Saint Bella at K11 Artus Apartments – Luxury maternity and baby care

Saint Bella, established in 2017, is a relatively new brand on the scene that has quickly positioned itself as a provider of premium maternity and baby care services. It has partnered with K11 Artus Apartments to offer living spaces with stunning views of the Victoria Harbour. Admire modern architectural wonders on both sides of the harbour during the day, and breathe in the ambience along the bank at night. After a leisurely stroll along the harbour, you find yourself back in the comfort of your apartment. Immerse yourself in décor inspired by traditional Chinese porcelain art.

Are you feeling artistic? Saint Bella offers art therapy painting classes paired with sculpture appreciation commentary. Dance with the spirit of creativity while listening to a collection of classical music, carefully curated by the Wuhan Conservatory of Music, that is designed to stimulate postpartum recovery. Fancy a swim? Take a dip in the 25-metre infinity outdoor pool.

During your stay, you and your little one will receive specialised 24-hour care by a professional nurse, plus routine check-ups by senior obstetricians and health experts. Among the myriads of available services, you’ll also receive post-partum psychological counselling, as well as training on proper Kegal exercises.

Tin Yan at Kowloon Shangri-La or The Fullerton Ocean Park – Professional confinement nannies

Tin Yan has been around since 2006, and the majority of its professionals possess decades of experience. Founder Sarah Li is the president of the Hong Kong Family Service Development Association, as well as the author of her own series of post-partum diet cookbooks!

Instead of nurses, Tin Yan offers the services of Pui Yuets, professionally trained confinement nannies to attend to you and your baby. Aside from taking care of your little one, your confinement nanny will also offer breastfeeding guidance, as well as prepare Chinese medicinal water for your baths and showers. This is water combined with a traditional blend of ginger peels and other Chinese medicinal herbs that helps promote qi and blood circulation.

Compared to other service providers, Tin Yan offers more flexibility in their model. Choose between round the clock care, or 12-hour nanny night shifts if you prefer more privacy during the day.

Asaya at Rosewood Hong Kong – Postpartum care and well-being

If you’re considering a shorter stay, check out Asaya at Rosewood Hong Kong, where you can opt for a day treat, or stay at the Asaya Lodge for a night or two. The best thing about the Asaya Lodge Suites at Rosewood is the private treatment room attached to the suite. This means that instead of going elsewhere for treatment, your therapist comes to you!

One of the signature treatments at Asaya Wellness is the Well-Woman Treatment Series, which specifically targets postpartum care and well-being. The star of the show here is the Slimum® treatment provided in collaboration with Restoring Mums, which can involve treatment options such as abdominal masques using Jamu (natural herbal medicine originating from Indonesia), hot-stone massages with warming ginger massage oil, and abdominal binding treatment.

Abdominal binding has recently exploded in popularity in Hong Kong, but it roots date back to ancient cultural practices in Japan and Malaysia. It is now widely known for ensuring womb health after its postpartum strains, along with supporting the restoration of widened hips, waist size and expanded abdominal muscles back to its pre-pregnancy state.

The Spa at Four Seasons Hong Kong — Journey of Motherhood Program

Another marvellous option for a shorter getaway. The Spa at Four Seasons offers the Journey of Motherhood Program, the brainchild of senior spa director Dr Tania Bardhan, who is a qualified homeopathic and acupuncture practitioner with more than 20 years of industry experience. The programme is specifically tailored for new mothers, and aims to help restore the body back to its pre-pregnancy state using a holistic approach.

Start off with a yoga session led by an Ikigai practitioner who specialises in women’s yoga and post-partum care. Learn about exercises for strengthening the pelvic floor and gentle stretches for loosening up those stiff joints. Follow it up with a 45-minute cranial sacral therapy session. A form of alternate therapy where gentle touch is applied to the cranium with the aim of relieving stress and tension.

And then the eponymous Journey of Motherhood Ritual. The pièce de resistance. A three- hour grand finale treatment session that includes a back scrub for exfoliation, a post-partum oil massage for body regeneration, warm poultices to reduce bloating, a body wrap with nourishing cream for rehydration and a mini facial as the cherry on top. Guaranteed to make you feel refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the new challenges of motherhood!
