Birth takes so muscle and I am a massage therapist.

I am an active doula in the birth room. I take 1-2 clients per month. My goals are to keep you and your family as comfortable and as informed as possible. I want all of your physical and emotional needs met.I want to teach your birth partner to be me and learn all my moves to help their partner. I want you to know all of your options at every turn. I have experience with all the facets of birth including transfers of care, high risk pregnancies, rainbow babies, inductions, gestational diabetes, hypertension, planned and unplanned c-sections, v-bacs and malpositioned babies and losses.
