A Done For You Padsicle: Julie Dhingra and The Ma Mask | 95

I'm here to help you take the guesswork out of childbirth so you can make the choices that are right for you and your baby. Quick note, this podcast is for educational purposes only and does not replace your medical advice. Check out our full disclaimer at the bottom. of the show notes. 


You're welcome. So tell everyone just a little bit about you and then we'll start talking about your journey, but maybe tell everyone who you are, how many babies you have, because of course this is the birth experience. 


Julie: So yeah, my name is Julie and I am a proud mama of two kids, an eight year old and a four year old, almost a nine year old and a four year old. 


Trish: products too. 


Tried 


Trish: So okay, we're going to rewind a little bit. So what she's talking about when she says intimate is she means for our girl parts, our special lady bits. And Lord knows we need extra stuff for that. Because they go, they take a beating. 


Julie: Yeah it's a pretty traumatic event. I was very surprised after going through my first pregnancy with my first baby that sent home with an ice pack and told to make some things in the freezer and stick them next to my chicken nuggets and think that was gonna help. be enough to handle the whole situation, which I didn't think was enough and thought was pretty inadequate. 


Trish: That In itself. So you guys, I have an unfair advantage because for some of you guys know that I am mentoring and coaching female business owners and Julie reached out to me through labor nurse mama about her mom mask, which is for your lady bits. And my team and I we met to talk about this product because I don't. 


Just willy nilly. I don't care how much people offer me. We do charge, obviously, but if it's not in alignment with my core beliefs and what I want for you guys, because what I want for you guys is a much different experience than a lot of us have had to have, whether it's birth or postpartum or motherhood or whatever relationships. 


Julie: For sure. And I want to mention that When I talk about the products in Ayurveda and spirituality obviously comes into it, but it's a more energetic level, it's not based on any religion that when I talk about in all the products and everything that are involved, involve Ayurveda from a perspective of using plants as medicine, using the earth as medicine, and energetic Thank you. 


foRces that are around us that we are made of vibrational beings that, and the Earth vibrates. 


It really is outrageous and I love what you're saying because one of the things that I've become so passionate about is rhythm and when you're in labor, when you're Comforting your child when you're stressed, whatever we have a rhythm inside of us that we find that calms us and soothes us and helps us achieve escape from labor pain and all of that is just totally in alignment with what you're saying like to think that our planet doesn't have readily available what we need. 


Julie: It's a combination. You use all the things and all the tools you have. And this is just utilizing more tools in your toolbox to try to. 


It's 100 percent plant based coconut ferment, but it's a material that didn't exist before. So now we've incorporated that baseline. And infused it with things that are nature based help, helping your mind and your cleansing. And the reason we call it sacral garden is because it's your sacral chakra, which is one of your chakras that help. 


Trish: I, I love it too. 


Julie: Getting pregnant with my first child was a little easier than my second baby. I had gone through several miscarriages in between my first and second child and that was pretty traumatizing for me and I had to find ways to I still wanted to have my second child. So I needed to find ways and wanted to find ways to try to rebalance myself so that I could be ready again to try again and. 


on manifesting and meditating and sitting and calming and cleansing and getting ready for pregnancy again. And that's where this kind of was born from. After I was ready to try again, I thought there needs to be something out there that helps. cleanse and get someone feeling better to try again and incorporate things like energetic tools as well. 


And that is where a lot of this came from. It came from me wanting to create more things and products on a holistic level. For women out there to have as options that go beyond just putting something on your body and having making sure that they were natural. That was a major factor for me. I didn't want it to be a contributing factor that whatever I was putting on my body was something that. 


Trish: others. 


I bet there's not many people that go through that program that are getting their diploma. To do skin care on the vagina. 


Julie: No, it's a more of an a niche area because it's there is obviously some cosmetic type products out there that deal with, on a cosmetic level, of making things maybe look better or things like that, but this was not that, and I wanted to be, I wanted it to be very clear that's what that, not the purpose. 


It's a tested ingredient that's been used for For helping and healing and recovery. 


Trish: So tell me about the ma mask like What are the suggested uses? How do you use it? Do you put it in the freezer? Do you put it in the fridge? Can you throw it in your diaper bag? Tell me about them I 


Julie: suggest that it should be in the, your bag when you go home, before you go home for, as a, how you would use a padsicle. 


Our masks is labeled as masks for intimate care because it's multi purpose, but it's a padsicle essentially, and you can freeze them, absolutely you can cool them, refrigerate them in the fridge before that, and they're very cooling whether you put them in or not, and if you use them, and I have my own experience. 


So that's why I designed it to fit on a pad so you can use it On a pad and still walk around and nurse if you need to nurse or do whatever you need to do but and still get some recovery at the same time or you can just sit and use it for some me time and sit and put the mask on and wait 15 minutes Take it off. 


