Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage and Therapy
I've been working with pregnant and postpartum women since I graduated from massage school in 1997. I became a doula and attended 11 births to better support and understand women during this amazing and physically challenging transition.
With specialized support cushions or a pregnancy massage table, I can help women relax while easing tension, releasing low back and hip muscles and soothing over worked feet. While receiving their treatment, women are encouraged to rest and if they'd like, feel free to talk about how they're feeling in this hormonally charged, emotional and transformative time. My goal is the holistic support of the whole woman.
After the birth, women need to be nurtured so they can nurture their little one. A good rest, a caring ear, and an understanding of the challenges of regaining one's body are the gentle offerings I like to provide women postpartum. During all phases of pregnancy and childbearing, I make sure that my clients have access to many resources and referrals. These include yoga classes, acupuncturists, naturopaths, midwives, OB-GYNs. My philosophy is that women should have personalized support that matches the unique beings that they are.
