[Acknowledging the gaslighting undertones of the owner's response. Fluffy messaging, sidestepping core issue.] Working with Princess, the owner of BelliBind, was one of the most unprofessional and distressing experiences I've had. For a long time I suppressed the memory and didn't leave a review in December 2021 because I was overwhelmed postpartum. However, receiving a recent automated email from the company brought the experience back, and I feel it's important to share a word of caution for other mothers -- especially those whose postpartum experience may not be smooth or well-supported. Like many mothers, my daughter's birth did not go according to plan. I nearly lost her, she required hospitalization in the NICU for respiratory distress, and when she came home she had an extremely severe case of colic. She could not be soothed by anyone except me, including my husband, and the situation in our home was incredibly stressful and overwhelming. When the BelliBind employee came for the first session, she was kind and genuinely tried to help. I have no criticism of her personally. She attempted to support me by assertively requesting that my husband manage the baby so I could have the appointment. Unfortunately, the reality of our situation made that impossible. Our baby was extremely distressed, tensions escalated, and I simply could not relax or continue the session. I ultimately asked to cancel the remainder of the visit. My concern arose afterward when I contacted Princess to request a refund for the remaining unused sessions. I made it clear that I was completely willing to pay for the first visit, but asked if she could consider a prorated refund for the thousands of dollars of services that had not been rendered and realistically could not be completed given my circumstances. At the time, I was in a very fragile psychological state postpartum, experiencing severe depression and even suicidal thoughts -- something I could clearly recognize as an otherwise strong Licensed Clinical Social Worker (knowing postpartum can be suddenly triggering for those who survive childhood abuse/neglect). I communicated this openly in the hope that she might approach the situation with compassion and flexibility. She knew my mission in life was to protect other vulnerable individuals, and I thought in this moment of vulnerability, hers was to look after postpartum moms. Instead, the response I received was shockingly cold and combative. The empathy that had been conveyed earlier in the process disappeared entirely. In my own telephone conversation with Princess, she refused any form of accommodation or refund and communicated in a manner that felt volatile and dismissive. The interaction became so upsetting that my husband ultimately had to step in to try to handle the conversation in order to protect me during an already vulnerable postpartum period. Following our joint attempts to reason with her over the phone and seemingly reaching a mutually agreeable resolution at the time, Princess later emailed to inform us that she decided NOT refund 4 unused sessions, and she requested that I use them in a "2-week postponement period" ... as if our unglamorous situation would somehow magically resolve in 2 weeks. If only the reality of our lives could morph it one of her captivating social media marketing photos in that 2-week period. As referenced in the attached screenshots, she states, "Please note we have offered to provide you with: 2 week postponement of services, once you have more of a handle on your child's needs." Needless to say, the latter comment to "get a handle on our child's needs" was incredibly offensive. Her additional comments were equally perplexing: "I truly believe, as a post-birth professional with a team providing in-home recovery support and newborn care guidance to birthing families for nearly a decade now, that we would be doing you a great disservice by just giving you a full refund opposed to the many options you could use with the care you already have paid for with us." The fact that a business owner of a service directed towards postpartum mothers, could be so rigid, inflexible, and tone-deaf continues to baffle me. Ultimately, I filed a claim with my credit card company, and Chase quickly reviewed the situation and happily obtained a refund for the *unused amount*, as per my request to Princess. This experience was deeply disappointing. Postpartum mothers are often in extremely vulnerable positions, and businesses that market services specifically to new mothers should operate with a basic level of compassion, integrity, and professionalism. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here, and the utter lack of integrity continues to shock me in memory. I can only hope that some version of karma eventually reinforces the importance of genuine integrity, so that other mothers receive what is truly good for them ... even when life has unexpected challenges in store. read more

This is my second time working with BelliBind and it was just as wonderful as the first. Princess and her staff are lovely and the service is so necessary for postpartum self care. I've gifted it to friends as well and they have been just as satisfied! Would definitely recommend for the postpartum experience. read more

