Therapeutic Prenatal Massage
Our Therapeutic Prenatal Massage is designed to support the body through the many physical changes of pregnancy. This session helps relieve muscle cramps, reduce swelling, and ease discomfort in areas like the lower back, hips, and feet. By improving circulation and lymphatic flow, it can reduce fatigue and promote a sense of lightness in the body. It also supports hormonal balance by lowering cortisol levels, helping to create space for deep rest and emotional ease. Beyond physical relief, this massage offers time to slow down, reconnect with your body, and make space for both you and your baby to settle and grow in comfort.

Full Body Balancing Massage
Pregnancy brings profound physical shifts, and while some discomfort is expected, ongoing pain often signals an underlying imbalance. The Full Body Balancing Massage is a two-hour session designed to address these imbalances with focused care and intention. Unlike a standard prenatal massage that centers on relaxation, this offering includes 30 minutes of guided movement and targeted muscle release, followed by hands-on bodywork that helps create space and ease in the pregnant body. This session supports alignment of the pelvis, softening of the surrounding tissues, and nervous system regulation—all essential for reducing discomfort and preparing the body for a smoother, more balanced labor. By restoring function and flow, Full Body Balancing Massage can help alleviate tension, support fetal positioning, and bring comfort back into the body during a time of deep transformation.

Labor Preparation Massage
This 90-minute session is offered for those who are 38 weeks and beyond, designed to support your transition into labor—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Rather than focusing on stimulation, this massage invites openness and release, helping the body soften and settle into readiness for birth. The session begins with focused work on the feet, hands, and head to calm the nervous system and encourage deep relaxation. A gentle belly massage follows, supporting uterine tone and connection with your baby. The session closes with sacral release to help ground the body and encourage a sense of alignment and ease. This massage is not intended to induce labor, but to support the body’s natural unfolding by offering space to rest, release tension, and emotionally prepare for the journey ahead. Must be at least 38 weeks to book.
Duration: 90 Minutes Cost: $ 130.00
PLEASE NOTE: This massage is only offer for those 38 weeks and beyond. This is not an induction massage.
Breech Release & Body Balancing
For those with a baby in breech or "non-optimal position" As a certified Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner and practicing home birth midwife, I offer this in-depth session to support individuals whose baby is in a breech or other non-head-down position. This 2.5 to 3-hour session combines education, guided movement, and hands-on bodywork to bring greater balance to the pregnant body and create space for baby to move into a more optimal position. Rather than trying to “flip” the baby, this session gently encourages the body to release tension, restore alignment, and invite change. It can also help prepare the body for a medical External Cephalic Version (ECV) if that becomes part of your care plan. What’s included: Review of current baby position and intake Education on breech positioning and home practice, including the Breech Protocol (e-book provided) 30 minutes of guided movement and muscle releases for balance 90-minute body balancing massage Sacral Release A customized plan of care and follow-up recommendations While not every baby will turn, this session can offer deep support—physically and emotionally—for navigating this part of your journey with clarity and confidence.
Duration: 2.5 - 3 Hours Cost: $ 200.00
PLEASE NOTE: Note: It’s helpful to know the type of breech presentation (frank, complete, footling, etc.) before your session, if possible. The earlier body balancing work is started—ideally between 32 and 36 weeks—the better the chances of baby turning head down naturally.
Postpartum Massage
This full body massage is designed to support recovery, rest, and reconnection in the postpartum period. Whether you’ve recently given birth or are months into your healing journey, this session provides space to release physical tension and receive restorative care. Postpartum massage can help relieve sore muscles, promote circulation, reduce swelling, and support overall well-being. It may also ease the emotional intensity that can arise after birth—offering a quiet moment to come back to your body with care and intention. This session is appropriate for all birthing parents, regardless of how or where you gave birth, and can be adapted to your stage of healing and comfort.

Postpartum Massage & Belly Binding
This session is designed to support your physical and emotional recovery after birth through nurturing, hands-on care. It includes a full body massage, gentle womb massage, and traditional abdominal binding—a practice rooted in many cultures to help stabilize and restore the postpartum body. Postpartum massage can ease muscle tension, promote circulation, support uterine involution, and reduce swelling. It also provides emotional grounding and connection during a time of major transition. Belly binding offers added support to the core and lower back, helping to improve posture and provide a sense of containment and comfort. I use a gauze bind, which allows for gentle, secure wrapping that adapts to your body and stage of healing. This massage can be done with our without the womb binding
Duration: 90 Minutes Cost: $ 150.00
