Postpartum Traditions from around the worlds include warm oil massage , nourishing warming foods, and ample rest. They emphasise warmth, avoiding cold foods , and massages to help realign the uterus, improve circulation and reduce swelling. Its really important to know that the trend of putting frozen sanitary pads on women's vulva after birth although it will provide temporary relief, in the long term it will not provide the well sustained healing that a postpartum woman needs for her vulva and perineum . Traditional medicine systems around the world suggest we apply warmth so applying warm compresses made with herbal yea or yoni steaming are both ways we can do this.

Caring for Mothers after they have given birth is one of my passions . It is a time when a Mother needs the most support and love as her body, hormones and life have gone through HUGE changes, literally overnight.

As a society we don't give Mothers the love, care and support they absolutely deserve and need at this time.

Postnatal massage gives relief, support and nourishment to the healing postpartum body, it promotes the flow of blood, lymph, and energy to encourage the womb and her ovaries, the bladder and other organs to return back to their optimum position. It can help with scar tissue and birth trauma ,

BUT most importantly the work is an honouring of the beautiful Mother who has grown and birthed her baby.
