Service introduction
I currently offer childbirth/labor and postpartum doula services, childbirth education, and infant massage instruction classes. I am working toward getting my certification from Birth Arts International for birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, human milk feeding support, and bereavement support and from Institute of Somatic Therapy, I have completed the coursework, but for certification I need to teach a few classes. I have done the Birth Art training and Taming Fear workshops through Birthing From Within and am working on becoming a Mentor through their Heart of Mentoring course.

Prenatal Partner Doula Class
There is a ton of pressure on partners to be able to support their birthing loved ones nowadays. The problem is that most have never been present at an actual birth!! How unfair is it to expect them to know how to react, what is going to happen, or how to provide the best support to mom when they don't fully know what to do?
And sometimes, partners just need a safe way to get their own fears and feelings out, without being judged.
I can offer a one-on-one class with your partner to get to know them, suggest some techniques to help the birthing person cope during labor, and to discuss any uneasiness they may have about the approaching labor.

Infant Massage Class
I am currently working on becoming a certified infant massage instructor through the Institute of Somatic Therapy. My certification is currently pending me teaching classes to parents and having them evaluate me.
Infant massage has so many wonderful benefits to both the caregiver and the infant. Relaxation, bonding, and other benefits for sleep, gas, and general discomfort can be promoted with infant massage.
During the 1.5 hour class you will learn techniques to calm, bond with, and relieve common infant discomforts in a one-on-one style class. Bringing your partner, the infant's grandparents/aunt/uncle, other caregiver, and sibling(s) is encouraged to promote benefits and bonding. Currently, due to my experience level, the limit to adult/sibling attendance is limited to 4.