I'm glad one of my Instagram scrolls led me to BelliBind via Chrissy Teigen! BelliBinding provided me with an early sense of my body returning to normalcy postpartum! I'm thankful I chose this for ME! Only regret is that I didn't pay for more sessions! Those rubs were so good they sent me to sleep for the duration of the session and my body felt rejuvenated afterwards! Watching my tummy return to close to what it was antepartum almost immediately after birth is one joy I'll hold on to for a longtime and I know this was due in large part to my TriWrap sessions (with full body run upgrade included)! Even now that I am a few months out, I still bind when life permits and there is a sense of "put togetherness" that it gives me! Special shout out to my specialist, Jasmine!!! Her warmth and energy and how flexible she was with all the sessions made it all the more worth it! And hey, you bet there is an added level of comfort when a trained MD is giving you personalized care postpartum!!! Recommend this for every new mum out there! Don't overthink the cost - just do it! Your body and MIND will thank you! Put it on your registry if you must - you'll be surprised there are more people in your life rooting for your recovery than you know! read more

If there is one post partum ritual I recommend, it's getting Princess to come over and give you her full belly binding experience. She is such a beautiful person inside and out and gives the most calming, nurturing vibe. She treats you with such love and care, she was without a doubt an essential part of my post partum care. She starts each session off by applying a warming herb paste on your belly while playing a guided meditation that's so refreshing and relevant to motherhood. She places warm cozy socks on your feet (that you get to keep, yay!!) and gives the most amazing body rub down. This was such a healing way to recover from feeling touched out all day by a toddler and newborn (and Husband haha) that I didn't realize how important it was to have a touch that gives back. Princess explained how vital it was for mothers to have a massage and I am now a huge advocate of this! She then wraps (pun intended) up each session by binding you in her beautiful cloths and then comes back 2 days later to redo the whole process each time. When I finished my last wrap with her I shrunk down insanely close to my prepregnancy size, and a few days later I was actually my precious size! More importantly, the way she wrapped me made me feel like my organs were back in place and nothing felt loose or jelly like. I was so so so sad when our sessions had come to an end. At the last visit she gifts each mama with special little treats and tools to keep your self care going. Princess is seriously such a beautiful soul, I highly recommend her and her business to everyone. She was truly my favorite part of the post partum experience! read more

BelliBind - Doulas Near Me

I recently received the Tri-Wrap package service in person and really enjoyed it. Being that this is my first baby and I really didn't know what the fourth trimester was going to be like, the Tri-Wrap package was exactly what I needed during a time of so much change and not enough sleep. It truly was wonderful to have one hour of self care set aside for myself every few days. Even though I've only worn the wrap a few days, I do have to say that it does help with posture. Specifically, when I'm wearing the wrap I feel like my body is "whole" (not sure if that even makes sense) and I am not slouching -after delivering my baby I felt like I was constantly slouching to breast feed. In addition, my BelliBind specialist, Jessica, was AMAZING! She was so easy to work with to coordinate in person appointments, she made BelliBind wrapping seem so easy after showing me how to do it, a great source of information when it comes to postpartum and baby care, and just so nice to talk to. At this time, I cannot speak on the long term effects of the BelliBind because I have only used the wrap for a few days -I will try to remember to update my review once I have completed 40 days of using my BelliBind. The one area that could use some improvement is the shipping department. It would be nice to receive a tracking number for orders being shipped. Even though I did receive my full order eventually, I did have to contact the shipping department twice to inquire about my extra BelliBind wrap -for some reason it was not shipped with the rest of my order. read more

