Doula & Montrice Services

A doula is a support person for the expectant mother and her partner.  ​
​
​A montrice is a trained midwife who performs the role of a doula and also provides clinical support.

​​Having a baby is a an exciting and overwhelming transition.  Many women these days do not have the benefit to going to births of family and friends and are thus unfamiliar with birth.  So, it can be helpful to have a midwife who will provide you the support, encouragement, and knowledge.

Craniosacral therapy

Cranioscral therapy is a gentle hands on technique to restore balance to the nervous system. It can be helpful for a variety of conditions for adults and children alike.

As babies are born, they are compressed on their journey through the birth canal.  Craniosacral therapy is indicated for all children to help relieve any adhesions in the bones or fascia that may begin there.  It can be especially helpful for latch and breastfeeding issues, excessive fussiness, or digestive upset.
