Bengkung Binding: is an ancient tradition from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. The practice involves wrapping a long cloth around the abdomen of a woman postpartum to help her body recover after childbirth. The practice has been passed down through generations and is rooted in cultural beliefs about healing, physical recovery, and support for new mothers.
Historically, it was used to help women regain strength, stabilize their organs, and restore balance to the body after the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth. This practice is part of the traditional "confinement" period, a time when mothers receive care and support after giving birth.
My approach is a fusion of Javanese and Balinese traditions: an innovative 2 in 1 double layer belly binding technique, combined with postpartum abdominal and pelvis-specific massage. This unique integration offers firm support, deep relaxation, balancing and enhanced recovery.