Words cannot express how thankful I am for having Destinee be part of my postpartum journey. I booked the Premium package and had Destinee as my BelleBind Experience Specialist. I gotta admit, I was a little nervous initially because there weren't many reviews on Destinee and was a little disappointed I wasn't able to get Princess. However, this turned out to be such a beautiful experience for me. Throughout each of my 5 sessions, Destinee was amazing - whether it's the way she handled my body during the massage sessions, in our conversations, or in the way she wrapped my belly. It's like I'm having my own meditative and healing therapy. I love how authentic she is as a person, and you can tell she genuinely loved caring for new mamas like myself. She is also a doula and lactation counselor, and I am really grateful for the many tips and advice she generously shared with me when I tell her the challenges I faced. As a FTM who is literally learning on the job how to care for a newborn and herself, I am utterly grateful for the support Destinee provided during my postpartum journey, whether it's physically or emotionally. The belly binding helped tighten up my belly and made me feel a little more 'me' again. It was really nice to have someone take care of me, esp when you get caught up caring for a newborn and you forget about 'you' for a moment. So, thank you, Destinee and Princess. You ladies are doing such an incredible job for all postpartum mamas and I am glad I am one of them. Highly, highly, highly recommend for all mamas who are looking for some postpartum love. read more

I had a great experience. I upgraded my wrapping sessions to include the full-body therapy rub, and I'm so glad I did. The sessions were so relaxing. Definitely what I needed as part of my post-part I'm recovery. It was my me time and self-care. Thank you Gigi for sharing some tips, and for making the whole experience so enjoyable and pleasant. The reason I'm not giving it 5 starts is the price. It is expensive and definitely had to budget for it. But so worth it. I do wish they had a sliding scale so this would be affordable to every postpartum mom. The good thing is that if you cannot afford the in-person, they have a virtual session, which I'm guessing is more affordable. read more

Bellibind provides a much needed stop-gap in post-partum care from birth until the 6 week followup. This review is for virtual service as in-person was not available due to my baby coming slightly early, and the COVID surge in winter of last year. I feel that in-person services would have better justified the price. I learned self-massage and self-binding, things I think I could have likely found on youtube. I personally have a strong grasp on relaxation, meditation, and grounding strategies already. I appreciated the ability to access someone that had knowledge re: post partum physical issues. Overall, I appreciated the contact with a postpartum doula moreso than the binding/massage/relaxation services. I would recommend considering in-person services if available, especially if you are not already well-versed in self-care strategies. read more

I love Princess and I love BelliBind! Princess is a natural healer and meets moms exactly where they are at post birth. No judgement, she is so accepting. She came to our home to do belly binding and healing massage but also taught me how to use my baby carrier and gave me tips on how to make my day to day mom life easier-- on me and my babe. This was the best investment I made as a new mom and I'd recommend it to all moms who are postpartum. read more

BelliBind - Doulas Near Me

My review is late, my daughter was born in June of 2019 and it was quite the traumatic experience. Destiny, was my assigned doula and I opted for the premium binding experience. So Healing, So relieving, and extraordinarily supportive. Destiny was a postpartum angel that came in and gave me information to help me with my immediate struggles as a new mother and help me heal from the trauma of bringing life to this world. Both Princess and Destiny were extremely professional in way that made you feel embraced as a woman, by women. Simply stated, the massages and wraps and process was beautiful and if I were to have another I would definitely get this service again. This service is as much as a must have to new birthed mothers as that medela breast pump... y read more

Princess is a very sweet, attentive doula with a bright energy. I felt safe & supported in her care. She also was very easy to work with in regards to my scheduling needs and changes. I had 3 sacred belly binding sessions with her and most certainly have seen results already! (see pic) I am now 11 weeks postpartum and had been struggling with the fact that I was still 40 pounds over my pre pregnancy weight. Beyond that, I truly felt like my body was asking for more intentional TLC. From the first wrap, we already saw water weight clearing & I could feel my rib cage getting back to where it is supposed to be and my organs being supported. I only wish I'd found this earlier in my postpartum journey, since I'm now becoming more active and the wraps can be a little bit tricky to really move in for a working choreographer! Also, I LOVED getting the short massage before each wrap! I'd expected that part to be longer when I'd originally booked 3 sessions. In any case, I enjoyed my time with Princess & am grateful! read more

