  • Includes the opportunity to reflect on the birth and anything else that might have come up. Newborn babies are welcome to be part of our session.

    I offer a gentle, nurturing session which is a combination of creative healing massage and wrapping the whole body with rebozos. I focus attention on the abdomen, work on the feet and finish with a gentle facial/head massage. I enjoy creating a deeply restorative environment for new mamas/parents, so they can honour their amazing bodies, post birth. It can be performed at any point after giving birth but most often is done in the immediate postnatal period.  This session can be incredibly healing following a loss as well. I have held space for women on so many different journeys. I give with all my heart.

    This makes a wonderful postpartum gift. Please get in touch for more information
