This Is For You If..

You’re pregnant and planning for the arrival of baby — and deep down, you know your recovery deserves just as much care.

You’ve heard how the early weeks can feel:
Depleted. Foggy. Weak in your core.
Everyone’s focused on the baby — but no one’s checking in on you.

You know your healing matters.
And you’re not willing to leave it to chance.

You want to:

  • Support your womb and core from day one, so you feel stable, held, and strong in your body

  • Use traditional postpartum care like belly binding and therapeutic nourishment to accelerate recovery and reduce long-term issues

  • Have a plan for rest, food, and physical recovery — not just baby supplies

  • Avoid burnout, hormone crashes, and “just get through it” survival mode

  • Feel emotionally and physically cared for, even if others don’t know how to support you

This isn’t about bouncing back.
It’s about closing the body properly, replenishing deeply, and honouring the power of your womb.

If you’re preparing for birth and know you want to recover with strength, softness, and intention, The Strong After Birth Method™ is for you.

At The Heart Of This Method: 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 — it’s emotional and energetic containment.
The wrap gently reminds the body that it’s safe. That it’s supported. That it can begin to close.

In The Strong After Birth Method™, postpartum belly binding is not an add-on — it's the foundation of your physical recovery.

 
 

Therapeutic Nourishment: Why It Matters in the First 40 Days

The food you eat after birth isn’t just fuel — it’s medicine.

Your body has just done something extraordinary — and now, it’s healing. That healing takes energy, minerals, warmth, and deep replenishment. But most mums are left eating toast, cereal, or cold leftovers while their body quietly struggles to recover.

Postpartum recovery unfolds in stages, with your body requiring specific nutrients and foods to support healing during this vulnerable time — especially if you've experienced tearing or had a caesarean section. For breastfeeding mothers, nutritional demands increase significantly as your body produces milk to nourish your growing baby.

The Strong After Birth Method™ brings ancient principles back into your postpartum healing — so your body isn’t just fed, it’s truly nourished. It’s about warming, restorative meals rooted in traditional chinese medicine food therapy and modern nutrition that honour what your body truly needs right now:

  • Rebuilds blood & replenishes nutrients lost during birth

  • Supports breast milk supply

  • Supports digestion & reduces bloating

  • Balances hormones naturally

  • Increases warmth & circulation

  • Calms the nervous system

 

Hi, I’m Livia

Posptpartum Nutritional Therapist and trained Belly Binding Practitioner - London.

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

But this work isn’t just professional — it’s personal.

I grew up watching the women in my family receive warm, hands-on postpartum care — belly binding, healing foods, and gentle rest. It was calm. Contained. Supported.

And I also witnessed what happened when that care wasn’t there. Friends and family who felt alone, exhausted, and left to “figure it out” — while their bodies quietly struggled to heal.

That contrast stayed with me.
And it’s what led me to combine nutritional therapy with ancestral postpartum wisdom to create The Strong After Birth Method™ — a gentle, grounded recovery system that meets you where you are.

Who’s preparing to take care of you after birth?

The early weeks can be tender and disorienting.
Your body will be healing, your energy low, and your heart full — yet stretched.

You deserve care.
Real, practical, nourishing care.

That’s where I come in.

I offer postpartum recovery support for mums in the first 40 days after birth —
so you can feel strong, nourished, and truly cared for.

Through my signature method — The Strong After Birth Method™, I guide you to:

  • Rebuild your core and womb with traditional belly binding

  • Restore your energy and replenish lost nutrients to optimise healing with warming, therapeutic meals

  • Regulate your nervous system with rest-focused rituals

  • And feel emotionally held — even when everything is new

This is not about bouncing back.
This is about restoring your body with intention, softness, and strength.

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.

  • This method isn’t about snapback culture — it’s about recovery, not appearance.

    While belly binding may help reduce bloating and improve posture (which can make you feel and look more “put together”), its real purpose is to support your internal healing — your uterus, abdominals, and back. The focus is strength, not shrinkage.

  • 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.

  • The Strong After Birth Method™ includes a minimum 6 belly binding and postpartum full body and belly massage session but I can customise a plan for you to include more sessions at an additional cost. Please get in touch to discuss further.

  • In my opinion, yes. The body goes through several phases of recovery in early postpartum and when you are eating the right nutrient dense foods according to the 3 Pillars of Postpartum Food Medicine you are optimising and honouring your body to heal fully, especially if you had birth complications or a c-section.

    My postpartum healing nutrition plan will guide you through speicific foods to include during the first 40 days of recovery.
