Cherish is phenomenal when it comes to postpartum healing. When I first met her I loved the…read morepositive aurora that was surrounding her. She made me feel at ease, comfortable, and can fully let myself go without judgement. I saw Cherish for postpartum services at home which she provided: Belly Binding, New Mama postpartum massage, counseling, and spiritual rituals. The new mama postpartum massage was amazing. Cherish even helped me massage my breasts where I wouldn't have any milk ducts clogged. My shoulders, hips, and just everywhere feels wonderful afterwards. When it comes to counseling or just having someone to talk to, Cherish, is a great listener and feedback. She listens to you and soaks it all in herself then would suggest or recommend some things that can be taken into considerations. I've purchased Tea 4 Two and boy do I love it! For breastfeeding Mothers who have trouble with their milk supply- let me tell you. This Tea worked for me. I went from pumping 2oz to 4-5oz each session. Hopefully this will work for you too! This tea is sweet and isn't harsh to take down. This tea also helps with soothing your nerves, mood stabilizer, and has the ingredient nettle leaf which promotes milk production!

She is clearly very experienced and was fantastic with our newborn son -- calm, confident, and incredibly gentle. We always felt like he was in the best possible hands. What really stood out was how open she was to feedback and how flexible she was with our family's goals and preferences. She listened carefully, adapted easily to our evolving routine, and offered thoughtful suggestions without ever being pushy. She was also consistently punctual and highly organized, which made a huge difference for us during an already chaotic time. We truly could not recommend Amanda more. The only downside is that we wish we could have kept her longer, but it's no surprise she books up fast. If you're lucky enough to get a spot on her schedule, take it!

She also offers consultations on Ayurvedic practices and looks at massage more as a way to maintain optimal health the Ayurvedic way than just a way to pamper us over stressed, over achievers. There is a lot of pampering as well, however.

I have chronic pain and have tried many different treatments over the years. Before seeing Audrey,…read moreI hadn't tried Craniosacral Therapy, but it had been recommended to me by several practitioners. I've done acupuncture, osteopathy, and neuromuscular therapy, all of which have been helpful in their own ways, but Craniosacral Therapy has been able to move the needle in areas that had remained stubborn. The work is gentle, but very effective. Audrey is incredibly attentive, caring, and thoughtful. She takes the time to carefully understand your history, listen to your concerns, and tailor each session to your specific needs. I always feel like I'm in good hands. I had chronic pain and cramping in my ribs, shoulder, and neck that completely disappeared after only a few visits. I still have a long way to go with the rest of my body, but I plan to continue treatment with Audrey for the foreseeable future. I'm very grateful to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone curious about Craniosacral Therapy or looking for a gentle, thoughtful approach to chronic pain.

Although the discomfort often appeared near my lower jaw, Audrey quickly identified that its source was actually in my ear. Through her gentle work, she released much of the pain, and I even drifted into sleep during the session. When I woke, I felt lighter, happier, and relieved--the pain had significantly subsided. Audrey's valuable guidance helped me make small changes to reduce strain on my ears, such as avoiding Bluetooth headphones. The entire experience was deeply healing. Audrey's energy is positive, safe, and filled with genuine care. I truly felt she had only my best interests at heart. She is a true healer.

My wife, Katie, and I thought passively that a doula might be something nice to have. We decided…read morethat with no family, or birth-experienced friends it might be a good idea. We were absolutely right. We decided to get both Tracie and Michelle Ogden-Stout - and they were fantastic at every step. Before the birth they gave us a crash course on birth, talked to us about fears, anxieties. Helped us with researching our options. When we were informed that Katie needed to be induced they sprung to action and helped us through a very difficult labor which ultimately ended up being heavily drug-induced. Since Katie's pitocin levels were cranked on her, she needed an epidural and due to some complications the baby was delivered via C-section. I'm sure I would have lost it without them, and I know Katie would have had a difficult time coping with the labor difficulties. It's been a week, and we're ever so slowly adjusting to life with a newborn. Tracie and Michelle keep tabs on us and are at the ready to find people to help us with any issues we might have. If you're thinking about delivering a child, definitely seek out the help of a doula if you can, and I think Tracie and Michelle would be a very good support team for you and your partner.