You don't even need to The suggestion is not, you don't need to take the serum off. It's 88 percent rose water. There's all safe ingredients. It's not soapy or anything that's residue or anything that's left behind. So the serum is good for your skin to leave in. And if you feel like it's too much, you can cleanse it or wash it off after as 


Trish: well. 


Julie: yeah, you can lay it on top of the pads that they give you from the hospital. Sometimes they give you the pads that you can stick the ice cubes in and you can stick it on top of that pad as well. 


Trish: Okay and if you do it like I teach them to use an infant diaper, you could just lay it on the infant diaper, put some ice in the diaper and be on your merry way. 


Let me ask you, is it safe to use if they have a repair, if they have stitches? So 


Julie: I suggest to use it with the doctor's recommendation always, but on open wounds for sure you want to make sure you check with your health care providers before you put anything on an open wound just to make sure that there's no infections or anything like that you're dealing with. 


But for stitches, like I said, the material is right now used for burn victims in hospital. That's what it's used for. So it's used for burns. in the hospital commonly, but on open wounds, you want to check with 


Trish: your doctor first. Do you think it would also help with 


Julie: hemorrhoids? Yes, it's got witch hazel, it's got rose water. 


Trish: need them down there. And about how long do they wear it? Is it, and then take 


Julie: it off? 10 to 15 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All the serum should be soaked in by them and the co op, the cooling and soothing factors and everything should be getting in there at that point. 


And yeah, you're getting the effects that will happen slowly after. 


Trish: Is it harmful if she falls asleep or forgets or it's on top of her pad or anything? No. Okay. That's because you know how that goes when you've just had a baby. Like I might not trust myself to wait 15 minutes and take it off. So tell me about the oils that are coming. 


So 


So that's for that area. The oil is a multi benefit oil that we created so that it has orchid oil in it. So it's actually soothing softening for the hairs down there as well. And the skin it has saffron, which is antibacterial and a great. Hugely powerful ingredient used in Ayurveda for speeding up this recovery process. 


Okay, 


Trish: so it's perfect for mamas doing perineal massage prior to delivery. So it's safe to go inside a little bit. Okay. Yeah. 


Julie: Yeah. The oils are all, they're all, there's no preserve. They're the only thing that preservating is the vitamin E, which is an oil, the tarfoil, which is completely safe. It's a hundred. 


There's only six ingredients that are all a hundred percent safe to go in and around. Okay. 


Trish: And so for you guys who are pregnant and preparing, this is a great alternative to using coconut oil or something to that effect. It's got a lot more soothing and products that will benefit you. So I love that. 


So much, Julie. It's awesome. So tell me about some of your other products that you have coming or that you're working on. So 


And we have our essential oil blend. That is to help rebalance either before or pre rebalance or rebalance afterwards for post pregnancy care to rebalance the chakras. It's a signature blend that's specifically for your 


Trish: sacral. So with the the rose quartz, is that what you said? With that tool, would you use, so I, I highly recommend you guys do scar massage. 


You do need to wait until it's completely healed, but how would you recommend that? Do they use an oil with that tool as well, or just the tool? Yes, 


Trish: scar tissue To be official. 


Okay. Oh, I yeah that I so I love it when I have Moms who start businesses because there's just so much passion about what you're doing and why you're doing it and the impact that you're making. And I just love the holistic approach that you have, and I love these products. Unfortunately, it's like all these pregnancy products, all these different things. 


But when it comes to baby comes out and then it's she gets dropped. Mom's gone. No big deal. Yeah. 


Julie: Yeah. What about me and moms do it too. Moms forget about themselves. I watch them as we go to the baby show and we're like, they're buying all these things for their babies and everything, but they have completely forgotten about themselves. 


Trish: there's just something so luxurious about the mask, too, to make you feel like, I don't know, like the smell and the combination and it's like when we do a mask on our face or do like special care on our face, like it just makes you feel good. 


Julie: That was the whole point because I wanted it to be a treatment with the oil, the mask and the mist all because we have the perineal mist as well that's coming in the next few weeks here. And all three together is supposed to be, whether pre pregnancy or post pregnancy care, to make you feel like you've gotten this treatment, like a facial. 


Happy mom, happy home. 


Trish: fOr those of you guys listening, probably by the time this airs, the mist will be available. And we've got a discount, so if you want to tell them about 


Julie: that. Yes. So our we have a code for our website for LNM. 15 to get 15 percent off our products on our website using this for a labor nurse mama. 


So 


Whereas with your homemade padsicles, you really can't take one to the hospital with you and these are great that you could use one once you get to postpartum. I'd wait till you get to postpartum, you get your first shower, get ready and then it's just going to make you feel so good and like you're doing something.
