Postnatal Recovery Massage is a revised version of the closing the bones massage, a traditional postnatal ritual from Ecuador.
The massage takes place on a massage table instead of the floor.
In many countries mothers spend the first month postpartum in a state of rest, where they receive nourishing food and special care and attention.
In the UK, Mothers often receive very little support and gifts are usually for the baby.
Receiving a gift of a Postnatal Recovery Massage is a celebration of motherhood.A perfect way to honour her and her body following the incredible journey she has been on, growing and birthing new life in to the world.
DUE TO THE CURRENT COVID-19, I AM UNABLE TO OFFER POSTNATAL RECOVERY MASSAGES.
