It takes a village to have a positive birth and a positive postpartum!
Here are some practitioners I personally know and trust. Most of them I either have seen or currently see as part of my own health care and wellness team.
But what works for me, may not work for you. Be sure to go with a modality and a practitioner that feels good for you!
