Ayurveda views belly binding as a way to encourage the body’s natural healing processes. The warmth and support provided by the wrap are thought to balance the doshas (bodily energies) and help the body return to its pre-pregnancy state.
These benefits align with the holistic approach of Ayurveda, which emphasizes balancing the body, mind, and spirit, particularly during the delicate postpartum period.
Please call us today to book your postpartum massage and belly binding wrap sessions for the best results of your postpartum recovery.

Baby massage offers numerous benefits for both infants and parents. It promotes bonding and emotional connection through physical touch, fostering a sense of security and trust. Regular massage can improve circulation, aid digestion, and relieve colic and gas. It also supports the development of the baby's nervous system and motor skills. Additionally, massage can help babies sleep better and reduce stress levels, leading to a calmer demeanor. For parents, it provides an opportunity to understand their baby's cues and enhances confidence in handling and soothing their infant.
We are specialized in baby massage and infant bodywork. Please feel free to connect with us for baby massage sessions.
