Midwifery care
I offer prenatal and postnatal midwifery care in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area, in partnership with local doulas and lactation support providers.
Bodywork & Energy Healing
Reiki
Reiki is a form of energy healing, originating in Japan. Translated as "universal life energy,"Reiki works holistically with the body, mind, and spirit to balance the energy field, release blockages, and promote peace and relaxation.
Infant Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is an extremely gentle, non-invasive, and effective form of bodywork. It calms the nervous system and normalizes the body's response to stress. CST also works to release restrictions in the muscle, fascia, and skeletal layers to restore optimal function and ease of movement. CST is beneficial for everyone, but because it is so gentle, CST is an especially effective form of bodywork for babies.
Childbirth Education
Mindful Birthing
Holistic, Inspiring, and Inclusive.
There is no “right” or “wrong” way to give birth. Rather than focusing on any one specific outcome, this class helps you to explore your own values and preferences, and give you tools to handle to multiple possibilities, based on what your body and your baby might need.
This widely beloved course is now a hybrid online and live/in person class!
Placenta Encapsulation
Your placenta is the amazing organ that nourished your baby in the womb. For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has recognized the placenta as powerful medicine used to tonify Qi (life energy) after the birth. Placenta capsules taken during the postpartum period can help rebuild blood supply, increase milk production, increase energy, and stabilize mood after childbirth.
