Sacred Belly Binding — A Ceremony of Remembering

There is something ancient in the way a woman’s body opens to bring life through. And something just as sacred in the way she closes.

Belly binding is more than cloth wrapped around a body - it is a return. A remembering of wholeness.A gentle gathering of all the pieces that were once stretched wide to bring life, love, and transformation into being.

When I offer sacred belly binding, it is never just about the physical. It is ceremony. It is prayer.It is the body being told, you are safe now.

We begin slowly, with intention, with warmth, with breath. The room softens.

Candles are lit. Sometimes there is cacao, sometimes tears, sometimes laughter, always truth.

Through massage and touch, I listen to the story your body has been holding. The wrap becomes a language of love - each pull and knot saying,“I honour you.” "I see you.” “You can rest now.”

The Bengkung bind - long, beautiful, continuous - spirals around your hips and belly, reminding your body where it begins and ends.It supports the womb as she returns to herself, offers warmth to the bones, and containment to the heart.

But the medicine reaches far beyond postpartum.Women come to be bound after birth, yes -but also after loss, after endings, after seasons of unraveling.Because we don’t only give birth to babies.We give birth to versions of ourselves.

Sacred belly binding becomes a way to close what has been opened.To gather yourself back from the places you have poured your love into.To feel held - not just by me, but by generations of women who have done this before you.

There is always a moment, when the last knot is tied,and your body exhales.You feel yourself land.You remember that you are whole, even in your becoming.

This is what I mean when I speak of devotion.This is the art of coming home.

If your heart whispers for this kind of holding - whether you are freshly postpartum, healing from loss, or simply feeling ready to come back to yourself - I would be honoured to wrap you in ceremony.
