Balanced Birth LLC

To all of my wonderful clients…

I have loved building Balanced Birth over the last few years and seeing so many women transition from pregnancy to motherhood and beyond!

While I continue to be passionate about all things pregnancy, breastfeeding, and motherhood I am taking time to shift my practice as I work to focus more on the mental health aspect of care.

I am currently working on becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to serve women in this way. During this time of study I am scaling back at Balanced Birth.

As of now I am no longer accepting new massage clients, and will be seeing lactation clients on a limited basis. If you are looking for prenatal breastfeeding education, or postpartum support - reach out and I will let find you a provider if I am unavailable

Next stop Arizona 🌵🫶

And much much more!

Breastfeeding is a beautiful thing, but the journey can be a bumpy one! With expert care delivered to your living room, I can take time to really listen and meet you where you are creating a care plan with you and your unique goals as the center of everything!

Many insurance plans cover in-home lactation care. Check your coverage now and have a plan in place before baby arrives, ensuring a smooth ride into motherhood!

Thats right…You don’t have to be pregnant to come see me!!

With over 15 years of massage experience I have the skills to help you feel good in your body at any stage in life.

I know first hand that holding your new baby, constantly looking down, nursing, and sleeping in awkward positions can sometimes make your postpartum body feel more tense than when you are pregnant.

I joyfully spent the weekend learning to combine my skills as a massage therapist and lactation consultant this weekend learning infant CST!

Bodywork and babies go hand-in-hand. While birth is a natural process, living in a restrictive womb and being born can put lots of stress on a baby’s body. Add in restrictive swaddles, seats and containers - babies are not moving to their fullest. Cranial Sacral Therapy combines gentle stretching and light touch to help release tension and stress in the body to allow full function of all the systems.


* Stimulating nerves 
CST can help normalize the baby’s central nervous system. 


* Releasing tension 
CST can help relieve tension and stiffness in the baby’s oral reflexes, neck, and shoulders. This can help with breastfeeding and latching, as well as other feeding issues. 

* Promoting healing 
CST can help release restrictions in the muscles and fascial tissues, which can promote healing and alleviate stress.

* Improving circulation 
CST can help improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which can help remove blockages and restore the body’s natural ability to heal.

I am excited to incorporate CST in to my lactation consults, as well as offer stand alone sessions for infants and toddlers. I will be offering some free sessions as a hone my skills and find how CST will best fit into my practice