Tracie is AMAZING!! I used Tracie as my doula (for 3 births, including a set of twins) for…read morehypnobirth classes for baby 1, for private hypnobirthing sessions for baby 2 and for placenta pills for twins babies 3 & 4. So trust me this review is real and detailed. I can't say enough great things about my experience with Tracie. Baby 1- For my first baby I had planned to have an elective c- section but 6 weeks before the birth my OB told me she could not do it because I was not a good candidate and she did not want to give me an epidural or other pain meds bc I have very serious allergies. She was afraid I would have a reaction. So I totally panicked and freaked out! I did NOT believe I could give birth naturally. I am no earth mama and I wanted the drugs!! I found Tracie and she assured me from the first call that I could do it. She recommended hypnobirthing. I hired her and also signed up for her hypnobirthing class at harmony. I met with her several times before the birth and she assured me and helped me build my confidence that I could and would give birth naturally without any meds. I practiced the hypnobirthing scripts daily with my husband, and listened to the hypnobirthing cd she made me. My husband and I felt really confident after the 6 week classes finished. When the big day came, she came and was amazing from the moment she walked in. My labor was only 8 hours from start to finish and it was beautiful! Everything I could of dreamed for in a birth in a hospital. Even the hospital staff were very supportive and other doctors were peaking in to watch a hypnobirth. They totally respected the silence and I didn't even know they were there until afterwards. Baby 2- this was like a bullet labor full of panic and chaos- 2 hrs start to finish and there was no way to hypnobirth even though I had practiced and prepared. Tracie warned me early on that the second baby could be fast. She came right away and when I had the urge to push after only 1 hour she called the hospital and got us off right away. I almost had the baby on the freeway on the way to the hospital and when I got to the hospital the staff wouldn't believe I was far enough to push. Tracie was firm with them to get them to get their sh*t together. I was panicked, wild eyed, & freaking out that my husband was parking the car. The staff did not want to wait for him but Tracie made them wait. She was telling me not to push (which is impossible) but Tracie helped calm me, steady me bc I was so scared, and she guided me in breathing so that I could hold the baby in. When my hubby came Tracie said ok we are ready and everyone followed. Pushed twice and baby 2 was out. Baby 3 & 4 - the TWINS! Twins have to be in the operating room at kaiser. The whole meds thing was complicated bc they force you to get an epidural line even if you want to do it natural. By this time I knew I could do it without any meds and now was very fearful of having something injected in my spine . Tracie encouraged me and gave me the confidence to be firm with my drs. The doctors has come up with a plan to give me a spinal tap when I was already in labor. Tracie said no and helped me talk with them to nix that. We all agreed on an epidural line with no meds. She insisted with the dr that my labor would be lightening fast and that I would not need meds. She was right. Labor with twins was 2.5 hrs start to finish. Tracie was with me until they took me to OR. First baby came out in 20 minutes. Then labor stopped completely. No one tells you that with twins labor goes away after the first baby comes out and you have to wait. Baby B was stuck and they had to give me a test dose of epidural meds that last 1 hour so they could manually move the baby (which hurts like heck). Then I said no more meds and they turned it off and I pushed naturally. Tracie did a placenta tincture with the twins placentas (or the parts they gave me bc kaiser wouldn't release all of it). This helped with the wild hormone changes after the birth of twins. Everything about my experience was fantastic. Even in chaos she was super calm. Even with pushy doctors or staff that just wouldn't listen she was firm and insistent but very polite with everyone. My husband and I are eternally grateful to her for making each birth perfect! You will not regret hiring her and if you have more kids she'll be your go to doula!

After our session...wow....things have been amazing!! I went back to doing keto. Effortlessly and feeling satisfied. With everything going on in my life I had taken the month off and really couldn't get back on. My classes have been so beautiful. The facilitation has been so on point.
