Gentle Care and Relaxation for New Mothers
The postnatal period is a time of adjustment, healing, and emotional transition. After childbirth, many women experience physical tiredness, muscular tension, disrupted sleep, and emotional changes as they adapt to the demands of caring for a newborn.
At Ayur Healthcare, Parramatta, we offer Ayurvedic Postnatal Massage as a gentle, nurturing wellness therapy designed to support relaxation, comfort, and overall wellbeing during the postpartum period.
Postnatal Care from an Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, the postnatal phase is traditionally viewed as a time for rest, nourishment, and gentle support. The focus is on helping the mother feel grounded, relaxed, and cared for as the body gradually adjusts after pregnancy and childbirth.
Ayurvedic postnatal massage is adapted to suit this stage of life and is delivered with care, sensitivity, and respect for individual comfort.
What Is Ayurvedic Postnatal Massage?
Ayurvedic postnatal massage is a gentle, light-to-moderate pressure massage performed using warm herbal oils selected according to traditional Ayurvedic principles.
The session focuses on:
Promoting relaxation
Supporting comfort in tired muscles
Encouraging a sense of calm and grounding
Creating space for rest and self-care
This massage is not a medical treatment and is not intended to address specific health conditions.
What to Expect During a Session
Each postnatal massage session at Ayur Healthcare is tailored to the individual mother and carried out in a calm, private setting. Your therapist will:
Use gentle techniques suited to the postnatal stage
Prioritise comfort and modesty at all times
Adjust positioning to ensure ease and relaxation
Maintain open communication throughout the session
The aim is to provide a soothing experience that allows you to unwind and feel supported.
Optional Steam Therapy
Some mothers may choose to include a gentle steam session as part of their postnatal wellness experience. Steam therapy is traditionally used to enhance relaxation and promote a feeling of warmth and ease in the body.
This is offered only when appropriate and discussed beforehand.