BelliBind - First wrap, then 3rd! - Doulas Near Me

I booked the Tri-Wrap Session and got Destinee Hall as my BelleBind Experience Specialist. She was truly amazing and left me feeling so relaxed(literally put me to sleep) after each massage. I saw a huge difference after the three times that she came to do my belly binding and noticed it when she cut some fabric my final session because the wrap was now too long! She also showed me how to wrap myself during the last session so that I can continue it myself. I felt so much better after each session with Destinee. She has such a calming and loving aura to her that adds to the energy in the room. I would definitely recommend her to everyone that needs some self care after bringing a little human into the world. read more

I received the in person and virtual services from Bellibind and let me tell you, I can't recommend it enough. I was thinking back to what was my favorite part of my sessions and I honestly can't choose, the whole thing was my favorite! My Bellibind specialist Celene has the energy and the hands of a healer. I would always look forward to my sessions with her because I knew how relaxed and refreshed I would feel afterwards. As soon as Celene began our therapy rub my body instantly melted and felt grounded. This was my first baby and I didn't expect to feel what I felt in my body, especially my abdomen. Before I was wrapped I had to literally hold my abdomen to be able to walk since I had just given birth and I have diastasis recti. After Celene wrapped me I felt like a whole new person. I was able to stand more upright and the wrap held my abdomen for me. This made it so much easier to move, roll in bed, get up out of bed, get up off the couch, and easier to hold my baby. I honestly don't know how other people do it without having a custom postpartum recovery wrap. The cloth felt so nice, soft and warm! It also helped get rid of a lot of the gassiness and bloating I was having those first couple weeks after giving birth. The other thing I loved was the fact that Celene is also a postpartum Doula. Every time she'd come over she would check in with me and hold space for me to be able to chat anything out that I needed to. Any questions I had that was related to my recovery and to being a new mom she had answers to or would provide me with the resources I needed. The service is wonderful but Celene's calming, loving, and healing energy is really what made them as amazing as they were. Once I finished my sessions with Celene I moved on to my virtual sessions with Princess. The virtual sessions were great as well and worked out perfectly as my body was more healed at this point. It was like my sessions transitioned with me. When I was doing the in person sessions I was completely being cared for as I started them at 2 days postpartum. But with the virtual sessions I feel like I was being guided on how to continue providing that same type of care for myself. Princess guided me on self massage, self womb rub, breath work, meditation and gratitude practice, and self belly binding. She also provided great resources and support for my breastfeeding as I was having issues with oversupply. By the time I was finished with my virtual sessions I was feeling much better in my body. My abdominal muscles were still quite weak but I can feel they had gained more strength than where they were at the beginning of my in person sessions. I was able to confidently continue to wrap myself and tried carving out that 1 hour of time to myself still so I can continue with what I learned in my virtual sessions. Overall, I truly believe every newly postpartum parent should receive this service. It is truly what we need for our healing and for a reset. Thank you Celene and Princess for facilitating my healing on my postpartum journey. read more

Being wrapped by Bellibind was one of the best practices I had done during my postpartum healing. Not only did the wrapping help my body heal physically but it was so nice to have time set aside to relax and be nurtured. -April Fors read more

Princess and I did our birth doula training together - and at the time she wasn't even a mama! As if that wasn't impressive enough. She TRULY encompasses every aspect of what a caregiver should be and is. She is the BEST at her craft and has had close to a decade of experience centered around birth work. She has been featured in babycenter and graced many birth + breastfeeding conventions and classes. I can recommend her services enough. She will not only take care of you, but answer any questions you have centered around breastfeeding, postpartum health, and all things belly binding. LA best belly binding expert by far ! read more

