What I Do… What on Earth Do I ACTUALLY Do!?
People often make assumptions about what I do and the services I have to offer - but they almost never ask. I’m really not sure why except that they just don’t yet KNOW the value of the services I provide. And, what’s worse? They DON’T KNOW that they DON’T KNOW! My practice at Boulder Birth & Bodywork is such a special blend of approaches that it’s not easy to fit neatly into a category.
Are you a Massage Therapist? Yeah, but….
Are you a Doula? Well, yeah, but…
THERE’S SO MUCH MORE!
It’s been a bit of an uphill battle trying to define what I do for others but I think I’m finally getting there. Getting over the hump of the infamous imposter syndrome. Getting over the fear of getting it wrong… or more precisely, not sounding smart enough, making a dumb mistake, or somehow offending someone.
So, today, here it is… my declaration!
I am:
Committed to empowering women, birthing people, and families;
Using the power of touch to bring a sense of awareness of body, mind, and spirit into the lives of my clients;
Educating women, birthing people and families about their bodies, the process of birth, and their relationship with their children;
Providing a structure of support that families can use to build their sense of community and support they didn’t even realize they were missing;
Mentoring people how to be resilient in the face of the ever-changing landscape while on a birth and parenthood journey;
Empower people to trust their deeply accurate innate guidance systems;
Providing non-judgmental, loving, and nurturing space for supporting you on YOUR individual journey;
Assisting in the creation of positive and growth-oriented birth stories;
Assisting in the creation of a postpartum plan that fits your individual wants, needs, and desires;
Repatterning repetitive motions, postural imbalances, tensions, chronic stress responses, and emotions stored in the body;
Giving lessons on the importance of bonding and how to use touch to achieve a secure attachment bond;
Teaching expert massage therapy techniques and comfort measures;
And, honestly, so much more
This is what I do. It’s how I share my gifts with the world. I no longer wonder if what I do makes an impact. I KNOW it does. And, I hope I can share my gifts with YOU.
