  • How do I prepare for a session?
    Daily castor oil packing to begin the process of softening adhesions and granting us easier access to deeper tissue layers and organs. On the day of your session, have clean skin free from moisturizers or oils. You do not need to wear any clothing or you may choose to wear a loose tank top (no bra) and underwear. If you have belly button piercings, they must be removed and stay removed for the duration of your womb continuum care.
  • How long is a session? How many should I book?
    All sessions are 90 minutes. You may request longer sessions up to 120 minutes. Working with postural habits, adhesions, scars can take time. I highly recommend booking at least 3 sessions within 6 weeks to start.
  • What does a session look like?
    Every session starts with a postural assessment and then we move to the table. You spend most of our time on your back or side-lying. While this is whole-body care, a portion of your session will always address your abdomen. My intention is to address specific anatomy and your top health concerns, while also following your body's lead to where she wants the work.
  • Is this massage therapy?
    No. Womb continuum care specifically uses fascial + organ manual therapies to bring your external and internal structures back into alignment. We are interested in changing and optimizing your posture and organ position longterm. All muscle and organ function is dependent on fascial mobility, so we start there. This can take time and WORK. Our sessions together are not for exclusively for relaxation or de-stressing. We work together because you are ready to help your body unwind years of adhesions, scar tissue, and postural imbalances. We work with your body as a whole from superficial to deep layers of the body, centering abdominal and pelvic function. The lineage of Womb Continuum care draws from structural integration, myofascial, mayan and traditional Mexican abdominal, intra-pelvic, and visceral therapies.
  • How early can I receive this work in pregnancy or postpartum?
    Allow the 1st trimester to be a time of rest and protection. You are welcome to book in from 14-15 weeks and throughout pregnancy. Immediately after a vaginal birth. Wait at least 10-12 weeks following a caesarean section.
  • What is your bodywork background?
    I’m currently studying under Carly Rae Beaudry and Andrea Terrones in Ma School. My background is in hands-on midwifery care since 2012 and prenatal abdominal massage specializing in breech bodywork since 2019. I use a combination of structural integration, myofascial, visceral, cranio-sacral manual therapies and traditional Mexican belly work. I intentionally practice bodywork without licensure. See a full list of my learning on my homepage.
  • Do you offer sliding scale prices?
    If you struggle to maintain to needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, and are living paycheck to paycheck or are in significant debt, please reach out and let’s discuss what we can offer each other.
