Hi, I'm Prairie

My deepest passion is caring for my new mothers and seeing women thrive. When I became a new mother, I needed so much care that I wasn’t able to ask for and wasn’t able to receive. It was a lack of knowledge, both intellectually and somatically.

​

I didn't know how to rest, I wasn't able to eat properly, and I didn't know how to ask for help. I crashed. I lived with unidentified postpartum depression and my immune system tanked. 

​

The more I shared my story with other women, the more I heard it echoed back to me. It was clear to me that there was a deep lack of understanding around supporting women and their families during this incredibly vulnerable time. 

​

​

​

That first birth was traumatic on my pelvic floor and my emotional landscape. Months of pelvic floor physical therapy wasn't alleviating my urinary incontinence and I was feeling less capable, less joyful, and less interested in sex as time went on.

​

I finally found relief from a practitioner who was both a Sexological Bodyworker and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. She used mindful touch intravaginally to allow the tissues of my body to tell their story, release, and find more optimal positioning.

​

By combining INNATE postpartum care, Sexological Bodywork, and Somatic Experiencing, I bring a unique set of skills to help newborn mothers find health emotionally and physically.  I am equipped to help your body recover from scarring and pelvic floor stress so that it may function more optimally.

​

I believe in your innate power. By listening deeply to your body- it's boundaries, its no's, its maybes, its yeses- by slowing down and feeling into the pauses, we can work together to release stored emotion, find relief from pain, and re-discover the foundation of your creativity and confidence.

​

I believe in your ability to heal. I believe that intimacy and connection are possible and vital during the postpartum time.
