Postpartum Womb Compression Wrap
During pregnancy, you lose a lot of muscle strength in your back and abdomen. The wrap will also help promote good posture as your muscles may not be ready to do the work on their own. Also for women who have had a Cesarean section, Womb Compression Wraps can provide even more benefits as it can help to secure your C-section incision while helping to reduce swelling, which promotes faster healing. While there are many types of Postpartum Womb Compression Wraps different methods are rooted deep in some cultures. The more currently common used style is the ‘Bengkung Method’ in which a series of knots are tied up the Pelvic and Abdominal area, though each method serves its purpose.
Meet the Certified Holistic Doula & Certified Yoni Steam Practitioner “Selah”
Why Choose Selah as Your HolisTic Doula & Yoni Steam Practitioner?
Certified HolisTic Doula Practitioner
As a teenage mother, I experienced 1st hand Birth Injustice due to “Failure to Progress.” Uneducated and not privy to what a Doula was I was left alone to unsuccessfully advocate for myself. At the time I didn’t realize I suffered from Birth Trauma. Far too often women are left to advocate for their Birth Autonomy during the most vulnerable time they will ever experience in life, which is during Labor & Delivery. Upon my awareness of what Birth Injustice & lack of Birth Autonomy was/is; I made a full commitment to be the voice of reason for all women who desire Full Birth Autonomy. So in a nutshell, My team and I serve as the educated in-tune voice of reason, non-medical overall support personal & conduit for the Birthing Families & Birthing Team.
Certified Holistic Yoni Steam Practitioner
In 2002, after a 20 wga Stillbirth, I was diagnosed with Endometriosis & what was formly known as an “Incompetent Cervix”. I was informed I may never be able to conceive and/or carry a neonate to term. Upon this diagnosis I researched far and wide in what is called “alternative medicine.” I discovered Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine and began my intensive Holistic journey which included Clean Organic Nutrition (Raw Food), Kemetic Yoga, Qi Gong, Heated Castor Oil Herbal Womb Compresses, Womb Infrared Light Therapy, and Yoni Steam. Needless to say that in 2004 I gave birth to a healthy full term 8lb 9oz baby boy. I am a living testament of what belief and discipline can do to the mind, body, & spirit when coupled together. If you believe it then you can achieve it.
