Ancient Care for the Body That Gave Life

The postpartum period is one of the most powerful — and vulnerable — transitions in a woman’s life.

After birth, the body is open, the womb is healing, and the nervous system is recalibrating.

This sacred postpartum Mayan massage is rooted in ancestral Mayan medicine, traditionally offered by midwives and parteras to support women after childbirth.

It is not just bodywork — it is closure, containment, and restoration after pregnancy and birth.

This session is designed specifically to honor the postpartum body, helping the womb, pelvis, and abdomen return to a place of balance, warmth, and support.

Why Postpartum Womb Care Matters

After birth, the uterus leaves behind a large internal wound where the placenta detached.

The organs have shifted.

The pelvis has opened.

The body is often cold, depleted, and emotionally tender.

In traditional cultures, this is when women were held, wrapped, warmed, and cared for — not rushed back into productivity.

This massage supports that missing layer of care.

This Postpartum Massage Is Ideal For Women Experiencing:

• A feeling of “emptiness,” heaviness, or instability in the lower abdomen
  
• Pelvic pressure, hip or lower back discomfort after birth
  
• Emotional sensitivity, overwhelm, or disconnection from the body
  
• C-section recovery support (after medical clearance)
  
• Postpartum bloating, sluggish digestion, or abdominal tension
  
• A desire to feel closed, contained, and grounded after birth
  
• The need to be nurtured after giving so much of themselves
  

What to Expect During Your Postpartum Session

Each session is slow, intentional, and adapted to where your body is in its healing journey.

• Gentle abdominal and pelvic massage focused on the uterus and surrounding organs
  
• Supportive uterine alignment techniques (only when appropriate)
  
• Traditional Rebozo Manteado wrapping to close and support the pelvis and abdomen
  
• Warming herbal compress to encourage circulation and comfort
  
• Nervous system calming through breath and gentle rhythm
  
• Emotional holding space — postpartum emotions are welcome here
  

This work is done with deep respect for your timeline. Nothing is forced. Your body leads.

Who Can Receive This Service?

This service is intended for women who are:

• At least 6–7 weeks postpartum after vaginal birth
  
• 8+ weeks postpartum after C-section (with medical clearance)
  
• Months or even years postpartum who never received postpartum care
  
• Postpartum after miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy loss
  

Many women come months or years later saying:

“I never closed after my birth.”

It is never too late.

How This Differs From the General Mayan Womb Massage

This postpartum session is not the same as the regular Mayan womb massage.

• It is slower and more nurturing
  
• Focuses on closure, warmth, and recovery
  
• Prioritizes the postpartum nervous system
  
• Avoids deep uterine manipulation early postpartum
  
• Honors the body as one that has recently carried life
  

If you are not postpartum, please book the general Mayan womb massage instead.

• Improved abdominal comfort and digestion
