Abhyanga Ayurvedic Oil Massage

Service Description

Abhyanga is a beautifully nourishing and grounding practise, and is particularly potent for the postpartum body. After birthing their child, postpartum mothers experience an excess of Vata Dosha (denoted by airiness and ungroundedness when imbalanced), as the womb space, that held her child for so long, suddenly finds itself empty, filled instead with Vata -with air and spaciousness. In relation to receiving Abhyanga during postpartum, mothers can receive Abhyanga from day three postpartum if birth was vaginal, and from four weeks postpartum if birth was via cesarian. Among the pacifying of Vata, Abhyanga offers the following benefits: ~Supports hormonal function and balance ~Reduces adrenal fatigue ~Nourishes nervous system ~Supports digestion ~Gently releases impurities ~Nourishes and lubricates tissues, joints and muscles ~Supports immune system function ~Promotes improved sleep ~Supports healthy lactation in mothers ~Reduces probability of postpartum mood disorders in mothers Please contact Siobhan on 0449 537 950 or siobhan.calleja@gmail.com to book ~ *Please note travel fees will apply
