Need local support?

Introducing Amber Pearson, a local birth doula, postpartum doula, pre and postnatal yoga teacher.

Amber says, “I see the great sacred transitional period from pregnancy all the way through few years after birth to be one of the most heart opening and challenging times. I am drawn to birth, and postpartum support along side yoga as a way for individuals to find balance within the change, and to have the support one needs so they can be present with there little ones. I am offering a workshop for pregnant mothers to begin the process of finding balance within the current of change. This workshop is called, “Devotional Mothers.”

here is a flyer

I also give personal postnatal classes in mamas home, so she doesn’t have to leave her nest.

I am currently studying as an Ayourdoula, Ayurvedic postpartum support. This includes cooking, marma points (similar to acupressure), mama and baby massage, and essential oils. These all support her with digestion, elimination, and balancing the body & hormones. And of course much more. I am offering these as a lower rate/ sliding scale as I am looking for experience. This applies to mamas and babies through 2years after birth.
