  • Massage Therapy

    • 90 Minute Massage $150
      This session is for a new client, prenatal massage or those existing clients that would like to come only once a month.  We will address any potential issues, move joints, settle the nervous system and soften tissue. 
    • 60 Minute Focus $100
      This therapeutic session allows time to focus on a chronic (or new) issue that needs attention, be a movement session follow-up or simply provide time for stress reduction. 60 minute sessions can be scheduled more frequently and are great for regular work in combination with acupuncture or chiropractic care. 
    • Facial Massage $120
      A session devoted to giving much needed attention to the face, jaw, neck and head. We will nourish the skin and tend to the tension held in the upper body. This session is 60 minutes

  • Birthing Bodywork

    As a certified labor Doula and Spinning Babies Aware Practioner I prioritize perinatal bodywork for my clients.  If you are a current Doula client or are a new client with a breech position and are not finding an available appointment please inquire.  There is space for you.
    • Prenatal/90 Minute Massage $150
      This prenatal session can be a time for relaxation or an opportunity to discuss, assess, and treat any specific restrictions arising from your pregnancy.  Or both!  The goal is for you to benefit from this time with softer tissues and new tools for a more comfortable pregnant body.  This session is sometimes longer than 90 minutes, if needed please plan up to 2 hours together.
    • Breech Balancing Session $150
      In this session we work together to encourage optimal fetal position using gentle tools like manual release of targeted ligaments and tissues and positions.  We will spend up to 2hours together.  Our session will most likely not conclude the work that needs to be done.  We will likely remain in contact and communication while your work continues at home with daily practice of the tools and exercises I've provided you.
    • Body Balancing Virtual Consult $75
      If travel is difficult or time restrictive this is an opportuity to gain valuable resources, insight and tools regarding fetal position and ways to encourage a more balanced body for birth.
