What do I need for a home bodywork session?

A space for me to set-up a massage table and a few of your favourite pillows. Please wear loose clothing with access to your abdomen, ideally no bra and a loose waistband.
My baby’s position feels good. Can I still book a session?

Yes! The benefits of prenatal bodywork are for everyone.
Should my partner be there?

Recommended but not necessary. There are several techniques that require a partner and it is helpful if they can be available towards the end of a session to learn these. If your partner is unavailable then your doula or other support person is welcome to attend and learn.
Are you a massage therapist?

I am a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner, and use massage and manual techniques for pregnancy. I learned directly from Nicole Morales and Jamie Mossay who teach The Breech Release. I also have close to a decade of experience palpating the abdomen in pregnancy. I combine these two skills sets to offer prenatal bodywork that integrates advanced palpation with therapeutic touch. I am not a registered massage therapist.
