Postpartum Care

The initial postpartum period (typically within the first 6 weeks) can be a time where you, as the birthing parent, are learning for the first time or are remembering what life is like having a newborn that solely depends on you for nurturing. 

Sometimes, your own care can be pushed to the side because the attention is placed on your newborn baby. Your care and nurturing during those initial postpartum weeks are just as important as the care and nurturing of your newborn baby. 

Receiving postpartum care has many benefits for you as the birthing parent on many levels, both physically and emotionally. Meztli Massage + Wellness aims to provide postpartum support and care by incorporating Mexican Traditional Medicine that is tailored to your needs. With extensive training received by Indigemama’s A Cerrar Las Caderas nine month program, you can expect to receive specialized care that has been given to many mothers for generations. 

During a typical visit, your postpartum care is tailored to your needs and wants. You will receive emotional and physical support, Mesoamerican herbal medicines, herbal infusions/teas, vaginal compress and/or steams, herbal baths (sitz bath or slap bath), full body massage/sobada, use of rebozo to gently assist the hips body in closing, and tying of the faja. Your postpartum visit may also include nutritious foods and soups to help relieve the stress of figuring out meal and provide nourishment to your body as you heal. 

For optimal healing, it is recommended to receive between 4-5 visits within your first 40 days postpartum (roughly around the first 6 weeks after giving birth). Each visit can last between 4 -5 hours. 

Package rates are available upon request. If you are interested in receiving this work you can contact us through email: contactangelica@meztlimassageandwellness.com or by phone/text (626) 517-7964
