Burping your baby may be unnecessary, and may have little to no impact on colic or the baby's tendency to spit up.

Welp, anyone who knows me knows I am not one to sit on an idea without action for too long sooo.... I'm going to be offering intraoral massage, anterior chest massage (including anterior rotator cuff, anterior thoracic/ribcage, diaphragm, and full chest/breast massage), and/or labor preparation release starting January 2024. In an unexpected and nostalgic turn of events I will be sharing a room back at my old stomping grounds and with some of my old room partners at Old Rainier Brewery.

In full transparancy.. this is absolutely a trial run. Intraoral massage was the very first additional training I received nearly immediately after completing massage school. 10 years ago. It was something I felt passionate about the minute I heard it was a "thing" and so frustrated that throughout my decade of TMJD no one had ever mentioned it. Surgery was mentioned before anyone mentioned soft tissue release as a treatment option!

During the pandemic I had a long bout of not offering it and by the time things eased up in pandemic land I was on the outs to massage retirement. Here's the thing though... There is a HUGE need for this service and not a lot of people who offer it. The pandemic and all that mask wearing mingling with anxiety made it all the more needed. I currently only have 1 day/wk availability, on Wednesdays. New clients will need to reach out to me directly to be added to the client list and then you can book. I expect availability to fill quickly as I keep long turn over times so availability will naturally be limited. I'll have a waitlist available if/when the calendar fills.

Evidence does not indicate that weighted infant sleep products are safe for infants.
