About me

Hello! I'm Candi and I'm a birth & postpartum doula, pre & perinatal massage therapist and bodyworker, childbirth educator, and movement specialist. I originally became a birth doula because my 3 births were incredibly traumatic and I never wanted another mom to feel alone and scared like I felt during those experiences. But having attended births since 2004, I have come to realize that birth is very different than what I originally thought. I've witnessed some of the most amazing births with the most empowered and inspiring moms. I've come to learn that birth happens best when a mom feels supported and seen, when she trusts her body and the process of birth. And I've seen how a birth affects families going into parenting - traumatized moms don't trust their instincts and look for parenting answers outside of themselves. Whereas moms who felt empowered throughout her birthing goes into parenting as a mamma bear - trusting in her instincts and protecting her littles ferociously. It is my heart's work to help mammas, and families, find their strength and empowerment, believe in themselves and their bodies capability to bring baby into the world, and to walk the journey with them, every step of the way.

Service introduction

You don't need someone to "save" you from your birth and postpartum time. You need someone to help you prepare for it. You CAN feel strong and empowered. You CAN feel prepared. You CAN know how to work with your body instead of against it. That's what this work is about. Birth Doula: As your doula, I provide emotional steadiness, practical guidance, and hands-on support so you don't feel alone or uncertain during labor. I also help birth partners understand what's happening and how to show up in ways that truly help. Postpartum Doula: Care that provides steady, practical, in-home support during the early weeks with your newborn. This isn't just help. It's structured guidance during one of the most physically and emotionally demanding seasons of your life. Prenatal massage & bodywork: helping to ease the aches and pains of pregnancy, create space for baby to position well, and preparation for birth. Also useful for postpartum healing. Body Ready Method: It's a 6-session pregnancy preparation package designed to improve alignment, reduce tension, and create the kind of balance that supports optimal fetal positioning and smoother labor patterns. Childbirth Classes: When you understand what your body is doing and how to work with it, labor stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling purposeful. Education removes guesswork. It replaces fear with clarity and gives pain a purpose. - Options: HypnoBirthing Comprehensive Course, Spinning Babies Parent Workshop, Body Ready Birth Workshop Mother Roasting: A ceremonial postpartum experience centered around warmth, containment, and intentional closure after birth. Included: Belly Binding, Closing the Bones Ceremony, Yoni Steams and more CST for infants: gentle, hands-on approach designed to support babies who may be experiencing tension, feeding challenges, or general fussiness after birth.
