Rituals of Care Package

Bridgetown Baby has partnered with Living Arts Ayurveda to offer a self-care package uniquely suited to the postpartum period.

The postpartum time is unique and sacred. It is important to give yourself space for healing, resting, and integration. The Rituals of Care treatment is specially constructed to deeply nourish and care for you, to honor the passage into parenthood, and to allow you to rest and rejuvenate in ways that support the early postpartum period.

PACKAGE DETAILS

*Bodywork Treatment/Abhyanga

A foundation of health and healing in Ayurvedic postpartum care, Abhyanga is similar to massage but a whole different practice. It is the ritual of rubbing warmed, herbal oil over the body with loving care and presence. It is not for structural alignment or “working out” muscle tension, rather a deep and caring treatment that uses and infuses oil, hands, and heart to help support the mind and body. 

In addition to your Abhyanga you may also experience gentle Marma Therapy, similar to acupressure, focusing around the head to help relax, soften and integrate this massive life experience.

*Herbal and Floral Bath

Depending on your delivery and your recovery, after abhyanga and before steaming, a Bath can let the healing qualities of the herbal and floral allies support you. Enjoy a warm cup of nourishing tea, specifically blended for postpartum care. 

*Pelvic Steaming

This wise and ancient practice has been used for thousands of years across the globe. While the uses vary from culture to culture, one time period used by most is during postpartum recovery. Depending on your delivery, pelvic steaming will be introduced and practiced, guiding you through a deep and nourishing meditation and steam.

Considerations:

*Allow 4-5 hours for a short consultation, for treatment and rest, and to take breaks for nursing/feeding or whatever needs arise.

*Best done if someone can be present to help support baby while you receive care.

*All supplies needed for this ritual are Included.

Please note: not all treatments are best done right after birthing. Cesarean births, perineal lacerations, and other birth circumstances may require alternative care and rest as well as greater amounts of time for healing before doing some of these specific practices. There is important healing work to be supported. Danielle will assess each birthing parent prior to getting started with hands-on care. Thank you for your understanding and our shared practice of supporting your best and most sacred healing during this time.
