Belly-Binding & Abdominal Care Sessions

“Postpartum is a quest back to yourself. Alone in your body again. You will never be the same. You are stronger than you were.”

Belly-Binding & Abdominal Care Sessions

Belly-binding or belly wrapping is a traditional postpartum practice found in many cultures around the world, including those who have very low rates of PPMDs and other postpartum ailments.

This practice involves using a warm herbal compress to provide warmth to the abdomen and womb area.

We then apply warming oil and firming paste to the abdomen, ethically and culturally sourced from Southeast Asia, that is infused with healing properties to stimulate the body’s natural healing process, and the organs to begin to return to their proper place.

We then use a fabric strip or pre-made bind to wrap around a postpartum person’s abdomen to help stabilize the pelvis and encourage the muscles to come together. It also helps with digestion and womb healing, including being supportive of the cesarean healing process.

This practice honors the new mother and her act of birth, and is safe for both vaginal and cesarean deliveries, but we request that you receive your doctor’s approval before our session if you give birth via cesarean.

Before the session we will take some time to connect to explain the process and how it can specifically support you postpartum. Throughout the session, we may talk a bit about how the birth unfolded and relish in your joy or begin to heal anywhere you may have experienced doubt in your power and a more difficult birth.

This is also an opportunity to share your postpartum bliss and/or any postpartum challenges you may be experiencing, and receive support from someone who understands the process that a person goes through in becoming a parent, and all the ups and downs, fears, doubts, worries, anxieties you may experience.

You will also receive a postpartum tea or tonic to support the postpartum healing process, & follow up guidance on body care.

You will also receive support and guidance on how to self-bind when we are not there, and information about other body care rituals that may support your postpartum recovery.

The session is an experience that you don’t want to miss!

Sessions are 90-minutes in length and are held in the privacy of your home.

Packages are available at a discounted rate.

Jen Ballew

After experiencing an unsupport postpartum recovery herself after the birth of her son in 2011, she began a journey into understanding the deficits that postpartum individuals face here in the United States.

She began to learn about the traditional postpartum care practices of other countries and cultures and after finding her calling in this space, connected with a local Chinese woman who runs a postpartum recovery home that serves the Orange County Chinese community.

Jen was trained and certified in the Mama Moon Postpartum Healing Program which provided her with the knowledge and training to begin her practice in healing postpartum traditions, including learning the art of belly binding & various holistic modalities to support your postpartum period.

She has been serving families in the Orange County area since 2018 and is passionate about offering support & sharing these healing traditions with her community.
