Kahuna Bodywork & Doula Support


Pregnancy

As a full spectrum Doula and Bodyworker I can accompany you while you’re trying to conceive, throughout pregnancy, birth and/or postpartum.

Caring for women, people, and families has always been a part of my life, a passion, which I turned into my profession.

Doula Support

Bodywork is my specialty, but I understand that not every woman likes to be touched or worked on during pregnancy. Either way, the relationship between you and your Doula is built on trust, which is essential for supporting you through this journey. By establishing this foundation, you can grow your baby knowing you are supported, set the stage for a satisfying birth, and gain the strength needed for the postpartum period.

I’m happy to walk with you and

  • understanding what’s important to you

  • helping you gather all the information you need to make informed decisions

  • learn how to navigate the system

  • calming the nervous system to connect you to your own inner strength

  • support you and your family during postpartum

  • have fun, while your growing your family

The majority of my clients have been expats who are not familiar with the German healthcare system and may have a language barrier, single moms, and women who have had unsatisfactory or traumatic birth experiences in the past.

Please contact me directly if you are seeking Doula support for a personalized care package tailored to your specific needs.

 

Hawaiian Massage

Bodywork can support you through the particular aches, pains, and stresses of modern pregnancy. Ka Huna bodywork and Lomi Lomi massage have traditionally been used to support transition and change in a woman’s life, making these practices particularly powerful in accompanying you on your journey into motherhood. As a specialist in pregnancy massage, I use a specifically designed pregnancy massage table that allows you to lie comfortably face down. This enables me to work on the back, shoulders and arms, back of your legs, while you can safely enjoy lying on your belly.

 Bodywork massage can support you with:

  • Relief of backache, and general soreness

  • Stress relief (especially if you’re having fertility treatments/issues)

  • Treat issues with water retention

  • Work on posture to help prepare your body for birth

  • Relieve join pressure

  • Reduce stretch marks through increasing circulation and skin elasticity

  • Help you trust in your body to do what it can naturally do

And of course, we access the wisdom of the traditional Ka Huna method to work with pregnant women. Get a sense of that magic and be empowered during pregnancy and upcoming birth.

I’m happy to offer this treatment to woman from 14 weeks onwards. When you book in, please let me know how many weeks pregnant you are, and if you’ve had any problems with this pregnancy or prior ones.

If you’re unsure you can always check with your doctor that massage is safe for you before booking in.
