Prenatal Massage & Bodywork

Do you want to feel empowered and thrive throughout your childbearing years and beyond?  Stop settling for common symptoms as your new state of normal by optimizing blood, lymph, nerve, and energy flow throughout your reproductive and digestive systems. This helps reduce or even eliminate common symptoms that you have been told are normal conditions during your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and beyond. 

 

Release the soft tissue structures (muscles, connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons) to create optimal space in your body to find ALIGNMENT.   Commit to at home exercises and use GRAVITY to settle into balance.

You have a lot of choices in the Lowcountry if you are looking for a great massage, but this is the only place that you will find the benefits of a Certified Advanced Arvigo® Practitioner combined with a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner, Yoga and Pilates all during the same session.

Start your journey with a comprehensive initial evaluation that allows ample time to go over your health history, concerns, and wellness goals.  Receive a one hour therapy session to fully assess and begin treating imbalances within the soft tissue structures, and an in depth follow-up discussion including self-care homework.  Leave feeling heard, empowered, and confident with a treatment plan created just for you.

My 
Story

From Induction to Alignment: My Journey as a Prenatal Massage Therapist:

Starting a career in prenatal massage therapy was not a straightforward path for me. It began in 2007 with a specialized certification focused on childbearing year care, covering everything from fertility to postpartum. This training combined several niches into one protocol, giving me a broad foundation. Over time, I pursued individual certifications in each area of that protocol, except reflexology. Along the way, I discovered the role of a doula and learned that pregnancy work was more than just one class—it was a continuous journey. This realization set me on a path that transformed my approach to prenatal care...​​​​

Advanced Bodywork Trainings 

Abdominal Therapy

Have you ever been told by your doctor that your tilted uterus was a variation of “normal”? How about pregnancy symptoms?  Are you expected to just live with acid reflux, back pain, ligament pain, headaches and more just because you are pregnant?  

Stop living with reproductive symptoms as your new state of common and optimize lymph, blood, nerve, and energy flow with The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy®

Somatic Practitioner

Science is catching up with bodywork.  With advanced technology, science is confirming the importance of fascia (also called connective tissue) and it’s diverse roll in supporting the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy and birth.  .

Spinning Babies

After integrating the advanced pregnancy Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® into my professional tool box, I noticed that I was attracting more complex cases as my community began to discover that I was more than just a great massage. 

The Spinning Babies® approach of physiology before force created the perfect blend of Maya Abdominal Therapy on the table, followed by applying Spinning Babies® techniques at the end of the session, and routinely for homework.

Multiple people referred me to Danica and after my intake appointment, it's easy to understand why. This is my first pregnancy and I have had a fair amount of questions, anxiety, and discomfort (especially in hips). Danica is a wealth of information and truly helped with all of the above, and my homework is providing relief between massages ;) The Maya abdominal work was wonderful. Danica is a bright light, I am so happy we have connected and look forward to more sessions together in the future!
