Postpartum Treatment
This is a restorative & healing treatment that addresses specific needs of a new Mom. Starting with a healing pelvic steam, then abdominal massage specifically designed to support abdominal muscle separation from pregnancy, bladder and uterine healing. Addresses tight shoulders and back from baby gazing, "mom neck" and irregular sleep positions from adapting to Newborn Life!
The herbs used in the steam as well as the herbal compress address hormonal regulation needed in postpartum.
We also offer Belly Binding as an “add on” to your treatment.
This treatment is best when done at 6wks postpartum for vaginal birth and 10wks postpartum for surgical births.
Our Postpartum Treatment is the culmination of Pilar’s decades of work supporting and helping women after birth. Bodywork and therapeutic touch is so healing during this time of rest, recalibration and integration. How a woman is supported after pregnancy and birth can impact her mental, physical and emotional health for years to come. Our therapists have trained with Pilar in anatomy and techniques to support postpartum women.
*This treatment can be beneficial for healing after all pregnancy outcomes.

Benefits of postpartum bodywork:
Receiving a weekly restorative Ayurvedic massage with herbal oils helps to heal the body in early postpartum.

Taking nourishing foods in postpartum is incredibly important. Having someone cook for you is even better. Ayurved takes into account the primary doshic imbalances that occur post pregnancy and birth. “Healthy” can be described in many ways, but not all support a new mom and baby. Nourishing meals that are delicious, easy to digest and nutrient dense are best. Only organic and the highest quality ingredients are used for your meals and snacks.Benefits of Vaginal Steaming:
Herbal Vaginal steaming is incredibly supportive to the perineal area post-birth (surgical birth as well as vaginal birth). It helps to ease post-birth bleeding and quickens healing of any trauma to the tissues from tearing or stitches. Soothing herbs to support overall vaginal health and recovery from birth are used and provided in this in-home service.Benefits of Nourishing Herbal Infusions:
Nourishing Herbal Infusions in the Wise Woman traditions are known to boost breast milk, support any blood loss, boost energy and hormonal regulation. Red Raspberry can be supportive for uterine involution. Nettle is supportive for iron levels, hair loss and breast milk.
