Prenatal Bodywork
Birth Consulting Pregnancy Loss
Nourish your body mind & spirit through your maternal journey
Prenatal bodywork:
Sessions recommended starting at 12 weeks' gestation. My technique combines targeted body work where you need it, nourishing touch, gentle stretching and Craniosacral therapy which allows you to deeply relax & let go.
Prenatal bodywork is essential to support your changing body, encourage better sleep, alleviate many common discomforts through each trimester, reduce anxiety and prepare your body for an optimal birth outcome. I am happy to support you prior to 12 weeks with your care providers approval.
Positioning:
For your comfort, I use side lying positioning support system designed for your prenatal massage. This allows for proper hip and spine alignment as well as greater comfort for deeper bodywork. You may also be comfortably reclined while being whisked away to more relaxation.
For a more therapeutic experience, you may customize your session by selecting "Prenatal Bodywork plus enhancement" when booking then add your choice of enhancement. For more than 2 enhancements please select 120 min session.
I am happy to include a sleep positioning/bolstering recommendation with your bodywork session. To ensure there is time for this it is best to schedule a complimentary consultation with your session.
Prenatal Energy Work & Nervous System Balancing:
I offer Reiki, Siwa Murti healing, Craniosacral Therapy & tuning forks to address energetic imbalances, nervous system misalignment, reduce anxiety, support better sleep, calm & ground you.
Labor Stimulation:
After 38 weeks' gestation, try my Labor Ready Massage that is ideal for those who desire to stimulate your natural labor process. This session is recommended for those who have gone past their due date or who have had inconsistent labor patterns. My labor ready massage is both relaxing, energizing & grounding to support an optimal birth experience.
This session will not address more chronic muscular issues or significant issues as focus is on acupressure points throughout the body and relaxation. You may add labor acupressure points to any prenatal session if you are needing more specific bodywork.
Most report going into active labor within 6-24 hours after this massage, results may vary, additional sessions may be necessary. I welcome your feedback if you have had this session.
Pregnancy Loss
Massage therapy & energy healing can help you through this difficult time. As you move through the physical, mental and emotional part of this process, self-care is a significant to support your recovery.
With your care providers consent, my pregnancy loss session is helpful during miscarriage to support a natural passing process and support you through this transition. I am honored to hold space for you during this difficult time.
Birth Consulting
As a full Spectrum Doula, I offer a personalized approach to support your pregnancy and prepare for your postpartum recovery. My Birth consulting sessions are ideal for those desiring all the benefits of birth support except for being present for the actual birth.
You may book sessions by the hour or as a package to support your entire pregnancy. My birth consulting supports you where you are in your pregnancy and is for those not desiring a doula through labor & birth. We will discuss tips and tricks to encourage a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy, labor, review policies/procedures and risks of your birthing choice. We will practice comfort measures specific to support you in labor with your birthing partner. I will assist you to plan for your postpartum recovery and provide answers to questions you may have.

Want to support your prenatal wellness through 3rd trimester? My series options make scheduling a regular session more affordable. Regular massage during prenatal is preventative, supports your changing body through each trimester and prepares you for an optimal birth! You can even share your series with your spouse or partner and use any sessions left for postnatal bodywork.
In the event of the onset of labor, please do notify me if you wish to cancel. I will apply your prepayment amount to your future postnatal session. Refunds are provided upon request due to onset of labor.
