  • 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, including your face, 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. If you use cortisone, medicated, or hormonal topical creams, please do not apply them until after our session.
  • 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 before moving to the table. You spend most of our time on your back or side-lying. We will always prioritize belly and womb work every session. 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 is specialized bodywork for women with an emphasis on fascial + organ manual therapies for pelvic health. We are interested in longterm results which means putting in the work over time and addressing all seen and unseen parts of your body. 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. This work prioritizes sacred tending, embodiment, and self-responsibility. The lineage and teachers of Womb Continuum care combine structural integration, fascial, traditional Mexican abdominal, intra-pelvic, and visceral therapies.
  • Do you offer intra-pelvic work?
    Yes. Women's bodywork means addressing every part that makes up your unique anatomy and supports your pelvic health. It is required to book an initial session prior to receiving hands-in pelvic care. It is essential to address the abdomen and wombspace prior to effective hands-in pelvic work. Hands-in pelvic care can include external vulva, intravaginal, cervical, and anal work depending on your needs and interest. This is not sexological bodywork. It is non goal-orientated, deep tending to your tissues. If you are nervous to receive hands-in pelvic work, we can start with a vulva mapping session for you to become deeper acquainted with your unique anatomy prior to therapeutic bodywork. Vulva mapping is deeply nourishing where there has been disassociation, shame, or fear, and a history of procedures or surgeries.
  • Can I receive this work while trying to conceive?
    Yes. I recommend investing in bodywork during your preconception phase while actively not trying to get pregnant. If you are actively trying to conceive please schedule your sessions between your bleed and ovulation, not in the weeks after ovulation.
  • How early can I receive this work in pregnancy and 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.
  • Can I receive this work during a miscarriage or abortion?
    Yes. You may book into care once you have a confirmed miscarriage. This work supports uterine clearing and healing. Your body deserves to be held during this process.
  • 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.
