This is an opportunity for you to discuss your postpartum plan.

how will you maintain a center of peace and well-being amidst an additional spirit soul to your family constellation?

how would you like to be served and nourished by your support system?

even if this is your second or sixth babela you are welcoming, you deserve the space to dream up your relaxed & warm postpartum.

we will wrap our time up together with a warm-oil prenatal massage.

Abhyanga is a type of massage that is derived from the Ayurvedic tradition from India. The Abhyanga oil massage sessions are typically two hours, giving your central nervous system time to receive abundant, relieving restoration of body and spirit. 

Options include deep tissue, Swedish or Thai massage, cocoa butter, ortho-bionomy, or isolated muscle stretching.

In the comfort of your home, sessions include:

• use of warm Abhyanga oil, a sesame-based healing herbal oil which promotes lymph movement and whole body circulation

• an herbal infusion to replenish and hydrate your body after the treatment

Having childcare during the massage (for baby and any other children) is most optimal to provide restoration for the mother. Of course, baby is welcome at any time to join you on the massage table

Herbal vaginal steam that promotes pelvic circulation, healing, and relaxation. 

Herbs may include: red raspberry leaf, mugwort, comfrey, rose petals, calendula, chamomile. I will bring a custom wooden steam box for the treatment.

Yoni steams are provided after lochia (initial postpartum bleeding).

Blood-moving moxa sessions use a potent herb "Chinese Mugwort" to:

• tone the spleen and move energy into the liver

• help release resentment held in the liver

• supercharge the immune system

The wooden moxa box will be placed above the pubic bone and the mugwort will be safely lit over a smoke screen.  I will layer cloths as necessary to provide comfort during the moxa process. 

Chinese mugwort is the most potent transdermal herb with heat.  It's helpful to have a small, ventilated room during this process.  

If you have any questions about this ancient postpartum healing modality, please ask.

Castor oil packs are another warming modality used to help with a myriad of postpartum hardships such as blocked milk ducts or mastitis ( castor oil pack on breasts) or assistance with C-section scar remediation once fully healed.

Castor oil packs help the lymphocyte count of the blood increase. This is a result of a positive influence on the thymus gland and lymphatic tissue. This speeds up the removal of toxins surrounding the cells and reduces the size of swollen lymph nodes. This helps enhance immune function!

I will help you learn how to incorporate this practice into weekly/ monthly self care routine. If you choose this modality, I will leave the castor oil kit with you ( one more serving of castor oil, wool flannel piece and jar).

After the massage I will give you a full body exfoliation with a custom made scrub with cumin, coriander, fennel and cold pressed olive oil. After the exfoliation you will shower off the scrub and feel completely renewed and refreshed!

 Himalayan hot stones have incredible benefits during the postpartum period.

Himalayan hot stones:

Contain 84 minerals, helps remineralize the tissue

During the massage, I will use warmed Himalayan salt stones to apply pressure, using Swedish massage techniques. During the course of the treatment, the minerals are absorbed through the skin.

Herbal aromatic water infused with various seasonal dried/fresh flowers, leaves, roots to rinse off with after Abhyanga and optional exfoliation. This is tradition is from Kerala, India. It helps remove fatigue, provides strength to the body, pacifies Vata dosha in the body, strengthens lower back, increases digestive fire.

Traditional Bengkung belly binding is optional after each Abhyanga massage. This belly binding technique is rooted in Malaysian culture to help support the healing process.

Postpartum nutrition is essential to physical and emotional recovery and well-being. Postpartum meals are designed to support digestion and abundant breastmilk supply.

Each food preparation will have an easy-to-digest soup or stew, a sweet, and an herbal infused tea/chai. The portions will allow for leftovers the following day. All grains and legumes are soaked for optimized nutrient absorption and digestibility.
