This Is For You If..

You’re pregnant and planning for birth — but 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.
Like 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:

  • 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 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™, Jamu 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.

The Strong After Birth Method™ brings ancient principles back into your healing — so your body isn’t just fed, it’s truly nourished. It’s about warming, restorative meals rooted in traditional chinese 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

Nutritional therapist, postpartum carer, and trained belly binding practitioner.

I help mums in the sacred window after birth feel strong, nourished, and deeply supported — not just cleared by their doctor, but truly cared for.

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.

FAQs

  • Jamu belly binding is a traditional Indonesian postpartum practice that uses 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.
    Waist trainers are tight, often synthetic, and focused on reshaping — not healing. Jamu binding is about supporting your body to recover naturally and safely, not forcing it into a shape.

  • 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. That said, it's never too late to begin gentle containment if your body needs support.

  • Yes — with some modifications and timing.

    I offer C-section–friendly belly binding that avoids pressure on the incision site and supports gentle healing once your scar is stable (usually after 2–3 weeks with clearance from your care provider). We'll also work with warming oils or compresses (if suitable) to promote circulation and reduce tenderness.

  • Traditionally belly binding is performed for 40-42 days during the confinement period. However in our modern day lifestyle this may not be feasible. I recommend atleast 6 belly binding sessions but I can cater to your needs if suitable.

  • Item description

  • It is recommended to wear the belly wrap for 8 hours a day for several consecutive days, before resting intermittently for 1 – 2 days, and following up with several more consecutive days of wear. Most mothers choose to wear the wrap from Monday to Friday, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.

  • 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.

  • Warm, soft, mineral-rich, and easy to digest — in line with therapeutic food therapy and traditional postpartum wisdom.

    Think:

    • Soups, stews, and congees

    • Warm porridges with nourishing fats

    • Herbal teas and broths

    • Iron-rich ingredients like liver, bone broth, dark leafy greens

    • Warming herbs and spices like ginger, cinnamon, and turmeric

    You’ll receive custom meal templates, pantry lists, and options to support digestion, mood, and energy — without overcomplicating your life.

  • Totally understandable — that’s why my method includes simple prep strategies and options for support partners or meal helpers. I’ll guide you in setting up a postpartum kitchen that’s both nourishing and realistic.

    Even a few warming, replenishing meals can make a big difference in how you feel.
