What is Postpartum?
The postpartum period, describes the first 42 days after birth. In many (traditional) cultures, like in Marokko, China, Indonesia and Mexico, the first 6 weeks after birth are seen as holey time, in which the new mother is fully taken care of with food, baths, massages and wrappings. Her only job is to take care of her baby and herself.
In the Netherlands, we often think of the postpartum as only one week in which we get ‘kraamzorg’ which is unique to the Netherlands! However, we beleive prolonged care is needed for the new mother even after the first week. We could learn a lot from other cultures in the way we treat and take care of our new born mothers!
During the postpartum phase, relaxation, warmth and healthy foods are key to your physical and emotional recovery. In this, often intense time, it is extra important to take good care of yourself and let yourself be spoiled in all ways possible. How to better do this than with our special Post Partum Treatments and Packages will help your body to close, recover and relax, and are especially designed to give new moms all they need.

“I received the post part treatment a week after i gave birth to my lovely son. It was a fast birth and my body and mind were still processing what had happened. The soft and loving massage helped me to relax and soften into the new motherhood experience. I was amazed about the heat of the moxa stick and how it helped my belly relax after experiencing contractions for days after I gave birth. My treatment was sealed with the Bekung Belly Binding. The tightness of the bind gave me a great feeling; supported, strong and safe. I can highly recommend this treatment quite soon after birth as my belly felt so strange and empty and this really helped me to find a new balance. For me, the combination of moxa therapy, massage and the belly binding is amazing – it really works effectively to close the phase pf pregnancy and enter the new stage of motherhood.”
Onze Postpartum Treatments (Add-Ons)
Moxa Treatment
Moxatherapie, of moxibustion, is a treatment whereby acupressure points and meridians of the lower belly and lower back are warmed to stimulate blood flow, ease discomfort, support your recovery and restore your energy level. The burning of the Moxa stick gives a pleasant warmth which warms your body and specifically the area of the womb, deeply on the inside.
De Moxa Treatment is a standard part of the Mama Treatment Package (see below).
Castor oil Pakking
During a Castor-oil pack you first receive a soft belly massage with warm castor oil which is known to have a medicinal and healing effect on the body. Then, we place the warm oil pack on your lower belly which we cover with a towel and a warm water bottle so the oil kan work deeply into the skin and soft tissues below it.
Castor oil is known to improve blood circulation and has a deep cleansing and healing effect, supporting your physical recovery – especially in and around your belly and womb, after birth. In addition, castor oil has an anti-inflammatory effect and softens scar tissue, which supports your recovery after having a ceasarian.
The Castor Oil Pack is a standard part of the Bengkung Belly Bind and the Mama Rebalance Package (see below).
Diastasis Check
When we do the diastasis check we can feel together i you have diastasis recti and if so, how wide it is. We will teach you how to feel it yourself and explain which practices help to recover from it. It is important to realise that your core stability is compromised drastically as long as there is space in between the muscles, possibly leading to a myriad of pelvis issues in the short, medium or even long term.
The Diastasis Check is a standard part of the Mama Treatment package and the Mama Rebalance pakket.

The Bengkung Belly Bind originates in Malasia and uses a long piece of cotton (17 meters), which is wrapped around a new mothers pelvic and belly area.
