Pregnancy or Postnatal Massage with Damaris.
I have a passion for learning and collecting new experiences along this journey we call life!
On my journey I have been blessed to be accepted into homes of strangers who became friends and experience their generosity and love, as well as the stories of their life challenges and success; none more so than from the friendships I have made in Australia since arriving here in 2016.
While their cultures and norms may differ from mine and from each other, one experience remains a constant - and that is their journey into motherhood.
Every mother I have helped as a midwife or doula, or spoken to as a friend, tells a story of how they received encouragement, care and support (adequate or not) from the health system and their community when they were pregnant but felt lost and overwhelmed after the baby was born.
I see an overwhelming need for pregnant women and new mums to receive personal and holistic support. I love coming alongside mums and their partner on their individual journeys into motherhood.
I started incorporating Massage into my work in 2013, and since then Massage has played an important and beneficial role in the way I support both pregnant and new mothers.
I am a certified therapist through Pregnancy Massage Australia and I look forward to meeting you and supporting you with bodywork in Pregnancy & Postpartum.
