About Me
I’m Bethany, massage therapist, postpartum doula, and author of Pelvic Awakening, a guide to womb wisdom, healing, and embodiment.
I’m also a mother of two daughters, and my own experiences have given me a deep passion for supporting other mothers during the sacred, transformative, and vulnerable times of pregnancy and postpartum.
I know how deeply nurturing and healing it can feel to receive a massage during pregnancy or after birth. I know what it’s like to receive support with breastfeeding or with my baby or to be fed a nourishing meal after birth. I always aim to show up for women in that spirit of sisterhood and village support, knowing how important it is to receive support during these times.
For the past 8 years, I have worked as a massage therapist, supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery. My work weaves together years of hands-on experience with women alongside extensive training in abdominal therapy, pelvic health, and prenatal and postpartum bodywork.
My goal is to create a grounded, healing space where women can rest, heal, and reconnect with their bodies during these important transitions.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that the body holds an innate blueprint for healing, and that mothers deserve to be supported as they move through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. In fact, it is our blueprint for our deepest health.
Thank you for being here.

If you resonate with my work and want to deepen into learning about female anatomy, healing and embodiment practices, and much more, please check out my book Pelvic Awakening. I just released the second updated and revised edition last year. At the time of writing (2019-2021), there wasn’t a book like this out there that wove together women’s physical and energetic anatomy, with ancient wisdom and real embodied healing practices, along with the lived experiences of working with the womb and pelvic area. I’m deeply proud of this book.
