‘Mothering the Mother’ in this transformational time after birth...

When the mother’s needs are high as she navigates her way through her birth experience and into the person that she now is. She needs the time, and space, to recover and heal from the strenuous act of carrying and birthing a child. Her body is fragile, her internal structures are now adjusting to a non-pregnant homeostasis, and she is likely exhausted, hungry, and overwhelmed.

Please Note: I travel within a 20km radius from Annandale, Sydney, NSW.

The demands that come with becoming a Mother, an all-consuming routine, a hormonal tsunami and disrupted sleep patterns, all contribute to a feeling of fatigue, Muscular-skeletal pain and overwhelm. The new mother’s body is screaming out for some nurturing touch and support.

Postnatal Belly Binding addresses the vulnerability of the Newborn Mother’s belly, abdominal wall, abdominal organs and digestive system.

Bengkung Belly Fabric is used for traditional belly wrapping, or Tubular bandaging if a more convenient style is needed (as the mother can take this on/off herself).

It helps the Newborn Mother feel held structurally as organs slowly make their way to their non-pregnancy positions.

Some women say that when they put it on, they feel comforted, as though they are receiving a warm hug, and with the addition of herbal mixtures and essential oils, the emotional and nervous system are also being nurtured.

Postnatal Massage addresses the pregnancy symptoms that may still be present, such as back, pelvic, hip and wrist pain, and the new discomforts from spending many hours in awkward position from labour, birth, nursing and feeding a newborn. Belly Massage aids recovery, skin tone and enhances mood.

By offering a feeling of wellness, the new mother is less likely to feel so depleted and deficient so that she can heal in a holistic and consistent.
