An important distinction of Woven Body is our focus on therapies for women. We provide care during the prenatal and postpartum processes and soothe clients during miscarriage and abortion. Through steaming, abdominal work and postpartum therapies, our goal is to nourish women using natural practices. Our techniques are effective in addressing the physical concerns and conditions associated with low abdominal, low back, hip and upper leg pain as a result of constriction, tension, and misalignment.
Prenatal Thai Massage
Offered for women in their second and third trimesters, our Prenatal massage is settling, re-stabilizing, and a genuine relief from ailments related to pregnancy. Carrying a child comes with a myriad of ailments specific to each mother-to-be. While you lay in a cozy side-laying position with your body fully bolstered, we take great care and consideration to provide you with massage that is calming, effective, and relieving so that your body can continue it’s precious work. Our practitioner uses her palms, elbows, forearms, knees and feet to compress muscles, soothe pressure points, and gently stretch the body allowing free constriction, tension and pain. We utilize compresses filled with a Thai prenatal blend of herbs designed to assist the pregnant body.

in - home Postpartum Therapies
In Thailand, the month after one gives birth is a time of providing great care to the mother. Birth is the greatest natural depletion and as such deserves an incredible amount of effort and consideration to be able to heal fully. It is a time to keep the body rejuvenated through the warmth of herbal steams, hot herbal teas, and the use of herbal compresses.
As it is not healthy nor safe for mothers to leave their houses during this time, all postpartum therapies during the first several weeks after birth are provided in-home.
We are able to meet with mothers before or after birth to help them get set up with the tools they need to make this postpartum month fully rejuvenating. Kits will be delivered containing herbal teas, herbal steams, compresses, a belly wrap, steamer, and steam tent umbrella. Along with the kit, we provide a link to an informative video where full explanations will be shared as well as easy how-to instructions for each tool.
If you are in-town, our practitioner is happy to visit in person to help with setup and will visit as much or as little as you like to guide you through each practice.
Postpartum Thai Massage
Our caring massage is a full body reset which begins with abdominal massage. As your hips, pelvis, ribs, spine and organs have shifted to welcome your baby, the body’s core is the main focus of recovery after birth. Abdominal massage is an essential and practical technique, which methodically and tenderly releases layers of tension. This session will rejuvenate the abdomen, low back, spine and digestive system, and will lift the lower muscles and structures. This massage reconnects the muscular, lymphatic, and circulatory systems connecting into the legs, reestablishing a healthy flow. With its surprising levels of release and uplifting, abdominal massage frees long held tension around the entire body, aiding circulation, respiration and nerve function.
Herbal compresses are used to assist the body in flushing away excess fluid in the abdomen and legs, allowing the mother to literally get back on her feet with proper strength and alignment. They also help to knit the abdominal muscles back together and strengthen the core.
