Who Will Be Conducting the Massage GWTPL have trained all our masseuse professionally on a one to one basis to maintain the quality of standard on the service. We will not compromise on our standard of service to our customers. Any masseuse that GWTPL sends to you is trained to perform to the highest level of their knowledge and skills.
The sessions will usually commence from the 5th day to before 3 months (anytime in between). In the case that the mother is not comfortable upon reaching home and needs more time to adjust to the situation then the sessions can commence on a later date but as soon as possible maybe in a week or two as some people prefer this. This is for those who have gone through the process of normal birth. In the event of a Caesarian Section (C-Section) then it must be performed after the incision has closed properly. The massage will then commence usually after 1 month. Will The Massage Be Done At Home Or At The Clinic? 1. A comfortable single foamy mattress about 2 to 3 inches thick to be placed on the floor.
No, the massage sessions being done by us is not painful at all. There should not be more pain incurred by you then the one you are already having. Our masseuse are well trained to provide the right pressure to help eliminate your pain and not to give you more pain.
Arrangement will usually be made in the mornings as it is with traditional customs to begin the massage. The massage will last about 50 minutes and then will proceed to the wrapping that is the (bengkung). The length of the cloth varies from 12-16 metres. Your height and weight depicts the length of your cloth. You will have the cloth on for the whole day until the next morning when you remove it to shower and the same procedure takes place again. This repeats itself until the last day.
We suggest that you use the aircon instead of fan as the wind from the fan gets into your system faster than the air-con. In Singapore the whether is so hot so please do not deprive yourself of it. You can call us for more information on this. Yes but it is optional! That is the Abdominal Binder to wear after the eight days as on the last day there won't be any cloth binding and you will need to use this to further hold the work that we have already done for your body. You have to get the brown velcro type for a good support. It can be bought from the hospital pharmacy and it comes in S, M & L. Ask the staff at the pharmacy to pick the right size for you. This binder is usually recommended for those undergoing C-section operation as well. For those who have the green OSIM brand type is also ok so you don’t have to make another purchase unnecessarily. On the last day the masseuse will teach you how to use this the right way. Our suggestion is not to buy the binder first because when you have just delivered your tummy will be quite big and the pharmacy will ask you to get an "L" size. Then after your 8 massage sessions with us you will go to an "M" size or "S" size. Usually what GWTPL do is we can buy it for you at no extra charge as an added service to our customers.
Yes, in our practice it is for good hygiene purposes that the cloth (bengkung) be changed every single day as the mother cannot bathe and understandably with all the nutritious food being cooked with ginger the perspiration is more. We have taken this into consideration and we use only 100% cotton cloth that is of thin consistency and very breathable but which gives very good effect on the body after the wrap. (2 bengkungs will be provided for each cusromer). Please bear in mind that the bengkung is used only for wrapping your body despite of the colours and patterns they come in. GWTPL have taken pains to make sure that each and every bengkung is sterealised for the next customers use. The older the cloth the better the feel for this trade as newer cloth always has a lot of starch in it and it takes a long time to get rid of it. Worse you will not feel comfortable in it. Yes. Both of this will happen simultaneously because with the wrapping (bengkung) around the waist, buttocks and hips being worn by the mother for at least 20-22 hours a day and continuously for 7 days will help the contraction of pelvic bones and flatten the tummy faster to pre-pregnancy stage so that the mother will not have to upsize her clothes. The wrap (bengkung) will be tightly woven around the body and because of this it is believed to decrease appetite which will eventually lead to weight loss. Mothers will need to do at least a minimum of seven bindings so see the results. This will also help with the faster contraction of the uterus countered with the massage given. Mothers who have taken Epidural and encounter back problems will also benefit GREATLY from this wrap. NOTE: As our body chemistry varies from individual to individual so is the end results and the weight loss criteria. There are many contributary factors like how much a person eats, does she get enough sleep, what is her stress level like, does she have enough support, to what extend is her post-natal depression etc..
Yes you can still breastfeed and no your movements will not be restricted. Even though the wrap (bengkung) is tightly wrapped around your body it will loosen up a bit when you walk so you will feel more comfortable later. Only the best carrier oils that are 100% cold pressed (the best oil for Traditional Massage and the proper oil's for any body massage) are used to provide a smooth consistency without causing any irritation to the skin and most importantly the oils dry off after about 2 – 3 hours giving mothers the non-sticky feeling. The tantalizing smell of the aroma is so soothing to the nose so you get the perfect unique Traditional Indonesian massage plus the therapeutic values of the essential oils and it is odorless when it dries up that no one knows you’ve had a massage. This particular oil that is being used have the contents of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, Vit K and Vit E and will help those with even very sensitive skin and eczema (dry or weeping). It will not cause any irritation to the skin. The base oil is then mixed with another 4 essential oils to give mothers the best care ever and the benefits are listed as below:- 1) Encourages cell renewal thus heals scar tissues and reduces stretch marks, balances sebum, helps keep skin supple, tonifies dull
15) Reduces wind that is trapped inside the body during and after birth.
Yes definitely. A Lot of babies are jaundiced after they are being born and it starts to show from the 2nd or 3rd day onwards and understandably the parents are anxious and would want to make trips down to the hospital. Our suggestion is to do the traditional massage in the morning before you go to the hospital so as not to miss a session and your body will feel more firm and everything in place further more as earlier mentioned there is no disgusting smell so no one needs to know you had a massage. The tummy wrap will not show under your clothing so don’t worry.
Yes for the benefit of the mother we suggest that it does go on straight for seven days including Saturdays and Sundays and Public Holidays. If you need to go for a check up yourself then try to make the arrangement with your gynae in the morning and then do the traditional massage and wrap later in the afternoon. This can be arranged for but usually the schedule on the other days stays fixed. Don’t worry there will be flexibility for trips to the hospital but on the other hand please do inform the masseuse early of your scheduled appointment so as not to inconvenience the other mothers that we are servicing.
It will be rather difficult for this as the masseuse has to attend to other post-natal customers and the masseuse’s schedule will run haywire as well. Please spare a thought for this. Post-natal sessions are usually done in the mornings which starts with the first customer at 8.00am the next one at 10.00am then 12.00pm and ends with the last customer at 2.00pm. GWTPL will not entertain last minute changes unless it is an emergency so as to be fair to all of our customers. Timing can only be changed if other mothers that we are servicing agrees to change their timing with you. If it is not possible then GWTPL will not be held responsible for this whatsoever. Yes if possible with of course a plus five or ten minutes because if you are the first customer at 8.00am and if the masseuse has to wait half an hour and start the massage at 8.30am then the next customer at 10.00am will start at 10.30am and it will be the same for the rest. All will be pushed half an hour later because there is only one hour in between for the masseuse to travel to the next destination. In light of this GWTPL asks the co-operation of our customers to be on time. When Must I Make The Booking / Payment? 1) Baby Oil
Some of the above oils leaves a pungent smell on the mattress and your house and usually it does not go away. Imagine your selves being rubbed with these oils and the thought that you will not be able to shower normally but only using the recommended herbs. You will have to discard the mattress at the end of the session. Further more there is no therapeutic value and the oils stay on your skin the whole day with that smelly odor and greasy feeling. If by chance those oils abovementioned are being used and you are being charged the market rate of S$50 isn’t this too expensive. Those oils can be bought at very reasonable rates at your convenient store. You decide the best for yourself and your baby especially if you are breastfeeding. Please check with your masseuse which oils they are using for your own benefit and whether it is safe for breast feeding if you don’t decide to use us. NOTE: Essential Oils are 100% pure and without HARMFUL chemicals in them that makes it safe for use.