Bellibind was such a positive aspect of my postnatal recovery. I worked with Princess and Tay - who are both incredible women. Highly recommend them and the Bellibind process. It was the first true thing I did for myself after birth - aside from basic self care- and not only did it speed up my physical recovery, it was huge for my mental health to take some time out of my day to care for me. I thought the wrapping might be tricky but it was very straightforward and so nice that it could change with my body. All the products in the kit are fantastic and I can't wait to use this service again after the next pregnancy. read more

Princess knows exactly what is important--ease, comfort, feeling beautiful, as well as inner wellness. I'm my experience, Princess delivered all of things with gentle wrapping and frequent visits, using beautiful patterned wraps, using uplifting mantras and practical advice on how to eat and nourish myself and my daughter. My belly binding brought me a lot of comfort and made me feel healthier because of the self-care. I would highly recommend Princess. She will not only BelleBind you, she will notice your needs (almost before you do) and offer things that help. She helped with my breastfeeding positions and I breastfed for 2 years because we started on the right foot with Princess. My birth and postpartum without Princess would have been such a lonely journey with more questions than answers. She was the first call I made when I had a need and she always came through with a natural, healthy and informational response. She is more than just a doula and belly binder, she is an ally, advocate and calming supporter of new mothers. The best information I can give for mother's thinking of getting a BelleBind is that there is nothing that compares to Princess's wrapping skills and knowledge. Not a velcro strap or zip tie, waist cincher, or other wraps. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Bellibind. My initial consultation with Princess was very thorough and informative. I was so happy to learn that specialist Marla was in my neighborhood. She was great! Very knowledgable and so kind. I felt so comfortable with the body work- the massage and wrap was pp self care I needed. I lost over 3 inches in 5 sessions. Oh! And BONUS!!! she is also a doula and lactation consultant!! Very helpful! Thank you so much Marla! read more

This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I got the 10 pack because I knew I'd need all the support I could get after giving birth, and it was AMAZING!!! the whole experience of care and guidance and support was incredible -- the wrapping itself and massage but also the wisdom and tips for being a new mom, the meditations, the gifts, I could go on and on! If you know a pregnant woman this is the best thing you could get for her -- better than the baby shower gifts because when you support her she will support her baby even more. I was back to my pre-baby weight after just 4 months and more importantly I had energy to restart my business, because of great postnatal care. We had some health challenges in month 2 & 3 with my daughter and had I not done Bellibind I don't know how I would have survived. Thank you Princess and your team! read more

I thought I was just getting taught to wrap. It was an entire hour of relaxation, self massage, meditation and more. With a baby in the NICU and a toddler at home, this was exactly what I needed and would have never taken the time for myself normally. THANK YOU for helping calm my mind and body. Highly recommend to any new mom! read more

I had a somewhat unusual experience but I think one worth sharing. I booked a 10-pack package with Bellibind but was only able to have one appointment because I ended up getting some birth recovery issues/symptoms and was told by my doctor and physical therapist to stop any belly binding just to be safe. I communicated that to Princess and she was incredibly supportive, offered to help me find resources and was there for emotional support. She checked in on me and when I wasn't able to continue belly binding she refunded my package. So while I can't really review the service itself (I wish I could, I was so looking forward to it) I can really recommend Princess and how flexible and kind/supportive she is read more

The trip wrap experience was a wonderful experience after having my little one. Princess is the most amazing, sweet and experienced person to have a wrap done by. I felt so supported and it really helped after giving birth to have Princess come to the house and show me exactly how to take good care of myself. I would recommend this to every new mom! I didn't get to have this experience with my first born and I am so glad I got to have it for my second. Belly binding done right and with so much love and light! Thank you again! read more

