Healing Tree Doula

2 prenatal meeting, on-call labor support, 1 postpartum meeting

This is a class geared to teaching the partner how to help the birthing mom through labor. This includes some education on massage, oils, pressure points and other tools for comfort. This is especially helpful for a mom trying to go natural/unmedicated during labor.

Birth photography is one of my favorite offerings. Capturing the sweet moments between a couple and the first moments of meeting your baby are so special and priceless.

Offering postpartum doula support. This is a great way to create your village. I can come and help with cooking, cleaning, taking care of baby and other children while you rest. I do daytime hours but no overnight shifts at this time

I love working with the pregnant and postpartum population. I offer prenatal massage and labor prep massage for pregnancy. Massage during pregnancy can help with a faster and easier labor. I offer hot stone massage, warm bamboo fusion, and Thia massage for postpartum. This is a great way to promote healing. I have lots of other bodywork offerings as well including infant massage education and cranial sacral therapy for infants.

I love teaching parents infant massage. I think it is a tool every parent should know to help bond, soothe and ease discomort for their babies. I also have an online course for this but I do teach in person classes as well.

I love working with the babies! I am a massage therapist for over 25 years. Cranial Sacral therapy is a light tough method that helps decompress the cranium calming the nervous system and affecting everything else in the body from there. This can help babies with digestion, latching, spitting up, sleeping, colic, lip/tongue ties and so much more. If your baby is struggling this is definately something to try. I do recommend at least 3 visits.

I offer two styles of belly binding and I honestly recommend both. BengKung belly binding which takes a little longer to put on but is more effective. Faja belly binding which is less effective but quicker when you have less time. Belly binding helps bring the organs back into place, bring warmth back into the body, supports posture, promotes healing, and is a comforting postpartum experience.
