Founded by Melissa Haile, Moss North Therapy was inspired by 2 concepts:
The first, is this beautiful midwife's stone called Moss Agate. A centuries-old, traditional stone for doulas and midwives, this stone may be used during childbirth to manage pain and provide strength in times of stress. Its steady energies provide a sense of stability and groundedness by enhancing mental concentration, persistence and endurance.
The second concept is the forward moving direction, North. This direction represents earth, home, security and fertility.
