Childbirth Preparation Class (Privates)
If you are "on bed rest", have time considerations
or
you just prefer to have a childbirth class in the
privacy of your own home, I offer a Childbirth
Preparation course.  I will take you through the
physiology of pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, 
breastfeeding and newborn care. 
The fee for this six-hour course is $200

Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage
I am a Certified Massage Therapist specializing,

among other modalities,in prenatal and postpartum
massage. I have received advance training in this
modality by Kate Jordan in her 34 hour course
"Bodywork for
the Childbearing Year".

There are many benefits to massage during pregnancy,
some which
include: stress relief on weight-bearing
joints; relaxation
and decreased insomnia; lessened
sciatic pain; fewer calf cramps; and headache and sinus
congestion release. And it just plain feels good!!!!!

My doula clients receive discounts on my massage
services.

Infant Massage
In this course I will teach you how to massage your
baby. You will also learn how to interpret your baby's
cries and how to understand your baby. In addtion to
the deeper bonding that occurs, a gentle massage
helps with a baby's digestion, elimination, weight gain
and a deeper more restful sleep.
This privately-given course is $35 for one-half hour.

Helping families create happy memories one birth at a time

 

 

 

 

"There is a power that
comes to women when
they give birth.  It
accumulates like clouds
on the Horizon and
passes through, carrying
the child with it."

"I knew that she was
there, and she just
melted into action,
whispering in my ear,
reminding me that I could
do it."
