Why Train with Me at Red Tent Womb School?
Why Train with Me at Red Tent Womb School?
Why Train with Me at Red Tent Womb School?
With nearly 40 years of hands-on experience in the hands-on wellness field, I bring a deep, intuitive understanding of women’s health, pregnancy, and birth to my Red Tent Womb School. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of giving tens of thousands of prenatal massages and abdominal therapy sessions. My hands have touched more wombs, pregnant bellies and sacra than most doctors or midwives, due to my specialized focus on the uterus abdomen and sacrum.
I’ve supported women through hundreds of births, listening to thousands of stories—stories of hope, fear, triumph, and transformation. Each story carries its own weight, and I’ve not only listened, but I’ve felt those emotions in the body and womb, understanding how deeply our experiences shape our physical being.
By training with me, you’re learning from someone who has spent years cultivating a holistic approach that goes beyond technique. My ability to listen, see patterns, and connect emotionally with the body is woven into every lesson. You’ll not only learn how to support the body, but also how to hold space for the emotions, the histories, and the traumas women carry.
Through my Holistic Abdominal & Reproductive Therapy (HART) training, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of women’s health, rooted in both critical thinking and intuitive wisdom. You’ll be trained in a way that honors the feminine experience, allowing you to bring compassion, awareness, and a deep sense of emotional connection into your practice.
Whether you’re working with pregnancy, postpartum recovery, or pelvic health, I’ll guide you in supporting not just the body, but the whole woman, mind, body, and spirit.
