Infant Massage & Bodywork For Latch
Culturally centered healing through touch
​1:1 Private Infant Massage
(In Home or Virtual Massage)
​
At The Milk & Honey Co., I believe and support healing after birth as a sacred rite-one that deserves tenderness, tradition, and intentional care. I offer culturally rooted postpartum and infant massage bodywork practices to help new mothers and birthing people and their babees restore balance after the intensity of childbirth.​​

Sacred Rest and Recovery For You and Your Babee
​
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your newborn’s endless crying, sleepless nights, or tummy troubles? Do you long for a way to soothe your babee while strengthening the precious bond you share? Your babee carries the story of their birth in their body too. Gentle, nurturing massage provides a way to release tension, promote bonding, and encourage nervous system regulation-especially after a challenging or traumatic birth. Our sessions help babees who may struggle with:
​
​​
✨ Difficult latch or feeding issues
✨ Fussiness, gas, or sleep disruptions
✨ Tension in the jaw, neck, or body from long labors or interventions
✨ Emotional disconnection or overstimulation after a traumatic birth
✨ Provide sensory input for cesarean birth for better feeding​
