Postpartum & Newborn Care

Postpartum support aims to provide soothing restoration to new mothers and their budding families. Having hands-on support in the postpartum period can aid your body and spirit, as well as support the beginning stages of life with a newborn. My goal is for you to feel nourished and uplifted as you begin this new journey.

Traditional Belly Binding Session

Belly binding is a traditional postpartum healing practice seen in cultures around the world. My practice of belly binding utilizes vendas. They are large elastic bandages from Mexico made in a light gauze-like material. It is most beneficial to begin wearing the venda within the first 3 weeks postpartum. It can be worn starting as early as 24 hours postpartum, as long as the mother’s vitals are stable.

This practice offers profound physical and energetic support, by:

  • Providing stability and security to the body

  • Relieving aches and pains

  • Maintaining uterine warmth

  • Supporting the pelvic floor and bladder

  • Protecting a cesarean incision

  • Gently guiding the organs back to their pre-pregnancy places.

The initial session includes:

  • An opening and closing plática (heart-to-heart talk)

  • Education about proper belly binding and faja wearing

  • Partner instruction

  • Gentle abdominal sobada and bodywork

  • 3 vendas to keep

  • Postpartum herbal tea to conclude the session

Exchange: $150 | Follow-up visits: $80

Ceremonial Postpartum Cerrada

The Ceremonial Postpartum Cerrada (Closing) is a traditional Mesoamerican healing ritual. This ritual supports the closing of a cycle and honors the rite of passage that is motherhood. Cerradas also mirror the experience of returning to the womb, and can help ground the body and spirit back onto this physical plane.

This session can be received starting at 6 weeks postpartum. It lasts about 2 hours and includes the following:

  • Opening and closing plática: heart-to-heart talk

  • Limpia: spiritual cleansing with smoke or herbs

  • Abdominal Sobada: abdominal organ massage

  • Rebozo Manteada: sifting, rocking, and stretching of the body with traditional Mexican scarves

  • Cerrada: Full wrapping of the body with rebozos

  • Herbal tea to conclude the session

Exchange: $200
