Postpartum Services / Mother Roaster Packages:
This package is designed to help support and heal mom right after birth, typically when she is still feeling raw and exposed in her new form.
With this package of services Sarah will come and visit your home every day for the week immediately following the birth, each day providing support and care for mom and family as they transition into this new phase of life. She will spend about 2 hours in your home with each visit, performing a different healing service each time.
Some of the mother warming services provided are:
- Herbal Sitz Bath
- Moxa applications
- Abdominal hot stone application
- Warming Belly Oil Application
- Belly Binding (includes belly bind fabric)
- Placenta Services
- Yoni Steam
Often times mothers underestimate the amount of support and care they will need in the weeks following birth, especially first-time moms, this package is designed to give you as much support as possible.
This is a half-day ritualized event that is a wonderful way to honor mom’s transition from maiden to mother. It can be done for moms at any point in time after birth, anywhere from one day to forty years.
It makes for an especially beautiful rite to have close friends and family present for the Sealing Ceremony.
The following are just a few aspects of the ceremony that we will do together:
- Birth Story Witnessing & Tea Ritual
- Fear Releasing
- Ceremonial Bath
- Warming Body Oil Rub Down
- Sealing Ceremony
- Intention Setting Salt Bowl
Emotions can run rampant post-birth, and often unexpected thoughts and feelings arise. Having someone to talk to who can offer guidance and support can be crucial to help with mom’s recovery and healing.
This is a consultation service with a clinical herbalist who will offer support through discussion with mom about her current postpartum state, and then create customized herbal and essence blend to help support her specific needs.
- 1.5 hour consultation
- Customized herbal formula
- Customized flower/gem essence formula
