How Much Did Your Urut Lady Charge You?

I did not engage a Malay Urut Lady (masseurs) after I delivered Alycia 4 years ago. I had a bad case of ‘yup foong‘ (literally means wind has entered your body in Chinese, which will cause a host of pains in the body).  I suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Bronchitis for several months. 

After I delivered Sherilyn, I told myself I must get an urut lady to expel the wind from my body. I did hire one and I really enjoyed the massage and tungku (hot stone on belly) sessions. The urut lady charge me RM50 per session of around 1 hour. I didn’t experience any problems with my health after Sher’s birth. Maybe it was pure coincidence or the massage really did wonders.

I am now planning to engage an urut lady to massage me again during my confinement.  Montessorimum gave me a contact of her former urut lady. She is charging RM500 for a 6-day package. This EXCLUDES RM150 for the ubat-ubat (traditional Malay medicine) and RM60 for transportation for 6 days. I am to deposit 60% of RM500 into the urut lady’s bank account to book her. She sounded like she’s very popular and has many clients.

Did you have an urut lady after the birth of your child? How much were you charged? Hiring a urut lady really ain’t cheap eh?

  1. I had the massage after both pregnancy but don’t really know if it was effective but the massage was good. I didn’t know they charge the herbs & transportation separately in Malaysia. It seems expensive… I am comparing to the price that was almost 5 yrs ago :p and not sure of the price now and my price is in S’pore dollars. Hehehe…

  2. i didnt have any urut lady..my hubby was the urut man. I bought a “barut”..a sarung cloth wrapped with Mustika Ratu traditional herbs..to warm my tummy area as I tied it around my abdomen and waist. It supposed to support the tummy and keep the angin away. RM 30 only..got it at SuperKinta market one of the Malay stall.

  3. mine was 700 for 10 visits. Semua included, she drive to my house, the ubats, slimming cream, manjakani pills, plus she gave me a bengkung. But no tunku like yrs…just massage with slimming cream.

  4. VERY expensive leh…mine only RM15 then, now RM20 an hour only 3 times. I can have more but 3x is sufficient to buang angin. The oil for urut, just RM5 a bottle, no tunku lar…and she ride bike to my house and to everywhere too. 😉

  5. hi,can you laddies past me the contact number of the urut lady ,i nd it urgent coz my due date is 1 week away n the urut lady i hired b4 this cant make it .
    thanks

  6. Hi I am looking for confinement Nanny for the whole month who can cook and urut. I will reimburse your flight to USA and pay US$1000. The confinement in USA is quite hard to get. So it’s much easier to hire someone from Malaysia or Singapore I think. Month of July 2009. Of course food and lodging provided.
