Heartfelt Notes

From women I’ve supported

A few words from women who have experienced Deb’s care through pregnancy, postpartum and the tender seasons of becoming a mother.

I recieved a pregnancy massage with Deb during both of my pregnancies with my boys and it was truly the most beautiful experience. Deb has such a warm and nurturing presence and treated me with so much love and care. I felt completely supported and deeply relaxed throughout the session. It was such a wonderful experience to be held in such loving, feminine energy during this time in my life!

Deb creates such a warm and welcoming space where you feel genuinely cared for and supported. Her massage is gentle and therapeutic, and has helped me slow down, reconnect and make space for self-care through pregnancy and postpartum.

Hayley Meiklejohn

I received Reiki and massage treatments from Deb in the postpartum period after the birth of my twins, and I felt so deeply supported and nourished as a new mother. Deb’s space is incredibly welcoming and relaxing, like stepping into a little retreat. She brings such a caring, nurturing energy to her work, and I always left feeling more grounded, held and restored.
