No, hands on body work and massage are very different. While I work on you there needs to be a level of engagement and understanding of what I am doing. It is a co-creation and together we make lasting changes in your body.

There should not be pain, but there most likely will be some discomfort while we work on your body. This is normal!

Our bodies hold on to so much, physically and emotionally - so when we create an environment that feels safe for your body to unwind, there may be moments that do not feel good. We are creating space in your body by working with your fascia and helping your organs to shift into an optimal position. We are also working with scar tissue, adhesion as well as inflammation, listening to your body and allowing her to guide us. If at any point it is too much, we can shift gears and move on to something else - or stop the session entirely.

Unfortunately, no. There is a chance that while we do the deep belly work it could cause your IUD to dislodge and perforate your uterus or cause damage to your surrounding tissue/organs.

Yes, absolutely. It is beneficial for your body as long as you are comfortable with it, so am I.

Yes! Generally, we do not do body work in the first trimester. This is to allow your body to settle into its job for the coming months and gives your body time to create a safe home for your little baby. Into the second trimester body work is encouraged. The techniques I use are to create a more spacious body for your baby to grow and for you to be as comfortable as possible.

If you have a vaginal birth you can receive body work immediately. If you have had a cesarean it is recommended to wait a minimum of 10-12 weeks to allow your body to have a good chance to heal.

Yes! This work is for every woman, and can help with a myriad of issues one may have. Our sessions really focus on bringing balance and connection within your body - bringing you into alignment - home.

Each session is unique and tailored to what your body is in need of at the time.

The day of your session please show up with clean skin (no lotions, oils etc). We will be working with castor oil, so if you have an allergy please make me aware ahead of time so I can be prepared.

I require my clients to arrive at their sessions sober so that they can be an active participant of the session - fully in their body and able to consent to the work we will be doing.

This is up to you. At the beginnig of our session I will ask you to stand against the wall so I can take a look at your body and where we need to start. Underwear is best during this part of our time together. During the body work portion, you will be covered with a sheet as well as a blanket, so you are welcome to be naked or in your underwear. If we are doing internal work, it will be required to remove your underwear.

Each body is unique and requires different care. This type or care is essential along the womb continuum from youth to end of life.

It is safe to say that 3-6 sessions would be beneficial. Each time we work together we are able to go a little deeper. Each time we work together, a new layer unfolds and we are able to access different parts of your body. How many sessions will depend on your health goals and desires. If you have a lot going on, it likely did not happen over night -this work can initially show a lot of shifts and it is a devotional process of working with your body and tissue to unravel layers of stagnation and dis-ease.

No. As a way to build trust and getting to know you and your body, I am now requiring my clients to come see me for belly work (no genital touch during these sessions).

Yes, this work is really gentle but very beneficial for all girls/young women into elderhood.

Sessions are typically shorter because the do not have the same levels of adhesion, scar tissue etc that adults do.

I offer a discounted rate to girls under the age of 18.

I also require a parent to be present the full length of our first session. Follow up sessions are at the discretion of the parent/child whether they remain in attendance.

No, I do not accept insurance.
