Vaginal Steams & Sitz Baths

Vaginal steaming has so many benefits including: cleansing the uterine wall, helping the uterus return to normal size, creating warmth and oxytocin, softening tissue, relaxation, increasing blood flow, supporting lymph flow to pelvic area, toning and releasing emotions to name a few. Sitz Baths are also very helpful with blood circulation, repairing tissue and reducing inflammation.

Another ancient practice of using mugwort to tone the spleen, abdomen, uterus and Qi, helps with ligaments, moves blood and helps organs get back to pre-pregnancy positioning. This practice assists with closing of the pelvis after birth. This is also a practice that can produce smoke, but there are alternative ways to benefit from mugwort as well.

Birth Altars

Consciously creating a space and altar for the period of transition- when a mother is in labor, during birth, and as she moves into the postpartum period. I like to think of this as a sacred welcome to the little spirit that is coming into this world, an intentional creation and acknowledgement that helps become a focal point of grounding as the portal of birth awakens, opens and closes.

Food as Medicine

Choose from a menu of soups, broths, main courses, snacks, milk teas, herbal infusions & desserts. How we eat during postpartum can help heal our bodies or increase the amount of work that our bodies have to do. Having nutrient dense meals and herbal allies at your side can help make things a bit easier while trying to juggle so much. It is also a direct benefit to the baby if breastfeeding from all of the vitamins and nutrients they will receive.

Castor Oil Packs

This practice is potent in anti-inflammatory properties. The castor oil is deep penetrating and breaks up scar tissue and adhesions, can be relaxing and reduce pain.
