Belly Binding Testimonials
This type of belly binding is the closest thing I could find to what my grandmother did for me in Mexico when I had my first baby. She came and wrapped me every day for weeks, but we don't have many things like that here. Plus, the materials are beautiful and make you feel good when you've just given birth. Amanda was great and the wrap was very pretty. I wasn't that strong right after birth, so my husband wrapped me more to begin with because I like it tighter. After two kids, I'm back to a size 6/8 which is where I was before pregnancy, and I really think the binding helped that. The stomach just needs help staying flat when the muscles aren't back yet.

I took a yoga class with Amanda and told her I was having a lot of back and hip pain even 6 weeks after birth, and she suggested belly binding for support. I had already bought one of the belly bands and didn't like it, so I was skeptical. She gave me videos to watch in case I wanted to do it myself, but I couldn't take the time to make a wrap and practice off of videos. So I had her make me a wrap and she came to my home to teach me and my husband to belly bind. I'm so glad I went that route. She spent half an hour teaching us how to do it, showing us different options, and then wrapped me snugly before leaving. I've been wearing the belly binding for 9-10 hours every day for 3 weeks now and love it. It feels like a warm hug around the hips and stomach. My back is hurting so much less now, which makes me actually enjoy going to yoga. I go in the mornings and then wrap right afterwards and feel great all day. I plan to belly bind for a couple more weeks as I get stronger. I definitely recommend this to anyone hoping for more core support after giving birth! Many thanks to Amanda for being so helpful.

I got to know Amanda through a birth class to which she came as a special guest. Her maturity and knowledge about the birth and related topics made me keep in touch with her and later on I hired her services for placenta encapsulation. I was total ignorant about the topic, and now I would recommend trying placenta encapsulation and Amanda's services to every new mom. Amanda is expert in a wide spectrum of services and more than anything the serenity that she brings with her is something special about her.

Amanda is freaking amazing. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced. But even more important for me, she is approachable, casual, and personable.

I was referred to Amanda by my doula because I had three-finger diastasis recti at 3 months after birth. I saw a physical therapist as well, but wanted to try everything to get it to go back to normal. I couldn't even carry my son's car seat because I was so weak. The belly binding Amanda did for me was so helpful. The wrap just helps you feel so solid and reminds you to pay attention to how you're standing and holding your body. Yoga, exercises from my PT, and the binding totally got rid of my separation.
