What it addresses
The discomforts of C-section recovery
01
Reduce Swelling
Gentle lymphatic drainage helps alleviate post-surgery swelling and oedema, reducing the heaviness and discomfort common in the first weeks after a C-section.
02
Restore Lymphatic Flow
Stimulates the natural drainage of lymph fluid and supports detox from medications used during surgery — the work your body would do faster on its own without the disruption of a major operation.
03
Faster Recovery
Encourages circulation around the surgical site (without touching the incision), eases bloating-related pain, and helps the uterus return to its original size in the natural timeline.

How it compares
Signature Drainage vs Postnatal Massage
Signature Drainage Massage
Specifically designed to target the lymphatic system, aiding the removal of excess fluids and toxins accumulated post-surgery. Particularly beneficial for C-section mums whose lymphatic drainage was disrupted by abdominal surgery.
Postnatal Massage
Holistic support tailored to address a wider range of postpartum concerns beyond swelling, providing relaxation, pain relief, and overall rejuvenation. Many mums book both — drainage first, postnatal massage from week 6 onwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start this massage after my C-section?
Most mums begin 4–6 weeks post-op with clearance from their obstetrician. We work around the incision — nothing is applied directly to the scar until your doctor confirms it’s fully healed.
How is this different from a regular postnatal massage?
The Signature Drainage Massage targets the lymphatic system specifically — gentle, rhythmic, focused on fluid clearance and detox from surgical medications. A regular postnatal massage works deeper into muscles for whole-body relaxation, jamu paste, and bengkung wrap. They’re complementary, not interchangeable.
Can I have this massage at home?
Yes — we offer home visits anywhere in Singapore. A small transport fee applies based on your location. Many C-section mums prefer home service in the first weeks while mobility is limited.
Will the drainage massage interfere with breastfeeding?
No. The treatment supports your recovery and circulation; it won’t affect milk supply. Many mums find the relaxation actually improves let-down at the next feed.
