Massages & Treatments
Self care and treatments to support your healing.
I collected for you several practices that support your postpartum journey into healing: they come from different traditional cultures and all of them share the same principles of providing nourishment, warmth and care to the new mother.
Each healing practice is available either at your household or in my practice, depending on the stage of your postpartum.
While I advise you to make space to enjoy fully this time for your own care, if you do not wish to stay away from your baby, chances are we can find the space for you both to be taken care of.
