“There is so much pressure for women to be supermums in the Western world, and this mindset and way of life is hugely detrimental to health and wellbeing. It is my intention and hope that through its offer of an extensive and holistic array of services, Elan House of Wellness becomes a facilitator of change for the mindset of the community, an opportunity for women to prioritise postpartum care, amidst a supportive environment that fosters preventative wellbeing for mother and child.”

Do yourself a favour and get this delicious warming tea! I think it’s been the magic ticket for my speedy recovery postpartum. Highly recommend!
I love this tea! I'm using it for preconception preparation, and I love the warming effects of the ingredients. A beautiful daily ritual.
I’m a tea drinker & love the sweetish flavour of this delicious date tea. It’s a great product because I didn’t have to source all the ingredients individually- some of which are hard to find. It also makes a large amount and tastes terrific hot or cold. Thoroughly recommend to new mums -especially if they’re not tea drinkers. You can feel it doing you good!
I love this red date tea! I’ve been drinking this throughout my first two weeks postpartum and I feel so much more rested, nourished and strong. It’s easy to make and tastes great. 100% recommend for a new mum.
The most comforting and deliciously sweet tea to enjoy anytime. My year round favourite for sure!

Frequently asked questions
What is Chinese confinement or 'sitting the month'?
Chinese confinement (坐月子 - zuò yuè zi) is an ancient postpartum practice where new mothers rest and recover for approximately a month after birth. During this time, mothers are supported with nourishing foods, traditional remedies, and community care to restore their body, bond with baby, and prevent long-term health issues.
When should I start using Elan House of Wellness' products?
Our products can be enjoyed during pregnancy and throughout your postpartum journey. Many mothers begin incorporating our nourishing snacks during the third trimester and continue through the traditional month-long confinement period and beyond.
What makes your products different from regular snacks or supplements?
Our products are specifically designed for the pregnancy and postpartum period, combining traditional Chinese medicine wisdom with modern nutritional science. We focus on warming, restorative ingredients that support healing, energy restoration, and hormonal balance.
Can partners or family members order these as gifts?
Absolutely! Many of our customers are partners, mothers, sisters, and friends wanting to support someone through their pregnancy or postpartum journey. We offer curated bundles that make thoughtful, practical gifts.
Gift wrapping service is also available at checkout.

Focusing on Postpartum recovery has been a priority for me after having Este 🤍
@elan.houseofwellness has been such a huge part in helping me Focus on nourishment and
rest during my second postpartum c-section recovery.
The 28 day Postpartum recovery package has been an amazing way to add in nourishing meals,
warm teas and finding time for myself in the little moments between feeds, changing nappies
and bubbas naps.

I just finished doing confinement for a second time and Elan’s 28 Day Postpartum Package has made the process so easy. We had a confinement nanny who did all the cooking for me, but you can definitely delegate the task to your partner or a friend. I feel like I recovered so much better this time around and I really credit this to prioritising rest and self care.
