traditional post partum belly binding
Traditional Belly binding is the art of tying a long piece of fabric around and around a woman's torso. This is different to a modern girdle in that it is longer and it will fit the woman uniquely every time it is tied on.
The benefits are many and varied:
* It pulls in the separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
* It helps to slim the ribs, hips and the belly
* It reduces post partum bleeding time
* It reduces and prevents back pain and helps to form good postural habits in the early days of nursing preventing "nursing slouch"
* It looks and feels great!
Belly binding is ideally begun on days 4-5 post partum and continued for 40 days, for at least a few hours everyday.. Beyond this, binding can used anytime a woman feels like she needs postural support.
This service is $230* and includes a handmade bind as well as two visits to your home to teach a family member or friend how to bind so it can be done everyday. Packages and special rates apply for doula clients.
Handmade Belly Binds are also available for sale for $60 for those who know how to bind already. (postage not included)
* An extra charge may be applied for travel to some areas
