FAQs
How can I have a 90 minute massage when my baby feeds all the time?
If possible, I do recommend you ask a a co-parent or friend to care for baby during your massage so you can focus on relaxing and receiving. (If it's not possible, don't stress—we can keep baby near us.) But if baby needs to feed, we can easily pause and adjust. That's no problem at all.
How soon or how long after the birth can I book this massage?
You could book it anywhere from one day after birth to years after birth if you wish. The optimal time for this kind of bodywork is between 1-12 weeks postpartum, as that's when your body is most open to these kinds of supportive adjustments. However, this kind of witnessing through touch always has healing benefits, even decades after birth.
Can I book this massage after an abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth?
Absolutely! No matter what type of pregnancy or loss journey you've had, your body still goes through a postpartum phase and it is absolutely the optimal time to receive loving, healing, transformative bodywork and care.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
I offer up to 15% for parents of color, disabled parents, trans and queer parents!
I can't tell you how often parents tell me, "I spent so much time preparing for the birth. I wish I had spent at least as much time preparing for breastfeeding and postpartum; that turned out to be when I needed the most help!"
New parents need specialized, caring support in order to heal, safely process their birth, nurse, and regain vibrant physical and psychological health in their new family formation. Treat yourself to expert, compassionate care after your birth. The benefits will last you and your family a lifetime.
