Bonnie, a certified shiatsu and deep tissue therapist, Spinning Babies Aware practitioner, women's empowerment coach, and hypnosis practitioner, specializes in perinatal wellness for over two decades. Bonnie is trauma-informed and helps birthing people understand physiological birth and support their body and mind. Clients praise Bonnie's expertise, especially in turning breech babies, and her incredible prenatal massages. She is highly recommended for her dedication to her clients' best interests.
I've been having prenatal massages with Bonnie for both of my pregnancies, and her prenatal massages are so unique and helpful. But even better than being a great massage therapist, Bonnie is incredibly knowledgeable about all things birth and pregnancy, which made her an amazing doula.
I had the opportunity to work with Bonnie and her partner Karen for my second birth (they were not available for my first birth and I didn't have a doula then, and I ended up with an unplanned C-section) and I can't recommend them enough. I attempted a VBAC for my second birth, and it was an intense experience, but having Bonnie and Karen by my side made all the difference and perhaps the reason for my eventual success after being very close to having another failure to progress. They are very responsive, with you throughout the process, come visit your home to give lessons prior to your birth which also helps with preparing your home for the experience, come to your home again when you're in active labor but do not want to go to the hospital too early. They provided encouragement, guidance, and they're especially knowledgeable about the different birthing positions throughout the entire process. I don't think all doulas are capable of providing such critical support. It was an entirely different experience from my first birth when there were so many wasted opportunities to do something to help with progress. If you're considering hiring a doula for your birth, I highly recommend Bonnie and Karen – they are simply amazing!
We hired Bonnie as our Birth Doula after seeing her experience working with movement during labor and her massage expertise. I had a prenatal massage with Bonnie, and I recommend that as a part of birth prep. Bonnie supported us through my pregnancy- answering questions, giving resources, and recommending tools and processes for a smooth birth experience. She came to our home for a Spinning Babies session which was so helpful to learn in our environment where we planned to do early labor. We had an online class with Karen, and she helped us prepare for life with an infant. This started conversations for us beyond birth, and it was wonderful to connect with Karen prior...read full review
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to come here and let you know that Bonnie was my birth doula and I’m so thankful she was there for me because eso was finally able to have my dream birth of a uneducated birth and also of no tearing! I had very medically involved births with my previous three birth and this on was such a blessing thanks to Bonnie’s support and guidance. She also took amazing video and pictures of the birth 💕 I think what I loved the most was how she walked in the room and had a plan on what positions we could try just based on where I was at with dilation and my birth plan. I can’t recommend Bonnie enough!!
