“A baby is born with a need to be loved – and never outgrows it.”
- Frank A. Clark, Author
Over the past decade, I have seen women enter the world of motherhood through a variety of doors. The journey may include a pregnancy planned with or without a partner, a surprise pregnancy followed by single motherhood, a long-awaited adoption or success through advancements in fertility. I believe that each woman deserves nurturing on this mysterious and sacred journey—and I have devoted my practice to supporting all the paths to motherhood. The intention of my practice is to meet up with each woman, wherever she is on this path, and empower her through touch, education, awareness, and trust in her feminine body and inherent wisdom.
I have had an active practice for more than 11 years and I invite you to read about my approach and philosophy.

Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage focuses on the special needs of a mother-to-be as she experiences the dramatic physical and emotional changes of each trimester. Massage aids in relieving neck and back pain due to improper posture and muscles imbalances. Touch also assists in circulation and reduces swelling and muscle cramps. This is precious time for women to rest, relax, draw their attention inward and connect to her divine feminine wisdom.
Labor 101
Labor 101 was born from my 6 year Doula practice. I am passionate about empowering women to trust their bodies and birth with confidence. We will discuss ways to access your inherent feminine wisdom during childbirth. Partners also have the opportunity to address their concerns and learn comfort measures to ease the discomfort of labor.
