Traditional postpartum care is an invaluable resource to new mothers, families and those who want to support them. Luka is honored to offer a wide range of services that help heal, nurture and empower women through the postpartum period, informed by traditional wisdom and her own previous experience providing Certified Innate Postpartum Care.
BIODYNAMIC CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
A gentle yet profound, holistic, hands-on treatment for the whole body, especially tuned to support the optimal functioning of the nervous system. When applied during the postpartum period, CST helps with breastfeeding issues, colic and many more challenges. When applied in Birth Imprint sessions, helps integration somatically.
CERTIFIED LACTATION COUNSELING & EDUCATION
In-home visits to guide, coach & support breastfeeding mothers. Lactation consulting is an essential resource that helps new mothers overcome the hurdles that can present themselves in the early days and months of their breastfeeding journey.
BIRTH IMPRINTS
Our experiences during birth (both giving birth and being born) create lasting imprints and unconscious narratives that can dramatically impact our lives and the lives of our descendants. Understanding the power of these imprints, and helping clients integrate them in ways that heal and empower is a foundational modality that underlies all of Luka’s work.
ABDOMINAL WOMB THERAPY
A merging of techniques learned through traditional abdominal womb massage, postpartum-centered pelvic physical therapy, visceral manipulation and lymphatic massage.
TRADITIONAL POSTPARTUM BELLY BINDING
Also known as Fajada, this ancient yet relevant practice helps the uterus, major organs & abdominal wall receive the support and warmth needed to properly heal as well as other benefits. Aspects of Closing of the Bones is weaved in to help the body integrate this closing chapter.
BONE CLOSING CEREMONY
Using a rebozo, this bone closing ceremony is a sacred way to both physically and spiritually “close” a mother’s body after birth. This is a safe, time-honored tradition from Mexico, Central and South America that can help facilitate healing and a sense of security after this powerful life transition.
YONI STEAMING
Yoni, or vaginal, steaming is an ancient practice long used to restore menstrual health, facilitate postpartum healing (including miscarriage and abortion), increasing libido and sensitivity, and promote emotional health & healing. Our facilitation of this practice includes the creation of custom herbal blends.
