Birth Work
At your feet!
You are fully capable of what's coming, that's no question. Still, this radical and transformative stage of life could be everything from exhilarating to terrifying, all at the same time.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a safe and supportive space to feel more and more confident in yourself, and your ability to be the parent your child needs? This is my specialty! Imagine yourself being pampered with a massage every time we meet, and undivided attention, going as deep as you'd like in topics about pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and motherhood:
-
Educating yourself on the physiological and emotional stages of birth and postpartum, knowing what to expect and how to prepare for it.
-
Exploring all options for the important decisions you are making for you, your baby, and your family.
-
Learning all about nervous system health, while lowering your risk for anxiety, depression, and trauma.
-
Playing with movement and awareness practices that help prime your body and mind during this crucial stage of life, and throughout motherhood.
All this and more, to strengthen your ability to adapt and respond to the ever-changing circumstances of motherhood, growing deeper in love with your baby, and the new you.
I see you in your power!
Following your lead and intuition, I will be ever-present, massaging you, breathing with you, being in silence or roaring with you, advocating for your safety and wishes for birth, and applying hands-on comfort measures to increase your confidence and strength.
Prior to your birth, I'll introduce movement, sounds, and awareness practices designed to help you be more attuned to your body in a productive way, creating constructive relationships with your sensations, emotions, and thoughts. Supporting you into processing stress as it comes in, as well as preventing and resolving symptoms of anxiety, and depression, which are at risk after having a baby, and could get in the way of manifesting the birth and postpartum experience of your dreams.
Supporting you at your birth means full attendance at your birth, on-call care throughout your entire pregnancy, and up to two postpartum visits, to increase the likelihood of a positive and powerful experience.

I welcome all parts of you, and see you as a heroine!
Whether you need someone to hold your baby while you take a shower, or looking to renegotiate a birth that needs healing, or process aspects of yourself that are too strong to ignore, I got your back.
As a somatic practitioner, I support you by suggesting movement and awareness practices that boost your way into feeling at home in your new body and mind. This can also help keep stress from becoming toxic, giving you an opportunity to address anxiety, depression, and past trauma from the root. All while building a solid nervous system foundation in you and your child. Supporting your ability to attend to whatever life brings, in the way that is needed, and expanding your capacity to infuse pleasure and joy in every aspect of this new life.
Varying on the age of your baby, we'll address the ways in which you can support their healthy development, and most importantly, strengthen your motherly intuition so you feel confident in deciding what is best for you and your family.
