Words from Compassion Tree Mamas

Five-star Yelp reviews!
“Megumi is one of those individuals you meet and are instantly put at ease and feel like you’ve known her for a really long time.”
My first massage with Megumi was a much-needed 90 minutes of relaxation and “me-time.” Megumi is one of those individuals you meet and are instantly put at ease and feel like you’ve known her for a really long time. She is compassionate and takes the time to really focus on your needs and wants.

I’ve also attended a few of the Dancing for Birth sessions which Megumi teaches. She is a great instructor, beginning and ending each session with each of us choosing pregnancy and birth related quotes and words. The Dancing for Birth sessions include a variety of dancing and stretches to aide with pregnancy and labor. I definitely used a few of those moves while experiencing contractions in anticipation of the new little one’s arrival.

“I felt great!! …I keep remembering that I deserve gentleness!”
The week after our bodywork session, I felt great!! Really energized, yet sensitive. The last part helped me to have a internal visual process for connecting with my baby. I’ve been using it when I get those feelings of ‘Is this real?!’ Then we connect and it’s SO real!!! Also the gentle pressure really helped me to appreciate more the benefits of acknowledging the subtle. And I keep remembering that I deserve gentleness! Thanks!!!

“These affirming thoughts, feelings, and images will be with me through labor, transition, birth, and beyond.”
Inner bodywork with Megumi borders hypnotherapy in the sense that some part of me goes away to discover something new. The only difference is there is still a strong sense of awareness. I know I am still “here,” still in touch.

In my first session, I had the chance to “meet” my baby Mateo. I came to him for an answer, a certain kind of comfort. Mateo embraced me and told me without speech, “Mom, I’m growing strong. Everything is as it should be: perfect.” It was a message only he could fully convey. I felt happy knowing he knew me already, the he could reassure me in this way. I felt liberated from chains of doubt, fear, uncertainty, and anxiety.

While my first session was about meeting Mateo with positivity, my second session was about togetherness. Megumi encouraged me to see and feel a stream of golden light connecting our hearts. I was soothed by this warmth. It was the ultimate reinforcement, with our “due date” drawing near.

My prenatal bodywork sessions with Megumi serve their purpose, without question. I feel good knowing I can visit Mateo anytime I want or need to; that this golden light pulses between us every second; that we stay strong and healthy in mind, body, spirit; and that these affirming thoughts, feelings, and images will be with me through labor, transition, birth, and beyond. Together, Mateo and I build.

Thank you Megumi, for sharing with us your extraordinary sense of intuition through bodywork!
