Bengkung Belly Binding Ceremony
A hands-on postpartum ritual to support your healing journey.
Offered in-person by a trained doula, this ceremony includes three home visits over one week (every second day – for example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday).
Belly binding is a sacred and traditional practice that gently supports the physical and emotional closing that begins after birth. It’s not about bouncing back — it’s about honouring your body, holding what was opened, and helping you feel contained, grounded, and supported as you step into motherhood.
Each visit includes:
Abdominal massage with warm, herbal-infused oil
Traditional Bengkung belly binding with a soft cotton wrap
A healing herbal tea or postpartum tonic
Emotional support, grounding, and care
The benefits of belly binding:
Encourages womb and pelvic healing
Supports posture and gently realigns the body
Reduces the feeling of emptiness in the abdomen
Aids digestion and elimination
Provides emotional containment and a deep sense of being held
Gently supports recovery after a caesarean (once the incision has healed)
When to begin:
After a vaginal birth: From day 1–3 postpartum, once bleeding is stable
After a caesarean birth: From week 2–3 postpartum, once the incision is fully healed and comfortable
