Prenatal Massage
Our prenatal massage therapy addresses common pregnancy discomforts like back pain and swelling through specialized techniques. Performed in the comfort of your home, these sessions improve circulation, reduce stress hormones, and promote overall well-being for expectant mothers. Each session adapts to your changing body's needs throughout all stages of pregnancy.
Postpartum Doula Care
Comprehensive postpartum support includes breastfeeding guidance, newborn care, and emotional assistance during the critical first weeks after birth. Our doulas provide hands-on help with infant latching, postpartum recovery, and family adjustment, combining traditional practices with modern evidence-based care for both hospital and home settings.
Lactation Support
IBCLC-certified lactation consultants offer personalized breastfeeding support for common challenges like low milk supply and latching difficulties. Services include prenatal preparation, postpartum troubleshooting, and hands-free feeding techniques, with both in-home visits and virtual consultations available for flexible access to care.
Ayurvedic Consultation
Specialized Ayurvedic consultations for newborns and parents focus on traditional wellness practices from conception through early childhood. Our certified practitioners provide personalized guidance on herbal care, dietary recommendations, and energy balancing techniques to support postpartum recovery and infant development through culturally informed approaches.
Infant Bodywork
Gentle craniosacral therapy and bodywork address physical restrictions in newborns, particularly before and after tongue-tie procedures. These sessions improve feeding patterns, breathing, and overall comfort through specialized techniques that release muscle tension and fascial restrictions, supporting optimal development and parent-infant bonding.
