Welcome to the Massage-Doula Newsfeed!

Almost everyday, I wade through my Google alerts for articles related to massage, birth, doula, and childbirth. A lot of it is frankly crap. However, some articles I think would be very useful, and so I've been kicking around the idea of starting a blog where I'd post the good stuff, so other people wouldn't have to make the wade!

My posts will have a slightly Seattle-area bent--since that's where I live. It's also where I'm taking a Maternity and Infant Massage Specialist course at Cortiva Institute - Seattle. The course covers pregnancy massage, a DONA doula class, post-partum massage, advanced pregnancy massage, and a teaching infant massage class. My main goal is to promote healthy and purposeful touch within families, as it is an undervalued but important basic need for optimal growth, development, and the feeling of well-being.
