Postpartum Pampering Services
Enjoy being pampered and nurtured by our full care services! Based upon traditional postpartum care, our services will offer you all you need to heal from the birth process and gently ease you into your new role as parent. Every person who has just given birth deserves to feel pampered and honored through gentle, loving care.
Hygge & Healing
Many cultures around the world involve traditions for warming the birth person. As a Scandinavian, I am drawn to the Danish concept of "hygge". It loosely translates to "cozy" and is pronounced HOO-gah. You have probably heard of the concept of "nesting" during pregnancy - hygge is essentially creating a cozy nest for you to recover and recuperate within after baby has arrived.
I offer services that help your mind, body and spirit, utilizing hygge principles to create a warm atmosphere that is inviting and peaceful. By warming your body, we can promote healing from the pregnancy and birth.
Service Offerings
Goddess Pampering Package: $350
For the Goddess in every body. Enjoy a full range of pampering services in one special ceremony.
We begin by saging and cleansing your space (may be omitted if you prefer). Once you're surrounded by calm, peaceful energy, you will warm and heal your womb with a gentle yoni steam, using herbs for postpartum healing (may be omitted if you prefer). Then you will be treated to a relaxing warm oil rubdown with our infused sesame oil.
This is followed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy of moxibustion to promote healing and closing of the womb. We then do a full body wrapping with warming packs in a ceremony that honors your body and its transition.
After you are warmed and feeling completely relaxed, we will end the series with the application of our belly firming paste and the belly binding that you would wear for the rest of the day.
This ceremony can last up to 3 hours and may be performed with your newborn next to you, though we do encourage childcare for older siblings so you can truly immerse yourself in the experience.
Bengkung Belly Binding: $75
Bengkung is a traditional Malaysian belly binding method. This technique uses a long strip of cloth, wrapped securely around the abdomen from the hips to the rib cage. Belly binding is used to support the healing process from birth, and helps slim the belly and hips. It also helps heal separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), promotes healing from pelvic/pubic separation, and supports the lower back and pelvic floor.
We will bring a natural muslin bind, and perform the wrapping for you. You also receive written instructions for doing the binding yourself in the days following. The bind can be worn daily for the first 40 days postpartum, or longer as needed.
Colored wraps are an additional $35.
Herbal Belly Firming Paste: $35
Out tummy firming paste is always made with 100% natural ingredients, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, turmeric, and several others. The paste only uses herbs with warming properties, which stimulate blood flow to the area. This results in the firming, toning and strengthening of the internal stomach muscles, as well as loose abdominal skin. The ingredients stimulate the body to release retained water in the tummy and torso area.
Yoni Steam: $75
Yoni steaming is a well-known secret in postpartum recovery. We create an easy and comfortable environment for you to enjoy the benefits of Yoni Steaming - including reduced stress and fatigue, relief from skin swelling and water retention, and even reduced postpartum contractions. Other reported benefits of our Yoni Steam service are faster perineal healing, shrinking of hemorrhoids, and an overall feeling of relaxation. Yoni steam users have reported fewer clots, a lighter flow, and a significant reduction in postpartum discomfort. Let us help you recover comfortably and naturally after childbirth.
Ceremonial Smudging
Offered as part of the Goddess Package
Ceremonial Smudging is an ancient practice used to cleanse and purify a space. This service is used to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere in your home before the arrival of your new baby. Smudging is a powerful ritual that can be used to energetically cleanse your home and create a safe and loving environment for your family.
Warm Oil Rub Down
Offered as part of the Goddess Package
Postpartum care involves keeping the body warm to aid in your recovery. The oils we use are infused with warming herbs. The benefits of using such oil is that when it's gently rubbed into the skin, the body will use it to stimulate blood flow - thus having a positive effect on the circulation and metabolism. This, in turn, nourishes and revitalizes the skin and organs, removing toxins from the body by assisting the lymphatic system for elimination of wastes. The warming stimulation will continue to promote the body to release retained water and fat it no longer needs.
Warm Healing Wrapping
Offered as part of the Goddess Package
There are many traditions that involve closing or sealing after birth. Birth opens, so postpartum should help you close. This wrapping is done after a nice warm sesame oil rub down, when you are fully relaxed. You are tucked in amongst soft warming packs and then wrapped with long soft pieces of cloth from your head to your feet. We honor your body for the immense effort it has undergone during the wrapping, and you then settle in for a lovely immersive experience that promotes both physical and emotional healing.
