About Us
During my two pregnancies, I felt a discomfort that no one could seem to cure. I was fatigued, moody, depressed and of coarse uncomfortable. I knew there had to be a better way to be pregnant. After the birth of my second beautiful boy, I began to discover more and more about prenatal and postpartum massage therapy. After a while I became so astonished at the benefits women were experiencing, it finally occurred to me what my new mission in life was to be. Offering ALL women, pregnant or not the ability to live a comfortable life was my new calling. For pregnant women, I wanted to help them celebrate their beautiful maternity period naturally without all of those common ailments that go along with it eleviating the need for medicinal intervention. Give them the gift that I did without.
Today, Bellies and Babies is based on the belief that women, pregnancy and the path to pregnancy is a beautiful occasion that needs to be enjoyed. Our entire team is committed to making these events a special and comfortable one for everyone.
To help women with maintenance on their ever changing bodies, we help relieve the known culprits during pregnancy and everyday life. We use side lying techniques that allow us to work the areas necessary during pregnancy that are optimal for muscle release.
