Postpartum Services - Postpartum zorg

This is a sacred, transformative time. You deserve to be taken care of too.

You just did something extraordinary. Your body, your mind, your identity, everything has shifted. The weeks after birth are not the time to bounce back. They are the time to be held, nourished, and gently supported back into yourself. In many cultures around the world, new mothers are cared for, fed warm meals, massaged, and protected from the outside world for 40 days. This wisdom exists for a reason. Your hormones are shifting dramatically, your body is healing, and your heart is wide open.

What does postpartum support actually look like?
You rest. I take care of the rest.
A postpartum visit with me might look like: arriving at your home, checking in on how you are feeling, bringing a warm nourishing meal, doing a belly binding session, giving you space to talk about your birth if you need to, and leaving you feeling more held than before I arrived.

Belly Binding

Belly binding is a traditional postpartum practice that involves wrapping a long strip of cloth around the abdomen to provide support and compression to the core muscles after childbirth, which may have weakened or stretched during pregnancy. The compression can help in several ways:

  • Abdominal Support
  • Posture Correction
  • Core Stability
  • Comfort and Pain Relief

Duration: 1 hour

Price €100,-*

Can be combine with Moxa**

Massage

A nurturing, restorative massage designed specifically for the postpartum body. Supporting muscle recovery, easing tension, improving circulation, and offering you a moment of pure care, because your body has been through so much and deserves to be tended to.

Every postpartum experience is unique, and sometimes what you need doesn't fit neatly into a single service. That's why I offer flexible packages of hours.

**Moxa

A traditional Chinese medicine practice using the warming herb mugwort to gently heat specific points on the body. In the postpartum period, moxa is used to restore warmth, replenish energy, and support the body's recovery, particularly after birth. It is deeply grounding and nourishing.

"After birth, there's a sacred window of time. A time for complete rejuvenation of a woman's physical, mental and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with her newborn.

The forty-two days after birth set the stage for her next forty-two years."

— Ysha Oakes
