The postpartum period is a sacred and vulnerable time and new mothers deserve special care. Many cultures all over the world have some version of postpartum traditions. In these cultures, there are lower incidences of postpartum complications and mental health exacerbations. Integrating this type of care into my services allows me to blend my love of bodywork, my passion for maternal wellness, and my healthcare knowledge with my first love...herbalism.

In the summer of 2024, I traveled to Malaysia and learned from Malay Elders and birthworkers how to provide these services. I offer Bengkung Belly Binding and Postpartum Confinement Care in the authentic Malay Tradition.

My postpartum services are customizable, and personalized. I offer 3 hour sessions that are focused on your own recovery. Just as each pregnancy and birth are different, so is each recovery. Some visits may be eating nourishing foods, and having an herbal massage, some may be a floral bath and herbal tonics. There is always time for baby during these sessions, but the focus is on you.
