✨ Jamu Belly Binding: A Gentle Embrace for Your Postpartum Journey ✨

As a postpartum doula, I’m honoured to bring the healing tradition of Jamu belly binding into my care for new mums. This beautiful Javanese practice uses a soft, supportive wrap called a bengkung, providing a nurturing, grounding support around your abdomen during recovery. 🌿🤍

Here’s why I love offering this gentle binding to mothers:

🌱 Core Support & Healing: Helps guide abdominal muscles and organs back to their pre-baby position, naturally and gently.

🌱 Soothing & Calming: Feels like a gentle hug, offering warmth and comfort in those early days of motherhood.

🌱 Encourages Great Posture: This wrap supports your back and abdomen, making breastfeeding and day-to-day movements more comfortable.

Paired with traditional herbal pastes of turmeric, ginger, and lemongrass, this belly binding can offer physical recovery as well as a sense of emotional support. 💫 If you’d love this special postpartum care, I’d love to guide you through this time-honored ritual.

Motherhood isn’t just about watching your little one grow—it’s about your own growth too. 🌱 As your baby learns and explores the world, you’re discovering new depths of patience, strength, and love within yourself. Here’s to the journey of growing together, one step at a time. 💕

Postpartum inspo
💕👩🏽‍🍼🌷💜🤰🏾

Even here, you are growing.
When August is approaching
and you feel a little restless
thinking about how this month might end
and how this year might end
and how you are supposed to
start again,
you are growing,
you are growing,
in grace
courage
strength.

And it is okay
if it does not feel like it.
It is okay if there are moments
where you cannot see
the way you have grown,
because far beneath the surface
the seeds have still been sown.
The ground beneath your feet
is still a bed for new beginnings.

So much is changing around you
but you are changing, too.

You are so much more than the brokenness
that you were certain would define you.

It has not been easy for you.
You have worked so hard
to be the positive one.
You have given your best
in areas of your life
where the effort was not returned.
And this has made it so hard
for you to keep going,
and there have been days
where you were not sure
if it was even possible.
But after everything,
here you are,
just a little stronger,
holding on a little longer,
and you still found room for hope.

So take heart
breathe deep
you are still becoming
who vou were meant to be.

Let July be July.
Let August be August.
And let yourself

just be
even in
the uncertainty.
You don’t have to fix
everything.
You don’t have solve
everything.
And you can still
find peace
and grow
in the wild
of changing things.

🌸 Postpartum Depression: Society’s Call to Support 🌸

Postpartum depression isn’t caused by personal weakness or failure. It’s the result of a society that often doesn’t know how to properly support new mothers. You are not failing as a person—society has failed you in offering the help you deserve while raising your baby.

When experiencing postpartum depression, we rarely hear, “I think I’m depressed.” Instead, it often sounds like:

“I don’t feel like myself.”
Irritability
Loss of appetite
Excessive crying
“I feel hopeless.”
Lethargy
“I’m a terrible mother.”

✨ We need to provide the highest level of postpartum care to help positively shape a woman’s perspective of motherhood. ✨

Here’s how we can support:

🥗 Nutritious Support:
Meals that promote healing

🫶 Emotional Wellbeing:
Being able to offer a non-judgemental space, encouragement and reassurance and, and emotional check-ins.

💆‍♀️ Physical Support:
Belly binding and massage to help recovery and comfort.

Let’s work together to ensure every new mother feels supported, valued, and empowered. You deserve care and understanding during this precious journey. 💖

🤱 Tag a mum who needs to hear this! Let’s build a community of support and encouragement.
