Postnatal massage is a gentle, supportive therapy designed to aid recovery from pregnancy and labour by addressing these changes holistically. It promotes deep relaxation, relieves muscle tension, supports emotional well-being, and encourages physical healing during this crucial period of postpartum recovery.
Postnatal massage is a form of healing care that can positively impact a mother’s overall recovery and transition into motherhood. It can be done at home or a spa by trained professionals who understand the unique needs of new mothers.

What is Jamu Postnatal Massage?
Jamu massage is a traditional Indonesian postnatal therapy that has been passed down through generations. Rooted in ancient herbal healing wisdom, this unique massage combines gentle yet firm therapeutic massage techniques with the use of natural herbs (known as jamu) and warm compresses to promote recovery, balance, and rejuvenation—especially for women after childbirth.
- Promotes Detox & Healing: Herbal compresses made with traditional jamu ingredients help draw out toxins, reduce water retention, and promote faster recovery.
