✨ SAVE THE DATE ✨Bellybinding + Peri-Vaginal Steaming Training — April 2026
Hybrid training blending cultural lineage, hands-on expertise and deep postpartum wisdom.
This spring, Holistic Family Doulas will be hosting a rare and profound training opportunity taught by Salwa Salim — ethnic Malay traditional practitioner, international speaker and founder of Birth Matron™.
This is an initiation into holistic postpartum care rooted in the rich, time-honored Malay traditions of Bengkung belly binding and peri-vaginal steaming, taught by a cultural holder of this sacred knowledge.
Format:
• Online foundations + theory
• In-person intensive, fully hands-on belly binding & steaming
• Online integration + Q&A
You’ll learn:
• History, tradition, culture and applications
• Preparing the abdomen and herbs
• Safe practices and contraindications
• Step-by-step belly binding techniques
• Business integration and how to elevate your offerings
This training sets you apart.
You will walk away confident in your skill, rooted in cultural context and connected to a global community of practitioners.
Why this matters:
Traditional postpartum care holds profound wisdom — and our responsibility as doulas is to honor those who hold and protect this sacred knowledge, compensating and uplifting their work rather than using it without honoring its origins.
Why it matters NOW:
Families are hungry for deeper, more supportive postpartum care.
This training equips doulas to offer genuine, culturally grounded healing care that nourishes body, spirit and community.
