How do I heal?!

If you’re a first-time mama in Los Angeles or Orange County looking for in-home postpartum care, keep reading. We’re diving into why belly binding and Abyanga massage are must-haves for your postpartum healing—and how you can experience them right from the comfort of your own home.
What Is Belly Binding? And Why Does It Matter for Postpartum Recovery?
Belly binding is a traditional postpartum practice that gently wraps the abdomen to provide support and stability as your body heals. It’s been used across cultures for centuries—because it works!
The Benefits of Belly Binding Postpartum:
Supports Core & Pelvic Floor Recovery – Helps bring abdominal muscles back together and reduces the feeling of instability postpartum.
Encourages Proper Posture – Reduces strain on your lower back while feeding and carrying your baby.
Provides Gentle Compression – Aids in shrinking the uterus back to its pre-pregnancy size AND getting all those other organs back into place.
Feels Like a Hug for Your Healing Body – Offers a comforting sense of security and grounding.
Try this: Instead of using a one-size-fits-all compression garment, opt for a custom belly binding session that tailors the wrap to your body’s specific needs. We’ll teach you how!
What Is Abyanga Massage? (And Why You’ll Love It!)
Abyanga is an ancient Ayurvedic full-body massage using warm, nourishing oils to promote relaxation and healing. It’s especially beneficial postpartum, when your body is in deep recovery mode.
The Benefits of Abyanga Massage Postpartum:
Promotes Deep Relaxation & Stress Relief – Supports nervous system regulation, which is crucial during sleep-deprived nights.
Encourages Circulation & Lymphatic Drainage – Helps reduce swelling and inflammation.
Eases Muscle Tension & Joint Discomfort – Supports the body as it adjusts to postpartum hormonal shifts.
Supports Emotional Well-being – Nourishes both the body and mind during a time of great transition.
Imagine this: Instead of feeling stiff and exhausted, you’re wrapped in warm, healing oils as tension melts away, with our without your baby on your chest. This is postpartum care at its finest. It’s magic
