Why I Do This Work
After my son Lachlan was born, a confinement aunty named Hana taught me what it means to truly rest.
My labour lasted 36 hours and ended in a vacuum extraction. What followed was back pain, aching joints, and a body I didn't recognise. Four weeks of daily Jamu treatment from Hana in Singapore changed all of that, and changed the direction of my life.

Jackie's Story
From South Africa, to Singapore, to here.
I left South Africa in 1992, aged twenty-one, to work as an Au Pair in America, then spent two years travelling before life carried me further still. Years later, after the birth of my son Lachlan, I found Hana in Singapore, a confinement aunty. Four weeks of daily Jamu treatment eased my back pain, softened the ache in my joints, and closed the gap in my abdominal muscles from three fingers to one. It was more than a recovery: it was the beginning of everything I do now.
I trained as a Jamu practitioner, then as an infant massage instructor with pediatric qualifications, so I could hold both the mother and the baby with the same care I was given.
