Celebrating five years of Momager with ‘Giving Her Back Her Pink’

• Heralds strategic partnership with Adhitya Ayurveda Colombo to revolutionise healing traditions 

Momager, Sri Lanka’s first dedicated postpartum wellness service for mothers, celebrates five transformative years of revolutionising postpartum care through traditional benkung binding techniques and holistic recovery approaches. 

Founded in 2020 by Sarah Illyas, a mother of four who discovered the remarkable benefits of benkung binding after the birth of her first child, Momager has since contributed to and changed maternal recovery care in Sri Lanka.

Specialising in benkung binding, a centuries-old practice that promotes postpartum physical recovery, Momager also focuses on addressing the emotional and mental wellbeing of new mothers. Having supported over 3,000 mothers across Sri Lanka, with more than 300 women experiencing the remarkable benefits of benkung binding, Momager now celebrates its five-year milestone.

Momager Founder Sarah Illyas said: “When I experienced benkung binding, I immediately recognised its transformative benefits and wanted to bring this ancient wisdom to Sri Lankan mothers who deserved specialised care during recovery. Celebrating five years is an incredibly proud moment for us, and our Momager retreat brought together mothers to celebrate mothers.”

“As a mother myself, I wanted to support women like me during this critical time. ‘While you take care of everything else, let us take care of you’ is something we truly believe in. We are also proud to partner with brands such as Adhitya Ayurveda Colombo that will further support mothers and enrich our vision,” Illyas added.

The event celebrating five years brought together 100 mothers to ‘Give Her Back Her Pink.’ The celebration also announced Momager’s partnership with wellness provider Adhitya Ayurveda Colombo, creating an unprecedented fusion of healing traditions for new mothers. The collaboration further represents a significant evolution in Momager’s services, combining traditional binding techniques with authentic Ayurvedic practices.

Adhitya Ayurveda Director Yasas Gunawardhana said: “Partnering with Momager marks a meaningful milestone for Adhitya Ayurveda Colombo, as we believe that when a mother heals, she nurtures the healing of an entire community. This partnership is a significant milestone for mothers in Sri Lanka to promote their wellbeing post-delivery.”

Momager’s comprehensive services now include specialised postpartum recovery packages, with the popular postnatal massage service now available to all women, along with a newly launched prenatal program. During the anniversary event, Momager also unveiled its unique new wellness products, a luxurious golden oil for hair and body care specially formulated for new mothers. Formulated with intensive R&D, this launch marks a milestone in Momager’s journey. 

Looking ahead, Momager plans to expand its reach while continuing to innovate in maternal wellness services, introducing new initiatives specifically designed to support mothers through every stage of their journey. The company remains committed to its founding vision of being Sri Lanka’s trusted leader in mother-centred healing care, ensuring that no mother faces the challenges of recovery alone.