As a man being able to support your family in all ways is a top priority. After being with girl during the entire pregnancy and labor I knew how important it was for her to be able to come back to herself. Healing from spending 10 months creating our little babygirl doesn't happen overnight but Bellibind as a company made the process so much easier. The care, attention to what's needed and holistic healing process Princess and her team offer is beyond just a simple wrap. If your an expecting father make sure you add Bellibind to the list of necessary care for your women after she gives birth to your child. She'll thank you read more

"Postpartum Ancient Thai Belly Wrap ( Belly Binding )" I'm a big fan of 'Natural Remedies' especially when it comes to maintaining my health & wellness. Postpartum - your body needs the most nutritious 'anything' after delivery of a baby. My Birth Doula Princess gave me ' Ancient Thai Belly Wrap' - LOVED the result! Highly recommended. *** What you want for your Birth Doula? Knowledgeable, caring, Mamma-oriented, experienced with different senarios, someone who encourages you to stay out of chemicals- knows natural remedies = my Birth Doula, Princess! *** Why do you want the Thai Belly Wrap? To get rid of the baby bump! And to prepare your body for the next baby - Nutrition to your body, healing elements in the paste. *** How do you wear the 'Thai Belly Wrap' ? 1. The paste is made of all natural ingredients, being applied & massaged on to your belly gently. (smells very soothing) Princess makes sure that your entire body is so relaxed- played soothing music and massaged my belly for 10 min before even applying the paste. She's takes care of a 'Mamma'! 2. Paste is covered with a gauze, your belly will be wrapped with 100% organic cotton, each layer is being weaved by her to fit your Thecomfortably. She will adjust the tightness based on your most comfortness. 3. The wrap will stay on for 2~3 days to maximize the benefit - effective ingredients of paste goes under your skin. 4. I jumped in a shower with my wrap on and took it off inside the shower. Paste is dry by the time you take a shower, easy to rinse off. 5. You will have 2~3 sets of your own organic wrap customized for you. Princess is so health oriented that she even washes all your wraps with non-chemical detergent! 6. She also gave me tips for postpartum exercise to work on your belly. *** The Result *** During my 2nd wrap, I think it was decause of all the good ingredients in the paste - made me poop so much, my belly got much smaller afterwards. Only after 5 wraps, my belly was smaller. Skin became firmer & stretch marks were reduced. Overall, my Thai Belly Wrap experience was AWESOME! If you want to nurture/ heal your body & get the result at the same time, just call her. Highly Recommended !!! Thank you so much Princess for all the love, care & encouragement you gave me & my body!! I needed that so much after my pregnancy. And because of your sincere support, I'm more confident and determined to prepare my body in the healthiest way for our next baby. Can't thank you enough!! read more

I am so glad I decided to invest in the belly binding service! I had no idea how tough postpartum life would be, especially after a c-section, but Destinee helped me feel like a human again. She is so incredibly warm, comforting, and knowledgeable. I feel so fortunate to have been in her gracious hands, literally. The belly binding itself is a must. After a csection, my core felt very loose but the binding made me feel so secure, like a hug for my abdomen! The process of being wrapped is very therapeutic as well. But the magic lies in the session itself. Destinee finds a way to turn your home (hectic home in my case) into a sanctuary, even if it's just for the time being. Her massaging hands relax you and the meditation centers you, even during this challenging time. I highly recommend this postpartum (treat yo self) treatment. Postpartum is so unbelievably taxing and we mamas deserve reprieve. Thank you Destinee and Princess for your service! read more

Princess was my back up birthing doula and I couldn't have been more happy it ended up that way. She provided me with such comfort and encouragement. She made me feel powerful and encouraged me to vocalized my needs and wants to the medical staff. I would've had an entirely different birthing experience without her. Soon after we hired her as our post partum doula and I wouldn't have survived those early days and months without her. She gave massage, aromatherapy, wraps, provided me with snacks, provided education on breastfeeding and newborn care. The most important part was that she provided a non judgmental space for me. She really felt like an extended member of our family. We won't hesitate to hire her again once we add another little one. Hiring her was the best decision we ever made! read more

