Hey There!
My name is Stephanie and I love to support individuals and families through their journey of pregnancy and postpartum parenthood.
I specialize in working with pregnant, postpartum, infant and pediatric populations.
My therapeutic massage treatments aid in better pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences for the whole family.
I believe touch is an essential part of connection, healing and development. A true massage therapist at heart, my hands-on work provides comfort, ease and relaxation. I use touch therapy to provide nervous system support and I love to incorporate movement and education into self-care strategies.
​
In my sessions, I focus on facilitating and maintaining balance and alignment of the pregnant pelvis and supporting structures. This helps create optimal fetal and uterine alignment, aid in more physical comfort for the birth parent, and create optimal space for the baby.
​
What is pregnancy, birth and parenthood, but new growth, continuous development and a flurry of movement.
