ADDITIONAL SERVICES INCLUDE

Your body has just completed a marathon of sorts. The Belly Spa is designed to promote relaxation, warmth, and ease of tension and soreness. Mother can choose to have this gentle massage done on her back and belly, or just belly. This service is done in a quiet place, using with science-based music and frequencies to encourage full bodily relaxation. Incense burning is included.

FIRST, warm, herb-infused oils are gently applied to the skin to help settle the nervous system and create a sense of calmness. A gentle hand massage will be used during the application. 

THEN, a series of gentle, intentional, light-pressured movements will be applied using the herbal compress. This is an entire sensory experience for you to feel nourished and warmed after the delivery of your baby. 

LASTLY, a gentle belly paste is applied with nourishing ingredients. The paste is left on until it flakes off, or may come off in the shower or bath. Cheese cloth will be applied on top of the paste to prevent the paste from coming off on clothing or belly binding material.

Bengkung is a traditional Malaysian postnatal belly binding done by weaving a long cloth around the torso. This has shown to promote proper support of weekend core after birth, along with faster recovery. As your body transformed during pregnancy, many shifts occured within your abdomen and torso. Muscles are weakened while the uterus expands and then shrinks. This service is designed to give a gentle, tender physical and emotional support to your body as she worked so hard to create and birth your baby. 

Binding is encouraged to begin 5 days after giving birth, or when your physician approves post-surgical birth. The ideal length is at least 6 hours everyday, or every other day, between 6-8 weeks. If you find that you can’t do it this long/often, that’s perfectly fine! You decide what feels best for your body.

During this service, I will teach you how to bind yourself so that you are able to keep up when I’m not there to bind you. This is considered a meditative and self-care practice, as you are taking time for yourself.

This service works best in conjunction with the Belly Spa, as it can be applied immediately afterwards, for the most effective results. 

BENEFITS CAN INCLUDE

Back pain relief - Ligament Stabilization - Spinal Support - Encourages repair and closing of abdominal muscles (diastases recti) - Encourages cervix to close and shrink faster - Provides support to torso, allowing organs to shift back to their pre-pregnancy state

DETAILS

  • This service is most effective when combined with the belly spa.

  • Binding cloth should not be worn to sleep, but a shorter nap is okay.

  • The cloth is best applied to skin (or on top of cheese cloth post-spa). However a light tank/tee can be worn underneath the binding if that’s most comfortable.

  • To use the bathroom, roll up the fabric from the bottom, and then roll it back down afterwards. TIP: use a full-length mirror to check behind you, to ensure the fabric is covering your entire hip area).

  • Please be mindful of any allergies and communicate these to me prior to start of services.

YONI STEAM/SAUNA is a hygiene and wellness practice from ancient cultures all over the world. This service can even be done between mensural periods to cleanse, promote better circulation, and improve overall energy. In many cultures, steaming is an important part of postpartum recovery, with a specific herbal blend for healing. The steam is done for 20 minutes, and is intended to ‘warm the mother’, both physically and spiritually. 

For this service, you will undress and wear a full body steaming gown. You will sit on a cushioned stool with the steam located underneath. A blend of herbs will be placed into the pot in steaming water, which will create a warming, sauna-like effect. You are welcome to adjust your steaming gown to cover just the lower portion of your body, however a full body steam is always encouraged.

An alternative option is to use a toilet, in which a bowl with all the steaming herbs is placed inside. This may feel more comfortable for mothers in earlier postpartum.

BENEFITS CAN INCLUDE 

Softening blood clots for easier passing - Reduces uterus swelling - Reduces excessive vaginal discharge - Eliminates foul odors - Helps remove toxins - Helps mend vaginal tears and abrasions - Helps tighten pelvic floor muscles - Reduces risk of vaginal infection and itchiness - Helps cleanse and deodorize vaginal area - Helps improve energy levels and overall health

DETAILS

  • This service can be done beginning about three days postpartum. Physician clearance may be needed, depending on the circumstances of your birth.

  • The steam lasts about 20 minutes and should not burn you. Please indicate if the heat is too intense, as each person’s tolerance varies.

  • This service is best done after feeding the baby, and when someone else is available to cuddle baby (like partner!)

  • Once you are established and steaming has begun, I can either stay for the head massage, or leave you for some alone time.

  • Please note this service requires access to an electrical outlet either near the position of the stool, or with an extension cord.

  • Please be mindful of any allergies and communicate these to me prior to start of services.
