Testimonials

After giving birth to my son, as expected, every inch of my body ached, and every move I made hurt. And I craved my mum to massage my body with hot water, particularly my stomach--but mama was about 24 hours away. I tried to do it by myself but to no avail. It was like I was inflicting more pain on myself. I kinda did ok with the sitz bath, though. So I took a leap of faith and texted one of my Naija sisters to come help me massage my body. She responded that she was coming with Joy (Edje). Na so sisterly start the massage, I whimpered 'ehen’, now we are talking I said in my head! And I was so grateful for this. After the massage and sitz bath, I felt a whole lot relieved and relaxed. She told and showed me exactly how to continue with both the sitz bath and the massage. Just that one time made a whole world of difference cause, honestly, I didn't do it by myself for long as I started returning to form. Thank you so much Joy!
