Nurtured Roots

04/16/2026

✨ COLUMBIA, SC and Batesburg, Aiken, Lexington areas!! ✨

It’s officially official! I am now accepting home birth clients in my own private practice! With both a rural office and one right on Main Street in Columbia, I am so pleased to be taking clients in both regions.

My midwifery care is rooted in trust in your body, your intuition, and your unique path to motherhood. I believe you know what’s best for you and your baby, and I’m here to support you with respect, options, and deep listening. You are capable of growing, birthing, and nourishing your baby, and I trust your ability to recognize when something doesn’t feel right. When needed, I offer holistic guidance to help you navigate with confidence.

I believe that touch is our first resource for healing and utilize fascia release techniques throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period to ease the transitions of motherhood. I believe touch is a human right and that bodywork can transform your experience of pregnancy and birth.

There’s something really special that happens when a mother feels it in her own hands.

In this session, her son wanted her close.
So while I worked with his lower body, I asked her to hold his head.

You can see the moment it clicks for her.
When she feels the shift.
When she realizes his body is responding.

That moment matters.

✨

I love teaching moms how to work with their own kids.

You don’t have to know everything about the body to notice when something feels off.
You don’t have to be an expert to offer your child something meaningful through touch.

You just have to be willing to slow down and pay attention.

✨

This is why I created Hands That Heal.

A space where you can learn how to understand tension in the body and begin working with it in a simple, effective way.

For yourself.
For your kids.
For your family.

I created something for mothers who want to bring healing back into their homes.

Hands That Heal: Myofascial Release for Mothers
A 3-hour immersive experience in Batesburg-Leesville on May 16.

This class was born from my own lived experience.

As a child, I fell down a flight of stairs and landed on my head.
The x-ray showed nothing was broken, but my body told a different story.

Over time, I learned that the body doesn’t just respond to injury with bones and tissue… it responds with holding.

With fascia that tightens.
With posture that adapts.
With patterns that stay long after the moment has passed.

Years later, I discovered craniosacral therapy and myofascial release and (finally!) everything began to shift.

Not because I was “fixed,” but because my body finally felt listened to.

✨

In this class, I will teach you the foundations of that same approach in a way that is simple, accessible, and usable in your daily life.

You will learn how to:
• Understand fascia and tension in the body
• Use simple myofascial release techniques
• Support your own body through touch
• Begin to offer grounded, safe touch to your children and partner

This is not about becoming a practitioner.
This is about remembering what your hands already know.

✨

I believe mothers are deeply attuned to the bodies of their families.

You don’t need special credentials to notice tension in your child.
You don’t need to be an expert to offer presence through your hands.

You just need guidance, permission, and a place to begin.

Healing doesn’t always come from outside the home.
Sometimes it begins in a mother’s hands.

Today’s women’s circle under the pecan tree was just how I hoped it would be!
The weather was perfect.
The babies were cute.
And the mamas were connecting.
We made lavender oil and chatted about birth, babies, and breastfeeding! One mama even brought her ring sling along to get some help figuring it out.
It’s turning out to be just what I envisioned and just what the community has been asking for!

Thank you to all who showed up. I’ll see you next month!

Join us next Tuesday for a morning of community and a lesson on belly massage!
Alongside our usual soup potluck (extras set aside for postpartum mamas in the group), I will be teaching a gentle belly massage flow. We will all get the chance to lay hands and practice on one another.
To finish up we will be creating our own lavender oil to take home.

This group and class is free of charge ❤️
So come out and get to know some local, likeminded mamas.

Message me for the address!

Imagine how you feel after along car nap.
Your neck was bent in a wonky way for several hours.
You arrive at your destination.
You stand up and stretch as high as you can.
You twist your hips.
You roll your neck.
Maybe a friend rubs your shoulders.
It takes a while, but you start to feel better.

Now imagine you’re a baby again.
You spend months with your head in your mamas hip.
You are curled up tight.
You’re trying to navigate your way out of here.
But the space is tight.
Mom’s pelvis and abdomen hold stories of their own.
When it’s finally time, you don’t have much choice.
Her body is squeezing you so hard.
And you just barrel through.
When you arrive you cry and cry.
You try to tell them about your neck.
About your crunchy shoulders.
About your tight hips.
But nobody knows what to do.
So you fuss at the breast.
It is hard for you to latch.
Because it’s all so tight.

That’s what I’m here for.
I come to you.
I listen to mom’s story.
I listen to baby’s body.
I lay hands and they unwind.
They release together.
I teach you what to do to help when I’m not there.
I give you tools to learn these skills yourself.

And suddenly that tight little baby is a noodle on the bed. His body relaxes and nursing feels much more possible now. ❤️

Babies need bodywork that addresses the whole picture. Once upon a time this knowledge was passed down from one generation to the to the next. We don’t have that anymore, but I really am happy to teach you.

I recently saw a post on Facebook where someone asked a mom why she would choose to birth at home without a doctor present.

This quote from Heart and Hands answers it pretty simply, though I’m sure moms that have done it all have their own reasons.

What were yours? ✨

I'm really excited to have some package listings live on my site now!

The Nesting Box office space is coming soon with plenty of parking, expanded scheduling, and a serene, quiet environment, it’s a place to rest, breathe, and receive gentle craniosacral support away from the demands of daily life.

Craniosacral therapy for moms and babies in Columbia, SC—promoting healing, relaxation, and connection with Nurtured Roots Midwifery.

That release you’re seeing?
It isn’t something I did.

It’s what happens when a child’s body feels safe enough to let go.

Craniosacral therapy meets kids exactly where they are
honoring consent, autonomy, and the wisdom of their nervous systems.

This work is quiet.
But it’s powerful.

🌱 Root to Rise Mothers Group 🌱

A soft place to land.
A circle of mothers.
Babies at the breast, soup on the stove, and community at the center.

We meet the first Tuesday of every month, 10–12, at Water’s Edge Church in Lexington to gather, connect, and support one another; especially through the breastfeeding journey.

Each month we share a community pot of soup 🤍
What we don’t eat together is lovingly saved and delivered to postpartum moms, because care should extend beyond the circle.

Come as you are.
Feed your baby.
Feed yourself.
Let yourself be held by community.

✨ All mothers welcome ✨

‘Just in case’ could be the reason you choose to head to the hospital for your first birth… but here’s the thing: birth isn’t an emergency until it actually is. 🤷🏼‍♀️
Most of the time, it unfolds normally and beautifully when left undisturbed. And midwives are REALLY good at sitting on their hands until needed.
Home birth midwives are trained to recognize when extra help is needed — and to act quickly if it ever is.
We can get a bad rap from some folks that think we are out here with only a pot of boiling water and some crystals. While I may or may not employ those tools as well 🤪 I also carry meds and equipment to take care of mom and baby at home, if there does happen to be an emergency. And none of the other interventions that are often a part of the cascade that causes “birth emergencies” in other settings.
You deserve to know your options, not just default to fear and programming. ❤️

During our very first session this little bub was so tense he could hardly leave the breast for a moment.
We did releases in mamas arms, while he nursed.
Today’s session he was a new baby!
His mama opted to have his oral ties revised,
And I get to help him unwind even more. 🥰
We got lots of smiles and so much tension relief.
By the time our home visit was complete, he was in a little daze.
Body work after revisions (or any procedure) is so important to help the body integrate.
Check the link in my bio for more information on Craniosacral therapy and how it can help you and your babe. ❤️

Thanks
