Giving your baby a massage is often described as “relaxing.” And it is...

But it’s also SO MUCH MORE than that. tells us that she wishes all new parents knew this one thing.

Intentional touch can support many of the things new parents are quietly trying to figure out:

• helping a baby settle when they’re overstimulated
• supporting digestion and easing gas
• improving sleep
• bringing awareness to tight or tense areas in the body
• improving feeding

Episode 26 | Reframing Grief in Pregnancy & Postpartum with Alyssa Rose 🌿

Grief isn't just about death, and it doesn't have an endpoint 💛

In this episode, Emily sits down with Portland-based Grief Guide and Ritualist Alyssa Rose to explore why grief shows up in parenthood in such surprising ways and what becomes possible when we stop trying to reach the other side of it.

Alyssa weaves somatic bodywork, ritual practice, and deep grief literacy into her work, helping people move through loss in ways that build connection rather than isolation 🤍

This is a conversation we think every parent needs to hear 🎙️

Episode 25: You're Not Just Flexible: What EDS Really Means for Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum

A solo episode from me to you 🩷

If you've ever been dismissed, told your pain was "just pregnancy," or knew something was off with your connective tissue and couldn't get anyone to listen... this one is for you.

Hypermobile EDS affects up to 1 in 500 people — and most don't even know it. It's time to change that.

Babies deserve to know what’s about to happen to their body even before they have words.

We put all these in place to get the baby’s body ready for a massage:
• Auditory cues. Simply rubbing your hands together with the oil can be a great, natural signal!
• Visual cues. Making eye contact, letting them see your hands, slowing down
• Touch prep. Resting your hands gently before moving, giving their body time to respond

Then we watch.

Do they soften?
Do they turn toward you?
Do they engage?

That’s their version of consent.

When babies feel prepared, their nervous system settles.
They’re even MORE receptive, MORE relaxed, and MORE able to benefit from the touch.

This isn’t about doing a routine TO your baby.
It’s about doing it WITH them.

If you want to learn how to read your baby’s cues and confidently incorporate massage into your routine, join me for our Infant Massage Workshop.

We’ll walk through all of this together in real time, with your baby. Comment CALM and I’ll send you the link to sign up!

Postpartum IS a big transition.
Your body changes, your sleep changes, and quite literally, your WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD shifts.

But postpartum shouldn’t feel like you got hit by a truck for six months...

Ongoing pain, heaviness, leaking, or feeling like your body just isn’t working the way it should…
that’s not something you’re meant to just “”push through””.

There’s a difference between:
healing and struggling without support

Your body deserves more than “give it time.”
It deserves care, assessment, and a plan that actually helps it recover.

Postpartum can feel supported.
It can feel steady.
You can feel like yourself again in your body.

If something still feels off, that’s worth paying attention to.

If you want support that looks at the full picture — your body, your baby, and your real life — we’re here.

We offer support through our Beyond Birth Blueprint to learn how to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum trough our online community, home visits for therapies and local events, like our upcoming Infant Massage Workshop.

Ever wonder why your baby favors one side, has a flat spot, or struggles to latch? 🍼 The answer might have started in the womb.

Episode 24 of The Be Well Baby Podcast is here — Fine-Tuning Babies: Carol Gray on Fetal Constraint and Craniosacral Therapy ✨

I sat down with Carol Gray, a therapeutic bodyworker of 36 years, doula, former home birth midwife, and one of the leading experts in perinatal and infant craniosacral therapy. Health professionals travel from around the world to learn from her, and I am so honored to also call her my mentor.

We unpack fetal constraint: how limited movement in the womb quietly shapes a baby's body, birth, and development, and what you can actually do about it. Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or supporting families in your practice, this one is a must-listen.