I had never heard of belly binding until Princess told me about it. I thought i'd try it out after researching a little more about it. Princess came to my home and showed me how to wrap, it was super easy when it came down to it! She is superrr nice and helpful. And so far, 1 month postpartum (and no special/strict diet) the results are great. I posted a pic as well :) thanks princess! read more

Bellibind Is a perfect mix of luxurious pampering, necessary self-care, connecting with grounded and wise women, and spiritual nurturing. I only wish I would have booked my sessions in the first week of postpartum! My hubby was very encouraging and set up the tri-wrap package for me. We are both very spiritual and believe in the energetic aspects of life, especially pregnancy and birth so it was important not just for physical reasons but also to help ground myself back into my body and heal the womb space that was left after baby made her way into the world. The wrap felt so comforting and supportive as did everything the Bellibind ladies do- from the massage, journaling, pelvic floor and womb exercises, energy work, body scrub and goodies and the simple yet profound gift of just having someone to talk to.. this is not just a service, it's an experience and a gift that you must get. Make sure you save your wrap for each session!! read more

This was more than JUST a belly binding experience. Destinee was such a magical part of my postpartum healing process and I can not recommend spending the money and time on this because the experience is invaluable. Every time she left, my husband would comment on how relaxed and happy I was. The actual belly bind makes your entire womb feel supported and like your whole being is being hugged. But on top of that, Destinee was always ready to listen and offer reassurance/encouragement without judgment. The postpartum healing experience is intense (both emotionally and physically). I felt truly taken care of with the same gentleness and compassion that we offer to our newborns, but so rarely are offered as new mamas. I am so happy to have been graced by Destinee's healing presence during such a vulnerable time of my life. My biggest worry about booking this service was how I would have the time to take an hour to myself with a newborn, but she will work with you! (I even nursed baby during the massage!) It actually helped me understand and feel comfortable with navigating how to carve out self-care time for myself moving forward. read more

Princess is amazing. And the sessions were the best thing I could've done for myself postpartum. Not only did she help heal me physically & mentally but she taught me valuable relaxation techniques...amazing tips on how to care for my newborn & breastfeed. She went above & beyond the wraps & all I can say is I miss her already! Don't hesitate...you'll be in great loving hands. read more

This was the best thing I could've done for myself during postpartum. Princess is amazing. She's soft spoken, sweet and her energy is calming. I had a total ten wraps done that came with a massage and meditation session each time. And the best part was that I lost all my baby weight by the last wrap. I'm so happy I was able to do this and honor my body in such a beautiful way. read more

Destinee was such an important part of my postpartum healing and I cannot recommend BelliBind enough! It was worth every penny. In those first couple of weeks with a newborn, it is so crucial to have some time for the mother alone, and so impossible to take it. Having Destinee there ensured I took that time for myself, even if it was just an hour here and there. She was able to transform my bedroom into what felt like a spa and leave me feeling blissfully relaxed, recharged, and ready to get back to caring for my daughter. She went out of her way to be there for me, I learned so much from her about how to care for my baby in the early days. She was patient whenever my baby would interrupt sessions because she needed to be fed or was fussy. She was very respectful when I was going through an especially hard time one day, but is also the type of person who you naturally want to open up to, and she was there to just listen. She was SO, SO giving of her time. Even weeks after our bellibind sessions ended, she was there for me when some unexpected medical complications arose. She made me feel she truly cared most about my recovery, not how long our session was running. I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Princess worked with me post partum to do belly binding. She is extremely warm and caring and easily put me at ease. She was also very accommodating of my schedule as a new mom and was able to come to our house in the evening when the baby was sleeping. The sessions are very short, but therapeutic. She shares advice about parenthood as a mother herself and also uses some aromatherapy and light massage. It felt great to have a belly wrap during my recovery - it is warm and supportive and reassuring during the chaotic adjustment period of recovery and becoming a new parent. read more

