🌿 Heart & Womb Birth Bodywork 🌿

This is not a typical prenatal massage. Heart & Womb Birth Bodywork is intentional, therapeutic care designed to support your changing body and your baby by restoring balance, easing discomfort, and preparing you for labor with more ease.

Each session is tailored to what your body needs right now and may support relief from SI joint pain, lower back tension, growing pains, heartburn, anxiety, and postnatal challenges. The focus is on the belly, the pelvis, and the heart–womb connection so your whole body can soften, align, and breathe.

“I felt deeply supported, aware of my baby’s positioning, and truly relaxed.” — Tara S.

If your body is asking for skilled, thoughtful prenatal bodywork that goes beyond relaxation, this work is for you.

🌿 Postpartum Care That Holds You While You Heal 🌿

The weeks after birth are tender, intense, and deeply transformative. You are not meant to do them alone. As your postpartum doula, I offer steady, in-home support to help you rest, recover, and bond with your baby during the first 6–8 weeks.

I support families with newborn care, feeding guidance, nourishing meals, baby laundry, emotional support, and practical help so you can shower, sleep, and breathe again. I also support partners, helping everyone find their footing during this transition.

“Ronit was truly a lifesaver… I always felt more capable and hopeful after our time together.” — Lily V., Oakland

This season deserves care, patience, and a village. I would be honored to be part of yours.

🌿 Spinning Babies® Support for a More Easeful Birth 🌿

Birth is physical. How your body moves, balances, and creates space matters.

Spinning Babies® focuses on helping your baby find an optimal position by supporting your body first. Through gentle bodywork, movement, breath, and hands-on techniques, we work with your pelvis, hips, and soft tissue to create more comfort and flow in pregnancy and labor.

This work is especially supportive for breech babies, long or uncomfortable pregnancies, and anyone wanting to feel more connected and prepared in their body.

If you want practical, body-based preparation that supports both you and your baby, I’d love to work with you.

Birth is deeply personal. Choosing who supports you in that space matters.

My work as a birth doula is rooted in the body. Decades of hands-on bodywork inform how I support labor with touch, positioning, and presence that helps you drop out of your head and back into your body.

I bring knowledge, intuition, and steady care into the birth room, meeting each family where they are and supporting the kind of birth experience that feels right for them.

If you’re looking for embodied, thoughtful, hands-on support for your birth, I’d love to connect.
