I became a licensed massage therapist in 2002 hoping to bring fulfillment to my life and others. My interest in the birth process blossomed once I read Ina May Gaskin's Spiritual Midwifery. I always wanted to be a part of something extraordinary, and being a massage therapist seemed like a natural compliment to assisting moms throughout their pregnancy and labor. It has enabled me to understand the importance of the baby's first touch coming from the mother, promoting love, warmth and bonding upon it's entry into the world. Since I began attending births, I have been humbled seeing such beauty, strength, and determination in each and every woman. I am eager to continue this path of encouragement and comfort during one of the most intense rites of passage a woman can experience.
In addition to offering doula support and massage for Mama, Papa, and Baby, I have also incorporated my love of cooking into my practice. Feel free to check out my website for further information. I can also be contacted via email at mamabear888@gmail.com or cell at 407.920.0405 if you have any questions.
