There are a varied number of ways that I can support people during this journey, whether it is with one to one antenatal education, full doula support or postpartum support and body recovery.
Below are a list of my offerings :
Preparing for Birth
Having knowledge on the ways bodywork can support the birthing parent can be an empowering role for the birth partner.
