Bengkung-style Belly Binding Services

What is belly binding?
Belly binding is an ancient practice that involves wrapping the new mother's belly (typically from hip to sternum) to aid in healing and support. A warming paste or warming oils can be included.
Belly Binding FAQs
Benefits of belly binding
  • Prevention of hernias
  • Healing of Diastasis Recti
  • Help swollen organs return to a normal state (especially with the warming paste/oils)
  • Tighten the abdomen and help restore muscle tone (particularly when coupled with certain exercises)
  • Promote good posture
  • Provide extra support to the belly and lower back
When to NOT belly bind
  • If you have broken bones, you should wait until they have healed (including anything in the back, ribs, and pubic shelf).
  • If you have experienced any prolapse (including uterine, bladder, or rectal), please consult your doctor before belly binding.
  • If you have any allergies, please be sure to mention them - particularly to certain herbs and/or spices.
  • ​If you have had a C-section, you should wait until your incision has healed before belly binding.
