Our techniques are effective in addressing a wide range of women’s health concerns, including hysterectomy recovery, bladder issues, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, and menstrual discomfort.

We provide care during the prenatal and postpartum processes and support clients through miscarriage, abortion, iud insertion and extraction. Through abdominal work and systemically related massage, our goal is to nourish women using natural, holistic practices.
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 Thailand, the month after one gives birth is honored through a myriad of care practices, providing treatments to the mother that rejuvenate and heal her body. Birth is the greatest natural depletion and as such deserves an incredible amount of effort to heal fully. In Thailand, practitioners tend to the birthing body with treatments of herbal steams, hot herbal teas, the use of herbal compresses and herbal oils. We offer this care.
To encourage new mothers to stay home and rest during this time, we provide in-home postpartum therapies during the first several weeks-months after birth. We are able to meet with mothers before or after birth to help them organize the tools they need to make this postpartum month fully restorative.
Kits will be delivered containing herbal teas, herbal steams, compresses, herbal steamer, and a steam tent umbrella which hangs from a ceiling. 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.
We offer several postpartum packages from 1-3 in-home visits a week. On visits, Damion will bring her massage mat, and will work with the ingredients of your kit, designing sessions for your specific needs. She will offer suggested homework in between sessions, guiding you through the process with reminder texts or calls if preferred.
We also offer in-clinic postpartum care for those not wanting added company during this sensitive time.
For more information and a list of our package offerings please be in touch with Damion through text to (804) 614-5975 or email wovenbody@gmail.com
Postpartum Thai Massage
Our postpartum care begins with osteopathic massage techniques, designed to gently realign the body and support its natural healing processes. This caring, restorative massage offers a full-body reset and begins with focused abdominal work. As your hips, pelvis, ribs, spine, and organs have shifted to welcome your baby, the body’s core becomes the central focus of recovery after birth.
Abdominal massage is an essential and practical technique that methodically and tenderly releases layers of tension. This session helps rejuvenate the abdomen, low back, spine, and digestive system, while lifting and supporting the lower muscles and structures. These techniques reconnect the muscular, lymphatic, and circulatory systems throughout the legs, reestablishing a healthy, balanced flow. With its surprising depth of release, abdominal massage frees long-held tension throughout the body, aiding circulation, respiration, and nerve function.
We also focus on restoring the upper back, arms, and neck—areas that often become fatigued and strained as the body shifts from carrying the baby low during pregnancy to holding, nursing, and constantly admiring your newborn. This upper-body work relieves tension, restores mobility, and supports the strength needed for the beautiful demands of early motherhood.
Herbal compresses further support healing by helping the body flush excess fluid from the abdomen and legs, allowing the mother to regain strength, mobility, and proper alignment. They also assist in knitting the abdominal muscles back together and strengthening the overall core.
