Pregnancy and Post-Pregnancy Massage & Bodywork

Let me help you release tension to optimize your pregnancy and birth.

As a mom of three, I get how pregnancy, birth, and afterward can be both the most amazing experience…and make you feel like you’ve been hit by a train. I am committed to helping you have your best birth and recovery experience yet!

I am a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with advanced training in manual therapy, obstetrics, women’s health, pelvic health, and nutrition and have been in private mobile practice since 2012 when I began seeing my own private clients in the Nashville area. Now in the Chattanooga area, I have zeroed in on offering bodywork to pregnant and postpartum mamas to optimize childbirth.

I have been a manual therapist since 2007 and started specializing in obstetrics PT early in my career in 2008 when I was pregnant with my first child and became more aware of all the effects pregnancy and birth has on a body.

After birthing my first sweetie, I had residual pain that I just thought was normal (it wasn’t) because I didn’t know there was something that could be done about it.

Fast forward to my second pregnancy in which those birth traumas from my first birth started showing up and made for a difficult second delivery. And then my third birth where I thought because I was exercising more and focusing on pelvic health movements, I would be okay. That was my most difficult birth!

I dove headfirst into more about pelvic health and healing after birth, both physically and emotionally, with hands-on techniques to help moms have better births and recoveries. And that’s why I am offering this service - primarily to help moms heal from previous births (no matter how long it’s been) and prep for birth with softened tissues, free from the tension of past scars and traumas.

So you can start fresh and have an amazing birth and recovery!
