Mother Touch for empowered births
Holistic Treatments for Pre-Pregnancy, Pregnancy, & Postpartum Moms
(and their Families)
“When you become pregnant or are trying to become pregnant it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with the amount of information and choices available on the internet and offered by family and friends. You know you want to have the healthiest baby possible—but how do you know what is worth your time and investment, and what is right for you? I have had 3 children and I have worked with thousands of pregnant and postpartum women for over 25 years. Not only have I have learned a great deal about what works and what doesn’t, but I have also learned that every human being is unique and every pregnancy, birth, and postpartum parent has their own specific intentions, desires, and needs. I meet my clients where they are, and we work together to get to where they want to be.”
-Michele Pedersen, LMT, Holistic Health Coach, Fertiltiy, Prenatal & Postpartum Specialist
