Through my Aquanatal classes, Esalen Massage, Somatic Experiencing Practice, Watsu sessions & Water Doula sessions; I create space for people to connect with themselves & universal life flow ~ exploring greater harmony, presence, and coherence. I support women with reproductive health issues whether that be welcoming pregnancy fully or choosing to release pregnancy with clarity.
Esalen Massage
A presence-based custom massage:
Esalen massage works in connection with the nervous system of the client/healing partner. Esalen Massage incorporates gentles passive stretching and movement creating an experience of flow and connection.
The body-mind-spirit discovers at its own pace that trust and opening are available and an unfolding can occur allowing for a more vibrant, embodied state of being.
Somatic experiencing session
Somatic Experiencing was designed to free the nervous system from trauma and is healing for any range of nervous system dys -regulation. While there are many techniques within the modality, a session with me will always include some core components including grounding, goal-setting( from a felt sense), getting more deeply in touch with resources that provide stability and ease in the body, touching into places that create activation in the nervous system (i.e. Stir things up a- bit ) leading to weaving in grounding and resourcing gradually increasing the client’s capacity for stress and building more resilience in the nervous system.
Aquanatal &Water Doula
Aquanatal creates time and space for pregnant women to join together in sacred ceremony. With breath and movement, mamas come into union with themselves, their babies, and universal life force, shedding stresses and bodily discomforts.
Aquanatal combines belly dance, yoga, breathwork, and companionship to prepare women for childbirth and postpartum. Aquababes is the natural continuation of Aquanatal where mothers can process the postpartum experience together.Mothers and babies connect with eachother ; their bodies & relieve stress &explore joyous movement in the water. Gentle toning for mama’s body is combined with cardio . Song and play are incorporated for sweet engagement with baby.

Water Doula ® is a wonderful exploratory practice that while excellent for perinatal and mothers is also beneficial & available FOR ALL PEOPLE. The doula is the water and the “ rebozo” fabric which holds the receiver ( protagonist) in a membrane of fabric while suspended in the water which provides a space to see what emerges and unfolds in the system in a nurturing , restorative experience. watedoula.com
Watsu
Watsu is a unique experience of being held in warm water in a passive state. The practitioner moves rhythmically in a chi- gong Form while moving and stretching the receiver; mental, emotional, cardiovascular & musculoskeletal, benefits are felt as the nervous system gently unwinds with nurturing care.
