WEEK 1 & 2
You and your body has just gone through an incredible feat of giving birth to a new human! In the first two sessions, we acknowledge the hard work you’ve done, and tend to your aching body by giving you a gentle but needed postpartum and uterine massage. You will then get your belly bound using the Bengkung belly binding method (rooted in the Malaysian tradition) followed by hot stone womb therapy.

WEEK 1 & 2
You may now be in the throes of your new role as a mother, and rest may be hard to come by. Take some time out to connect with yourself as I will draw you a beautiful, relaxing, detox sitz bath to enjoy while I tend to your baby.
Optional: Demonstration on infant massage
WEEK 4
WEEK 1 & 2
You will enjoy a warming turmeric facial and body scrub in this session. Turmeric is a natural anti-inflammatory, and has a ton of soothing properties that will help rejuvenate you after birth.
WEEK 5
In this session, you will be enjoying the benefits of womb steaming. Steaming is used in many cultures around the world to help release any impurities left after birth and to facilitate healing the vaginal area. Women around the world have used steaming to address fertility issues, prepare for labour, and even as they’re birthing.
WEEK 6
CHOOSE YOUR WELLNESS
The theme of this final session is “closure”. In many traditions around the world, bath pour overs are practiced as a special ritual to mark the end of the 40 day lie-in period. I will be doing a rose-water pour over for you to mark the end of *your* 40 days. This will be followed by a closing of the bones ceremony, in which we will bid goodbye to any lingering negative emotions from your birth and to your postpartum journey. This special time is meant to honor your journey so far, and thank your body for all that it has done for you.
