Seasons of Mama’s Secret Weapons for labour and birth!

Plastic free, biodegradable and completely eco friendly

This divine duo helping Mamas to drop into labour land. A reflexology comb to activate pressure points within the palm, reducing the “pain signals” from her contractions reaching her brain AND a pink clay konjac sponge to help relax her facial muscles. As we know for birth, a relaxed jaw is a relaxed pelvic floor and this little eco sponge brings with it heavenly mini facial vibes, to do exactly that.

The Back Story

(Including how I discovered these as an amazing little labour and birth aid)

On a path to living a low tox life, I purchased one of these pink clay konjac sponges to try. Impressed by the fact it is 100% biodegradable, made from Japanese konjac potato fibres and mineral rich pink clay (with amazing skin benefits -increasing blood flow and assisting with cell renewal). It was love at first try as it felt like a mini facial. It quickly became one of my favourite skin care rituals and I remember one night thinking to myself “how amazing would this be for Loz in labour”.

So who is Loz?

Loz is my sister and soulie! Rather than act as her Midwife for her second birth (due to insurances etc) I said I would act as her Doula, supporting her and my brother in law. She had a dreamy home birth and when she was labouring away in the birthing pool, I used the soft sponge to gently massage her face between contractions. I watched as her shoulders visibility lowered, her facial expressions just melt and she relaxed more deeply into labour. She had an incredibly empowering birth - the most beautiful birth I have ever witnessed and we welcomed another little boy into our family, baby Rayen, Feb 2020. She said to me that say that it was one of her fave things and made for a beautiful distraction too.

And not only that! Perfect for postpartum as a self care ritual too! Just pop it in the compost when it starts to break down. A win for you and the environment!

As we love multi purpose products, our reflexology comb can of course also be used later as a regular hair comb.
