Amy has been such a blessing in my life. Ive been seeing her for Arvigo work and prenatal work and I feel so lucky to have her. She is kind, supportive and so incredibly intuitive. I always feel better after seeing her, both because of the massage and because of the time she spends connecting with me and understanding where I am at in my body. The Arvigo work was instrumental in helping me work through some blockages around getting pregnant and the prenatal work has been amazing for my body and my mental health. Amy is a wonderful human being and practitioner! Go see her!

I have found much relief from the maya abdominal massages I have received from Amy. There have been a few interesting changes since getting my first maya abdominal massage and practicing the self-care massages on my own. Firstly, I am much more aware of my digestive processes and can tell when certain foods dont agree with me. I surprisingly have found myself getting better sleep, I tend to spend a lot of time in my head thinking about all the things I need to do, the abdominal massages seem to help keep me grounded and in my body. One of my concerns when I first booked the massage was that

Amy is a skilled massage therapist, and weaves her experience as a midwife, a massage therapist and a teacher of Mayan abdominal massage into providing a multi-layered approach to touch. In the beginning of the session she really takes her time to understand what is happening with your body. She is curious, strong and careful in her touch. In my time working with Amy, she has relieved symptoms of pelvic and abdominal discomfort. She has a gift of both exact knowledge of the body ,and an intuitive approach that weaves a beautiful fusion of care.

Amy's prenatal massages are wonderful! She has all the necessary pillows and equipment to make sure pregnant gals are comfy, which for me means face down ;) She has great intuition when to work the tissue deep and when to be gentle and soothing. Her experience with midwifery and Mayan abdominal massage qualifies her to give great advice and attention to the baby as well. It's such a great experience! I recommend it to all!

I worked with Amy from 20 weeks into my pregnancy until postnatal. She is an expert on Arvigo therapy and has trained many of the local practitioners. She was nurturing and incredibly knowledgeable on all things surrounding childbirth. (She was a midwife for many years!) She also does prenatal classes. I went to one on Anatomy and it was really informative.

Amy has been helping me with a prolapse issue for the past 4 months. She's an amazing resource--warm, capable, and professional. Her work isn't like any other massage you may have had. Grounded in years serving as a midwife, Amy "sees with her hands" and is able to directly support women's bodies like no one else.

I have been seeing Amy throughout my pregnancy and I cannot say enough about her work. Shes an amazing body worker and her techniques truly bring peace and ease to my pregnancy. As a retired midwife and extremely experienced message therapist I feel safe and supported in her sessions. She is incredibly positive and knowledgeable and she holds a very special space for women and the importance of self-care. I would highly recommend Amy over and over again.
