If youโ€™re a massage therapist who feels called to care for women during pregnancy and postpartum, weโ€™d love to connect with you.

Our work is rooted in slowing down, honouring the body, and supporting women through some of lifeโ€™s most tender transitions. Weโ€™re seeking someone who shares that same love for gentle, intentional care.
โค Hours are flexible and can be shaped around you.
โค Experience with pregnancy/postpartum massage is ideal but not essential โ€” heart, compassion, and a genuine desire to support women matter most.

If this feels like you, weโ€™d love to hear from you. Please reach out with a little about yourself and what draws you to this kind of work ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ“ฉ How to apply:
Send an email to thebarenest@gmail.com or message us here on Instagram with:
โ€“ A short introduction about yourself
โ€“ Your experience (if any) in massage or womenโ€™s wellness
โ€“ What draws you to supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum

We canโ€™t wait to welcome the right heart into our space.

Ever wondered about the difference between a midwife and a doula? Letโ€™s gently explore the roles they play ๐Ÿคโœจ

๐“œ๐“ฒ๐“ญ๐”€๐“ฒ๐“ฟ๐“ฎ๐“ผ are qualified healthcare professionals who provide clinical care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early days postpartum. They offer medical support like prenatal check-ups, monitoring the wellbeing of both mother and baby, and guiding you through the physical aspects of labour and birth. Many midwives also bring a deeply holistic approachโ€”supporting not only your health, but also your emotional wellbeing.

๐““๐“ธ๐“พ๐“ต๐“ช๐“ผ on the other hand, are non-medical support people who walk alongside you with continuous emotional, physical, and informational care. Whether itโ€™s helping you feel more confident, offering comfort measures in labour, or simply being a steady, calming presenceโ€”doulas are there to hold space for YOU! They support your choices and help you feel grounded and nurtured during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Midwives and doulas often work beautifully togetherโ€”each bringing their own strengths to support your experience in a complete and compassionate way.

That first moment your baby is placed on your chest โ€” warm, raw, and sacred โ€” is so much more than just a photo opportunity.

Skin-to-skin contact supports your babyโ€™s transition earthside in the gentlest way possible. It regulates their breathing, heart rate, and temperature, encourages breastfeeding, reduces stress, and strengthens the bond between you both.

And itโ€™s not just for mums. Partners and support people can offer skin-to-skin too โ€” creating powerful connection and calming babyโ€™s nervous system.

Itโ€™s simple, instinctive, and deeply transformative. Donโ€™t be afraid to ask for those early moments to be protected, unrushed, and uninterrupted.
