Womb Lifting Massage
Thai Womb Lifting Massage is a deeply transformative hands-on abdominal treatment that supports both the physical and energetic alignment of the womb. Through intentional massage around the belly and pelvic region, this practice improves circulation, eases digestive and menstrual discomfort, supports fertility, and helps you reconnect with your center.
This modality is especially supportive for women experiencing hormonal imbalances, emotional holding, fertility challenges, or postpartum recovery. Womb Lifting can also be supportive during times of transition or grieving—when grounding and reconnection to self are most needed.
I was trained in this lineage of massage in Thailand by Homprang Chaleekanha, M.S., a renowned practitioner.
My sessions are offered with reverence for your body’s wisdom and for the womb as a seat of power, memory, and transformation.
What can womb lifting do?
Womb lifting offers powerful support for a woman’s overall health. The womb is the center, the core —physically and energetically. Working with this area of the body increases blood flow and vitality to a place that holds so much of our strength. Womb lifting can be beneficial for:
Pre-pregnancy and infertility
Hormone regulation
Menstruation support, especially for irregular, infrequent or short cycles
Release of tension in the abdomen
Emotional release
Relief from PMS/PMDD symptoms
Relaxation, a lifting of the spirits, general wellness, and self care
My process: what to expect
Thai Womb Lifting Massage is designed to support your body’s natural alignment, circulation, and well-being. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Intake
Before every session, we begin with a conversation about your needs. I’ll ask questions related to your current physical and emotional state of being.
2. Meridian Line Massage
The hands-on portion begins with an acupressure massage that works along the meridian lines of the body to open energetic channels. This process helps relax the nervous system and prepare the body and womb to receive work.
3. Abdominal Massage
Using precise and intentional movements, I massage the belly and pelvic area to encourage circulation, release tension, and support the organs (including the uterus) in returning to optimal alignment. This can also bring relief to digestive discomfort, menstrual pain, or energetic stagnation. I then work along acupressure points on the stomach to begin the womb-lifting process.
4. Womb-Lifting
During this phase of the massage, I use my hands on external parts of the abdomen to gently manipulate the womb into its optimal place.
5. Hot Herbal Compress (Optional)
Traditional Thai herbs are wrapped in cloth and steamed, then used in a compress while hot to massage the body after the womb lifting. This phase promotes relaxation, softening, and allows the body to receive deeper healing through herbs.
6. Closing
I will close the massage with reiki, gentle massage, and a short integration talk.
Preparing for your womb lifting massage
I offer massages in-home within the Bay Area, or in my studio space, located in Mill Valley.
Please book your massage session with the following considerations:
Womb lifting is most effective when done in a series of 3 massages (2-3 weeks apart each).
Do not schedule your womb lifting massage while you are menstruating (allow 3 full days before and 3 full days after menstruation).
Do not schedule a womb lifting massage if you could be pregnant (herbal compress massage is a great alternative).
If you are actively trying to conceive you should schedule your session between menses and ovulation. It is also recommended that you come in for at least 3 treatments (2- 3 weeks apart) in the months prior to actively trying to conceive.
If you are beginning a stimulation cycle, it’s optimal to have a massage before injections begin.
If postpartum, you can schedule a massage 12-weeks after a vaginal delivery and 24-weeks after a c-section. If you want a massage sooner, an herbal compress massage can be done after birth.
During your booking, please note if you prefer to have your treatment done at your home or in my studio.
