therapeutic birth + bodywork

Holistic Doula

I believe that when a woman feels respected, informed, and deeply connected in her birth journey, she emerges confidently into motherhood. Using bodywork and physiology as the framework of my care, you can come to birth feeling powerful, capable and attuned to your body, patiently allowing the birth process to unfold.

Trust birth

Prenatal Massage

Keep your growing body feeling aligned + comfortable through all the stages of pregnancy. Deep tissue massage is safely used to address common complaints like low back ache, rib pain, shortness of breath or headaches. Special attention is given to positioning, delicate trigger points, posture + movement patterns. Frequent sessions are recommended to stay relaxed, pain free + moving with ease as you approach your birth.

Postpartum Massage

A time for pampering, rest + recovery, postpartum treatments are designed to nurture you emotionally + aid your body’s healing process. Extra care is given to areas typically sore from birth or surgery, carrying + nursing a newborn. Abdominal work helps reduce scar tissue so the body can reorganize. Therapeutic breast massage can manage pain from engorgement + clogged ducts. Hot stones are used to promote circulation, reduce inflammation + promote deep relaxation.

Induction Massage

Facilitate labor by releasing the soft tissues connecting the uterus, back + pelvis, encouraging baby to move into optimal position for birth. Delicate trigger points are vigorously stimulated, essential oils are applied + cupping maybe used. Engage your baby + your breath, allowing the birth process to naturally unfold.
