As you very well know by now, there's so much more to prenatal wellness than simply popping a vitamin.
The amount of things you need to do to prepare for baby, PLUS all you need to do to remain as healthy as possible is OVERWHELMING!
You only have so much time with your provider, and the internet can be a precarious place full of conflicting information, rabbit holes, and heaping doses of not-enoughness.
And that’s exactly why I’ve created these sessions.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
It is best to consult with your doctor before beginning a new wellness routine, but especially when you are pregnant.
I recommend checking in with your provider to get cleared for bodywork at each OB appointment.
There are a few complications of pregnancy that contraindicate to receiving bodywork during pregnancy.
If you are experiencing any of the above conditions, please consult your Medical Provider.
However, I have both good news and bad news.
The bad news is: I cannot massage you, it would be unsafe.
The good news is: Your session will be restructured to be entirely wellness support, which can be done in person or virtually!
