90 MINUTE POSTPARTUM MASSAGE — $225
Postpartum massage is so important to help the new mom recover from the battle of birth. Your body worked hard to birth the baby and it takes the entire fourth trimester to help it heal. During the postpartum massage, the therapist will focus on all the aches and pains most commonly experienced by new moms (back, hips, arms, neck, etc.). Postnatal massage aids muscle recovery, tissue recovery, smooth nervous system, regulates moods and assist fluid retention. What makes this massage unique is that Teresa combines her postnatal and Mayan Abdominal Therapy training to massage the abdomen and assist the uterus to return to normal with less pain and inflammation.
POSTPARTUM MOTHERING CEREMONY — $350
The birth journey process is about opening yourself, spiritually, mentally and physically to the addition or additions to your new family unit. In Latin American countries, as well as many countries throughout the world it is customary to conduct a ceremony to support and honor the new mother. It’s a sacred process of giving care and support to each woman thru this incredible journey in her life. This ceremony includes a bajo/womb pelvic steam with herbs specifically chosen for postpartum moms, a foot bath, tea service, an essential oil infused postpartum massage which includes abdominal/womb care followed up a rebozo swaddling. This swaddling is called “Cerrando las Caderas “ which means closing of the hips and clearing the seven gates to bring her body mind and spirit a reconnection to her being. This type of swaddling should not be confused with Belly Binding, however this add on treatment can be included as a part of this ceremony. This ceremony can also be for mothers who are still recovering from traumatic births no matter how long ago they occurred. This process is beneficial to any woman who has experienced a strong opening in her womb area. In Mexico we called this “Frio en el vientre.” This can occur during cesarean birth, sexual assault, miscarriages, and childbirth.

BELLY FACIALS
BELLY BINDING (STAND ALONE) — $45
Century old traditions of belly binding includes wrapping around your abdomen and hips tightly with a muslin style cloth after birth. This can be helpful as your body will continue to experience changes after giving birth, and that support can help your body heal properly while supporting your pelvic floor. After giving birth, your body needs to move those muscles and organs back to their original position. It also offers gentle compression that holds muscle and ligaments safely in place as your body heals. Not to be confused with waist training, as that is not recommended at this time.
