Your body is changing in extraordinary ways, and rapidly. New postures, new weight, hormones affecting all connective tissues and joints (and emotions), all make for a really important moment to receive bodywork. Tension and circulation is addressed, and having an opportunity to read your new body from an outside source of feedback can be very valuable in acknowledging and caring for yourself, while mitigating strain and stress. It’s also a lovely quiet moment for you to be present with your baby prenatally, or a solo moment to refind your body’s containment postnatally.

Prenatal and/or Postpartum. Visits may include light cleaning, groceries, meal preparation, nursing check-in, referrals for support - individualized by your current need.  

Postural and Alignment Support and Strength via Pilates. Giving birth is a strenuous, athletic event!

Pilates is a beautiful technique for encompassing all these demands in a personalized, appropriate manner. Movement is a form of nutrition!
