Postpartum Recovery | Postpartum Belly Binding London - Hackney

 Traditional Postpartum Care for London Mothers

In the first 40 days postpartum, your body is healing, your energy is low, and everyone's focused on the baby. But who's caring for you?

I offer two postpartum recovery packages rooted in traditional Jamu belly binding and therapeutic care — designed to help London mothers feel strong, supported, and deeply cared for after birth.

At The Heart Of Both Packages: Jamu Belly Binding

Jamu belly binding is an ancient postpartum healing practice from Indonesia — a core ritual in traditional care that helps mothers:

  • Brings in the hips, abdomen and rib cage

  • Realign and support the womb and internal organs after birth

  • Reduce abdominal water retention and swelling

  • Support abdominal closure (diastasis recti)

  • Relieve back pain and improve posture

  • Promote calm, containment, and emotional grounding

Jamu belly binding is done by applying a healing herbal paste on the abdomen and tightly wrapping the abdomen and the pelvic area with traditional binding cloth.

This isn't just physical support — it's emotional and energetic containment. The wrap gently reminds your body that it's safe, supported, and can begin to heal.

 
 

Hi, I’m Livia

Posptpartum Nutritional Therapist and Trained Belly Binding Practitioner - London.

I help mothers in the sacred window after birth feel strong, nourished, and deeply supported.

This work is both professional and personal. I grew up witnessing the power of traditional postpartum care — belly binding, healing foods, and gentle rest. I also saw what happened when that care wasn't available.

That's what led me to combine nutritional therapy with ancestral postpartum wisdom, bringing this gentle, grounded recovery system to London mothers.

FAQs

  • Jamu belly binding is a traditional Indonesian postpartum practice that uses a healing herbal paste and a long piece of cotton cloth to wrap the abdomen gently but firmly. It’s designed to:

    • Support the uterus as it returns to its original size

    • Help close abdominal separation (diastasis recti)

    • Encourage proper posture

    • Reduce swelling and promote circulation

    • Provide emotional comfort and a sense of containment

    It is not a waist trainer.

  • Ideally, within the first 5–7 days postpartum if you had a vaginal birth — but it’s still beneficial even weeks later. The earlier we start, the more support we can offer your healing uterus, core, and pelvic floor.

  • Yes — once your scar is stable belly binding be used (the wound should typically heal within two weeks post c-section)

  • Traditionally belly binding is performed over 40-42 days soon after giving birth. However in our modern day lifestyle this may not be feasible. I recommend atleast 6 belly binding sessions but this can be customised. Get in touch through the contact form to discuss further.

  • It's recommended to wear the belly wrap for 8 hours daily (not while sleeping) throughout your recovery period.

  • The prime time to do belly-binding is within 3 months after delivery due to relaxin; however, some moms do it 1-2 years after birth simply because of their schedule or self-care/emotional reasons but still report good results.

  • I recommend a minimum 6 belly binding session but I can customise a plan for you to include more sessions at an additional cost. Please get in touch to discuss further.
