YUN Wellness, Hong Kong: Where Mothers Are Held After Birth
Becoming a mother is a rebirth of its own. In the flurry of feedings, sleepless nights, and shifting identities, it is easy to forget yourself. That is why I chose to shape my own maternity period for both of my labours, planning my self-care moments. It is so important to take care of yourself during this period, and also to let people take care of you. Do not forget yourself. Self-care also means allowing others to help you.

That is why discovering YUN Wellness in the heart of Hong Kong feels like a revelation. Located inside the serene Island Shangri-La, this wellness sanctuary offers something rare and deeply needed: a space where new mothers can restore, realign, and reconnect with themselves.
As an experience-centred mama myself, I was especially drawn to how YUN’s postpartum care blends Eastern healing traditions with modern therapeutic practices. Their offerings go beyond pampering. They are purposeful, intentional, and deeply nurturing.
Here is what stood out most:
- Postpartum Belly Binding
In collaboration with Restoring Mums, YUN offers a signature belly-binding treatment. Using herbal compresses and traditional methods, this supports abdominal recovery, posture correction, and emotional balance. Not about “snapping back,” but about healing fully. - Postpartum Massage
Gentle, warm, and grounding. This massage eases physical tension and mental overload. It is a must-have for any new mom navigating the whirlwind of hormones and responsibility. - Holistic Recovery Experience
With abdominal herbal masks, lymphatic massage, and hot stone therapy, this ritual helps mamas slow down and be held. A true moment of pause. - Lactation Consultation
Led by expert Michelle Lok, this session supports breastfeeding challenges with compassion and clarity, something many new moms deeply need. - Osteopathy for Mama & Baby
Whether your baby has reflux, digestive issues, or tension from birth, this gentle therapy offers healing for both. A rare gem of postpartum care.
As my longtime readers know, I am a firm believer in preparing for the postpartum phase just as seriously as the birth itself. During my own journey, I planned my recovery with intention. When pelvic pain started late in pregnancy, I immediately sought pelvic therapy, continuing it afterward to ensure my uterus returned to its proper position. I also saw a chiropractor for six weeks after experiencing back contractions during my second labour.

Looking back now, seeing YUN Wellness makes me think: wow, I wish this had existed near me. If I had been in Hong Kong, it would have been a no-brainer. The full spectrum of care—physical, emotional, and holistic—under one roof? It is everything I needed. Especially the osteopathic care for newborns, because many babies deal with things like reflux or allergies. And the lactation support—honestly, even with prior experience, it is so important to start strong and feel supported.
Because when the mother is held, the baby is too.
