Support For Your Whole Journey

Conceiving, pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum & Beyond.

Whether this is your first pregnancy or fifth, you’re preparing for conception or experiencing the tender postpartum season, feeling achy and sore, fearful about birth, wanting to strengthen and move more, or grieving a loss - there is a place for you here.

Welcoming all bodies and family configurations, solo parents by choice, surrogates, birth support people and partners.

Education

My goal is to empower you with experiential learning that opens a pathway to body-led, physiologic birth. Understand and interrupt the fear > pain > tension feedback loop. Learn ways to work with contractions rather than fight against them. Practice pelvic floor awareness that absolutely helps during the pushing phase.

Our childbirth education programs are distinctive in that they also encourage contemplation of after baby is born, helping to navigate circles of support for your postpartum.

Postpartum isn't about returning to who you were before pregnancy — it's about getting to know all the new layers of who you are now. Learning doesn’t end when your baby is born; I also offer Restore Your Core + Pelvic Floor, and Intimacy After Birth + Beyond workshops.

Bodywork

As a Spinning Babies® Aware Bodywork Practitioner, Somatic and Cranial Sacral Practitioner, I specialize in releasing tension, reducing pain, exploring the mind body connection, creating better balance in your body which allows more space for uterus + baby to help create a smoother passageway: physically, mentally and emotionally during labor and birth.

Movement

Intentional, nourishing movement and a whole-body approach to strengthening is enormously beneficial for both you and your baby. Not only will you feel better during pregnancy, it prepares you for birth and a smoother postpartum recovery. There is a lot of information circulating around out there - it can leave you wondering what’s the best, safest things I should be doing during pregnancy and postpartum. Movement programming intentionally supports your body, your baby’s position, your nervous system and prepares your muscles and ligaments for childbirth and helps you reconnect with yourself after birth. My therapeutic, functional, whole-body approach incorporates how to bring what we do in a class or private session into your daily life. So you can easily incorporate it in.

  • "I am so grateful for the personalized care I have received working with Amy. When I got injured in pregnancy I was really struggling to find ways to connect with myself and stay positive in my pregnancy. Amy took the time to explore my physical symptoms, frame my goals, teach me about positioning in activities and in rest, and helped my acute pain. In addition, I was given many tools to use on my own to help continue improving. I have been able to be connected to the activities and mind frame I need to stay positive and healthy."
