Advanced Training in Reproductive Care

Why My Training Matters

The abdomen and pelvis require specialized knowledge to work safely and effectively, especially for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery.

My training is focused specifically on reproductive and abdominal care rather than general massage.

Over the years I have studied multiple therapeutic traditions and clinical bodywork approaches so I can understand not only muscles, but also organ position, circulation patterns, and nervous system response.

This allows me to adapt each session to the individual rather than using a routine technique.
