Introduction
Heather Wamsley (She/her)
Over the last 13 years, I have dedicated myself to studying and practicing birth work, herbalism, massage and craniosacral therapy. After becoming a mother, I realized that for years I had given so much focus to pregnancy and birth, that I had unfortunately overlooked the essential care necessary during postpartum. I became a doula to help provide a more well rounded care to individuals in all 4 trimesters of their parenting journey .
I've always viewed education as a lifelong pursuit . Over the years, I have poured myself not only into studying, but also working and practicing these principles of care. When I incorporate these elements while working with others, it is with great consideration and a deeply nourished background.
It is vital to note that I am NOT a doctor or physician. So, with any supplements I may be able to suggest, it is always best to check with your physician about any herb/drug interactions or medical concerns.
