Maternity Wellness

Pilar’s unique approach to maternity care really stands out from other providers and practitioners. She uses her skills as a Mother and Practitioner (thoughtful listening and caring), Ordained Priestess (witnessing and holding sacred space), Ayurvedic Specialist (body/mind/spirit coaching, nutritional support, herbal healing), Master Massage Therapist (tuning in to patterns held in the body and releasing, trained in multiple forms of prenatal massage, Arvigo Maya Abdominal massage). She has over 25 years of healing work and helping people find balance, she brings all of this to each of her clients. She has been working in natural birth and holistic prenatal care since 2012. She is a full Spectrum Doula (birth, abortion, miscarriage) and Postpartum Doula. Her knowledge of the body and its magical transition through the childbearing year is vast and deep.

Each visit includes a check-in; a time to ask any questions you may have about your health or your birth, prenatal massage (tailored to your specific stage of gestation) and any herbal or other recommendations. Pilar’s clients see great results in physical health, vaginal birth, (physiological or medicated), postpartum recovery, breast feeding and infant bonding. Pilar’s maternity care is centered around each individual mama and their needs. She focuses on empowering each woman to make the best decisions for the birth they want. She helps women and their partners prepare for postpartum in an informed way.
