Benefits of Binding

Physical Support

Belly binding offers physical support. Gently supports the core muscles, lower back, and hips as they return to their pre-pregnancy position

Emotional Support

Emotional and energetic release… a sense of grounding, containment, and emotional security during a vulnerable postpartum period.

Digestive Support

Supporting digestive organs, digestion, which is slowed down during the birthing process and postpartum healing, and can help reducing bloating.

Support Posture

Encourages better posture and reduces strain on the back and shoulders during postpartum recovery and breastfeeding/infant feeding

Improve Blood Flow

It also promotes circulation & detoxification. Stimulates blood flow to aid in healing and encourages the body’s natural detoxification process, helping the womb to shrink and fluids to release.

A Holistic, Ancestral Practice

Rooted in traditional Malaysian and Southeast Asian postpartum care, binding honors the mother’s rite of passage and provides ceremonial closure after pregnancy and birth
