way — join us.
