Postpartum Massage

Postpartum massage: gentle relaxation, not treatment

A postpartum massage with us is a gentle, relaxing oil massage for new mums, not a medical or rehabilitation procedure. We always adapt the pressure and positioning to you.

The baby has finally drifted off, and after weeks of noise the flat is oddly quiet. Shoulders stiff from carrying, a back tired from feeding, a head full of love and lost sleep. A gentle postpartum massage is made for exactly this moment: an hour of calm and care you don’t have to earn or justify to anyone.

First, the important part: when, and with your doctor’s blessing

We make no medical claims and we don’t treat post-birth conditions. That’s the job of doctors, gynaecologists and physiotherapists, and they always come first.

After birth your body is healing on the inside, the uterus is recovering and the first weeks have their own rhythm. A massage doesn’t belong in the middle of that, so we ask you:

What new mums come to us with

It isn’t about “fixing” anything. It’s about relief, and a few moments when the world revolves around you.

• Tension from feeding and carryingHours hunched over while feeding, endless carrying and pushing the pram settle into the back, neck and shoulders. Gently warming those places brings the most relief.
• Tiredness you can’t sleep offA slow massage won’t replace sleep. But it helps the nervous system shift from high alert into calm, and that alone is deeply relaxing.
• A rare moment just for youAn hour of quiet, warmth and care that’s so hard to find in the first months. No phone, no baby monitor at your ear, no guilt.

Whichever you choose, your hour with us unfolds like this:

1. WelcomeWe greet you with a drink that changes colour in front of you, chat quietly and agree on what feels good for you.
2. A gentle massageWe always adapt the pressure and positioning so you’re comfortable, whether your body is still tender or you’re breastfeeding (for example, with support under the chest). At any point, just say so and your therapist will make the pressure even softer.
3. Warm tea, in peaceAfter the massage, warm tea and a quiet moment are waiting for you, and no one hurries you along.

Not sure which one to choose? Our relaxation massage is just as gentle, and we’re happy to advise you in person. Our certified therapists are from Southeast Asia, trained at renowned schools there, and we work with natural oils. We’re open daily 10:00–22:00, so an hour for you can fit between feeds, or while dad or grandma looks after the baby. You’ll find everything we offer in the massage overview and the price list.
