What You Might Be Wondering
-
It feels like one, but it's its own thing — hands-on care built for the postpartum body, with warm oils, abdominal work, and belly binding you won't find in a standard spa massage. The focus is your recovery, not just relaxation.
-
Whenever you feel ready — many moms begin within the first few weeks. We keep the work very gentle early on and build from there as you heal.
-
Yes. We adapt every session to your healing and avoid the incision area until it's well along and you're comfortable.
-
Absolutely — and many moms do. If you'd rather have the hour entirely to yourself, that's wonderful too.
-
You're still welcome. There's no expiration date on recovery — moms come months and even years out and still feel the benefit.
-
Almost nothing. Wear something comfy, eat beforehand if you can, and give yourself a few unhurried minutes to arrive.
-
Postpartum bodywork sessions are available in two lengths: 50-minute sessions are $135 and 90-minute sessions are $195.
