Meet Megumi
I created this video for my Becoming a Mama project.
My goal is to nurture mamas’ innate wisdom and the practical foundations essential to the nurturing, intuitive arts of birthing and motherhood.
I came to work with mamas through doula work. For two years as a doula, I supported families through birth and the transition to new familyhood. During this time, as I discovered that supporting moms is where my passion lies, my massage practice also increasingly became focused on supporting the journey to mamahood. Though I recently stopped doula-ing, I continue to support mamas through Dancing for Birth classes, Body & Spirit Care massage, and TENS rentals for birth.
I am involved in the local birth professional community, and am thrilled to be active in our Tri-cities (Fremont, Union City & Newark) branch of the Holistic Moms Network.
Training & credentials
I am certified as a massage therapist, Dancing for Birth instructor, doula and Holistic Health Practitioner, and hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology. My background includes supporting new families as a birth and postpartum doula, as well as over 1,500 hours of training in holistic health, bodywork, life coaching and leadership.
