After a healthy and relatively problem free pregnancy, at the age of 41, I had an emergency c-section birth.  I was unprepared for my c-section recovery. I had planned to have a home birth with a midwife and was at home until it was clear I had to go to the hospital. When I got home, I quickly began wrapping an ace bandage around my abdomen to bind my stomach. I knew I needed abdominal bindingt after a surgery like a cesarean.  Using my 20+ years of massage, bodywork and healing education, I began an intuitive program of self care for my cesarean incision. Then just a few months later, I was caring for my dying mother who had undergone abdominal surgery.  From these life changing experiences, I learned first hand the scarcity of knowledge and tools to help in post cesarean and abdominal surgery care. The ideas for the AbdoMend™ healing products grew out of these experiences. Now it's my wish that every woman and abdominal surgery patient enjoy the benefits of the Abdomend™ binding belts and the Hemming Scar Therapy program.
