Cheval Blanc Paris has introduced a thoughtfully conceived wellbeing programme for mothers and babies, designed to support women through the transformative months following birth.

Launched this month, "Haute Motherhood" debuts exclusively at the Dior Spa Cheval Blanc Paris, extending the house’s signature refinement into a phase of life that is often overlooked.

Conceived as a holistic journey rather than a one-off treatment, the programme accompanies mothers and their babies (from three months onwards) through a carefully curated sequence of therapies.
Blending expert hands-on techniques with next-generation spa technologies, the experience addresses both physical recovery and emotional recalibration during a period defined by profound change.

At its core, Haute Motherhood is centred on the female body – not to “correct” it, but to honour and support it. Developed in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of wellbeing practitioners, the programme promotes sensory, physical and emotional balance, encouraging mothers to reconnect with themselves at their own pace.

Treatments range from gentle Pilates Flow and Reiki-infused hypopressive breathing to help women ease back into bodily awareness, to the Restorative Flow postnatal massage, created specifically to accompany this life transition and evoke a sensation of lightness and release. A four-handed Rebozo ritual symbolically closes the chapter of pregnancy, aiming to realign energy and restore the body after birth.

Aesthetic-focused treatments include the New Look body sculpting ritual and the signature Micro-Abrasion Dior Spa Cheval Blanc facial, designed to revitalise skin and enhance radiance.The programme also recognises the importance of early bonding. Mothers are invited to take part in a parent–child massage learning workshop, offering a quiet, tactile language through which to connect with their baby.

Anne-Louise Pothier, global director of hospitality and wellness at Dior Beauty, explains: “We have chosen to invest in the Haute Motherhood programme because we believe that the wellbeing of new mothers deserves the same attention and refinement as every other stage of life. The post-partum period is marked by profound physical and emotional changes, which are often underestimated or surrounded by taboos. Through this programme, we aim to provide holistic support combining expertise, attentive listening and bespoke treatments, to help each mother regain balance, vitality and self-confidence.”

Fully customisable, the programme can be adapted to individual needs, with the number and rhythm of appointments evolving over time.

• Baby massage (45 minutes)

• Postnatal massage (1 hour 30 minutes)

• Four-handed Rebozo ritual (2 hours)
