I started Koselig Wellness as a passion project rooted in a desire to provide loving support for postpartum women. I myself had a difficult and traumatic postpartum and now that I’m mostly through the darkness I have reflected back and thought of things that I would’ve benefited from had they been available. One of those things sounds so simple - gentle, safe, non-intimate touch - however it just didn’t exist. Enter Koselig Wellness.

Koselig {koosh-lee} is a Norwegian word meaning the ultimate coziness and comfort provided by a person, place and/or atmosphere. Having Norwegian grandparents I can’t imagine a more perfect word to express my offerings.

The word ‘kowy’ is a made up word that my grandmother used and passed down that simply means “gentle touch”. I loved it as a child and love it to this day. The other thing I loved as a child was having my hair brushed and played with. Currently no one in the city (and only one other in Canada) offers hair brushing and I think it’s such a beautiful offering and I hope more join in.

Beyond kowy and hair brushing I also offer facial and buccal massage. As humans we often carry so much stress and tension in our faces and jaws. Facial and intraoral buccal massage is the perfect solution to releasing it all. Another benefit of this type of massage is that it is often referred to as the “ultimate natural facelift alternative". After just one treatment you will see the reduction of puffiness, brightening of dark circles and overall lift and sculpting of the face.

Even though my “why” is to provide caring service to postpartum women all women as well as femme and non-binary persons are welcome. Also I truly believe that like other trauma there is no time-stamp on postpartum trauma. Koselig is a safe space to relax and release. I also always book extra time for a tea and chat should you desire.

This service is currently provided out of my home and therefore at this time I am not accepting cis male clients but I can refer you to a wonderful space that does.
