Want Help Understanding Your Baby?

Infants are so wonderful, and sometimes their behaviors seem foreign to us.  

It's so much work and energy to care for a newborn and often times, we don't know the ways in which we can make life out of the womb easier on baby, while also making it easier for us as parents.

They say to rest while the baby does, but what if baby has trouble sleeping or they have a sibling who needs adult supervision?

Infant Massage offers so much more than physiological benefits of massage, it brings confidence.  It improves stress levels of caregivers.
Imagine what it would feel like to know what your baby wanted and to be able to respond accordingly on the first try.

How good would it feel to be able to help your baby with gas pressure?  To comfort them with massage the relieves their congestion, what a gift.

To be able to hear the differences between cry types and respond before baby is inconsolable?

I can almost see your cortisol levels dropping as you meet your baby's needs with grace and ease.

What others are saying...




Hey there! I'm SO glad you found me!


I'm Stefanie.  I help intentional mamas navigate the childbearing year with grace and ease, rising to all the challenges of motherhood.

I didn't arrive here easily, though.

For years, I felt helpless as I faced breastfeeding challenges even after a "perfect" homebirth.  I was afraid to ask for help when I felt constantly worried and stressed.

I was a licensed massage therapist for 13 years.  I've been a doula for 10 years. I have certifications in fertility enhancement massage and infant massage.

I'd love to support you and your family in this very special year.
