About Heidi
I offer calm, intentional, and highly personalized care for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—blending the therapeutic skill of a Licensed Massage Therapist with the grounded, steady presence of a doula. My approach is whole-person care, supporting your body, your mind, and your experience in every stage of your journey, exactly where you are. My services include: • Birth doula support (in-person + virtual) • Prenatal bodywork • Postpartum belly binding • Belly sculpting • Belly casting keepsakes • Birth pool rentals for labor support and comfort Each service is designed with intention—to ease tension, support recovery, and bring more comfort, confidence, and softness into your birth experience. For 2026 births, I also offer a limited virtual doula package for families who want consistent, ongoing support throughout pregnancy, birth preparation, and the transition into delivery—no matter where they are located. While my focus is expanding into virtual care, I am still fully available for in-person support and bodywork within the Houston area. My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, supported, and deeply held—physically, emotionally, and mentally—through every step of this journey.