Our experience with Princess is the best thing that could possibly happen to our family!!! She was the only person who was helping us with a baby, and she was more than enough. She is simply amazing: great positive energy, very attentive, knowledgeable, calming , sweet, always on time, never forgets to check on you even on her day off, very easy and accommodating in terms of scheduling needs. She would always support me, always with a smile and words of encouragement. Princess worked with me post partum to do belly binding and helping with a baby. Our belly binding sessions were very therapeutic both physically and mentally. She would also give massages, teach me relaxation techniques and prepare most delicious herbal tea that helped with my recovery. While helping with a baby, what amazed me the most about her, is that she never asked what needed to be done, she knew everything and most importantly, she would get things done!!!!

She will always have a very special place in my heart. I can't thank her enough. I would highly recommend her ! Thank you, Princess. LOVE, LA- HK fam read more

Princess was my doula in support from day one home from the hospital to when our baby was 7 months. She was absolutely amazing!!! I feel extremely lucky to have had someone so supportive, knowledgeable, compassionate and loving in our home to help me in my healing and to help with our baby boy and our family as a whole unit. She became a part of our family and I will never forget how special she made me feel and how she educated me on ways to get my newborn to sleep easier etc. When I had trouble breastfeeding, Princess was there in support to help me get through it and to get the right team behind me to troubleshoot. She connected me with a fantastic lactation consultant who was also top in her field and was able to help us get through those hurdles that was making breastfeeding a bit of a struggle for us but in the end we succeeded which made me so happy. Look no further. Princess is professional, hardworking and so lovely to work with! I'm sure you will fall in love with her just like we did. read more

Princess is just amazing. She supported my husband and I at the end of my labor when I called her during my final 10 hours or so of trying to get my cervix to dilate at home. It was a long labor and she came on such short notice and is the one person throughout my birth experience that I felt really connected with me And where I was at. She is empathetic and has a vast knowledge. She speaks the language of a laboring/new mama and I'm forever grateful for her presence. She also did belly binding and the paste for me postpartum and it was very healing. I recommend her for any family. She's a gem, that's for sure.:) read more

Doula Princess is great at what she does. She is very caring and warm. She has a very calming peaceful presence. I was a bit tense from being up all night with my newborn and she gave me the most amazing massage that totally relaxed me. During the binding session she was very nurturing and patient as she walked me through the process. I'm looking forward to seeing great results. read more

I am so blessed to know Princess. She is a genuinely nice person and as a fellow doula, I reached out to her after having my baby for belly binding. She started out our sessions with a relaxing massage followed by a restful meditation and finished with the actual binding. I gained 75 pounds with this pregnancy and the binding really helped to support my back, especially with breastfeeding. I also saw and felt a noticeable difference in helping my abdomen to start the process of returning to its pre-pregnancy state. The herbal paste she prepared and applied helped to soothe my skin and fade some discoloration. She also made me some soothing herbal tea bags for the bath and a yummy body scrub to use in the shower. Princess is so sweet and nurturing and my time with her was very special. I highly recommend her and this wonderful service to any woman after having a baby. read more

Princess is such a wonderful Doula. I used her services for one day postpartum. ( I wish I could have had her help even longer) I was exhausted, hormonal and emotional and Princess came to my house and just "loved" me. She has such a warm and soothing countenance and made me feel like someone truly understood what I had just been through and the emotions and fatigue I was experiencing. Her visit was the first time in over 2 weeks that I made a conscious effort to breath and relax and not worry about baby while she was with dad. Her massage is amazing and the environment she creates with music, meditation exercises and aromatherapy transformed my bedroom into a sanctuary. I felt so cared for and loved! She made a sitz bath tea for me and prepped cooing pads as well as awesome belly binding which really helped support me as I lifted my baby all day and night! I highly recommend her! She is a beautiful person and makes you feel so special! read more
