Scheduling your prenatal care.
It is really helpful to think of my work as preventive care and labor preparation/support.
I am all about supporting your unique journey, needs and goals. But seeing me at certain milestones will help increase your comfort and birth goals.
So let’s talk about it.
My work is broken down into three phases:
Phase 1 changes your body, and the baby’s optimal position;
20 week
24 weeks
30 weeks
Phase 2 labor preparation:
34 weeks
36 weeks
37 weeks
Phase 3 Induction work:
38 weeks until delivery
Please know that you are welcomed to come in at any time but these are the important milestones to not miss.
The difference between labor preparation and induction work.
Labor preparation is making sure that the baby has enough space to get low and centered. The uterus is what gets baby out and into your arms. So if baby is facing the right way, low and centered this can greatly help with pushing times and recovery in postpartum. As well as lessening the chance of tearing.
With labor preparation we are focusing on making sure the parts of the pelvis that need to be loose and flexible are. Such as the femur head, sacrum and tailbone. All of these areas have to open and expand to support the pelvis opening like butterfly wings in your labor.
Induction work:
Is focused on working in very specific areas to get aid in helping labor start. I of course do all the support for helping you prepare for labor but also have a focus to help labor start.
I am here for any questions.
You are loved and supported.

This week at the positive pregnancy.
Amazing care I was invited into:
A sweet mama who is on a first time journey, and learning a new skill of overcoming anxiety. And she is doing amazing.
A mama whos baby is teaching her the power and strength of softness and the power of flexibility
A mama who is learning the power of grief and the wisdom that grief can teach us.
A mama who got her vbac.
A sweet doula who needs help getting ready for labor. (There is something magical about supporting another birth worker.)
Lesions I have learned from the babies:
Moods are like the wind. They come and go but you are always your grounding rock. No matter what is going on around you. You can find safety inside.
The value of touch.
Anything can resolve and anything can find its own balance.
Lesions I have learned as a human and massage therapist:
Things have been tricky with my family for a long time. Over the past few years we all have been doing a lot of self work and work on our relationship.
This journey has shown me that no matter what the past holds, the future can hold a new story.
