The skin, our largest organ — touch, an essential sense

Prenatal (from the 2nd trimester): relieves physical and emotional tension, promotes “feel-good” hormones and better sleep, supports digestion and circulation, increases pelvic flexibility and facilitates birth.

Postnatal: after birth the mother may feel tired and destabilised — an imbalance of the Vata dosha. This massage warms body and mind, invites the organs back to their place, relieves remaining tensions and helps you recover energy and feel centred. In many traditional societies, postnatal massage is an essential care for young mothers — a wonderful gift to give or receive.

From one month of age. Baby massage supports body awareness, harmonious growth and the development of the senses, helps eliminate stress hormones, aids digestion and sleep, and strengthens the bond between baby and parents.

Offered as a single session, or as a package of three sessions where you learn to massage your baby yourselves — an easy ritual to weave into your new life.

Closing the pelvis is a tradition of many Central and South American cultures, done with a cloth such as the Mexican Rebozo or the Colombian Chumbe. This postnatal care invites the pelvis to close and the organs to find their place again, bringing a deep feeling of warmth and containment.

After a vaginal birth, it can be done from day 2–3 and regularly during the first six weeks. After a caesarean, a soft pre-closing is very beneficial; the full care can take place 5–6 weeks after birth, depending on scar healing.

The traditional shawl — Rebozo or Chumbe — is the extension of the heart through the arms. Massaging the body with this cloth is called “manteo”: an exceptional, deeply relaxing massage.

In the prenatal period: well-being, full relaxation and opening the body for birth. In the postnatal period: a (re)alignment manteo to find your axis again — closing of the hips included.

A ritual of passage for whenever you feel the need to close one chapter and open another: after birth towards the end of the 40 days, to begin a conscious conception, after a loss, or at any turning point in a woman’s life.

Three phases, given by two practitioners: a four-hand body massage, a steam treatment, and the “closing” of the whole body with the Rebozo shawl.

A ceremony to mark the traditional end of the 40-day postpartum period: a sobada (massage) focused on the belly and uterus recovery, a vaho (Colombian steam treatment), and the closing of the hips.

Birth mobilises enormous energy: the perineum, organs and digestive system are weakened, and emotions run high. What better than to nourish body and spirit in the very first days?

A first care adapted to your needs (such as a pre-closing of the hips) and a specific Ayurvedic recovery menu designed with Raphaëlle, postpartum chef and creator of 40 Moons: broth, starter, a complete meal, breakfast, sweet snacks and postpartum herbal teas — enough for a day.

A moment to honour each member of the family during postpartum, in four movements: a sharing circle, an alignment postnatal cloth massage — closing of the hips included — for the mother, a massage for the baby, and a relaxing cloth massage for the partner.
