Mother Roaster Service Menu

       Crossing the threshold from maiden to mother is a massive undertaking that not only needs to be recognized and ceremonially honored, but deeply necessitates a healing touch that can welcome the new mama with open arms. As a postpartum receiver, you are charged with holding space for women on the other side of birth, you are reminded of being reverent with your service to her, and you are blessed to be her witness as she starts feeding her baby milk, heals her body, and begins to seal the rawness of her birth experience. You are there to wrap her in a blanket of your loving care, warm her insides, massage her, create herbal tinctures for her, feed her warm soups, and gift her with ceremony.
Mother Roasters are CAREGIVERS that nurture new mothers after BIRTH while supporting their RECOVERY + JOURNEY into motherhood; as EVERY women deserves to be welcomed into MOTHERHOOD through GENTLE + LOVING + CARE.  




Mother Roaster Service Menu

Basic Belly Binding - $75

Wrapping the belly is an effective and important part of a mama’s recovery that aids the body to shrink and recover in a shorter time period, normally six to eight weeks. A sacred belly wrap provides a mama’s postpartum body with 360 support to assist the abdominal wall muscle retraction, improve posture, stabilize loosened ligaments, and provide support to the torso while vital organs return to their pre-pregnancy size and position.  

Closing Ceremony - $175

 Sacred Ceremonial tuck-in
 Heated oil rub down- Approx. 30 min
 Belly binding & wrap
Birth is an incredible, amazing, intense journey. As women, our bodies go through a lot of hard work to bring a child into the world. All of this work, through the triumphs, sorrows and joys, the sweat & tears, we are left open. We must allow ourselves to be open when we birth a child. That openness can then leave us feeling empty after birth. Our bodies have been a vessel that carried and nurtured a small one (or even several small ones) for months. It is no wonder that our bodies would experience a vast emptiness once we have completed the birthing process. So, what then? How do we close ourselves after we have opened for something as incredible as birth? Well, why not have a beautiful closing ceremony.

  Honoring is a Sacred Way to acknowledge a Rite of Passage in a person's life. There is no more sacred of an act than that of becoming a mother and birthing a child into the world. When a woman births a baby she also births herself anew. She is no longer maiden, as she steps into the tribe of mothers that is held together by our common bond. The Beauty
Way is how we roll in the Sacred World, its how we like to leave each sister and each place we visit...more beautiful and with a little more sparkle than was there before we came on the scene. Its also living with care and reverence for the earth and each other. The Beauty Way is an aspiration, a journey if you will, and gives us something to strive for.
