Hi, I'm Shannon! Working with parents during this vulnerable and memorable time is powerful. I want those I work with to feel nurtured, informed, safe and, embodied. I want you to relax feeling confident in the care you receive with greater knowledge of what your body needs.

Why I support pregnant people: I’ve been and RMT for over 20 years and have loved everything perinatal care right from the beginning! I graduated certified in prenatal massage here in Halifax in 2004 and have been dedicated to working with growing families during much of this time. I provide the support I wanted to receive! I have witnessed clients and colleagues receive incredible benefits from massage therapy for pregnancy and birth and, I had to have support from massage therapists who were doulas for myself. They were incredible! I had 2 different, very challenging but very empowering pregnancies and births which I credit to the knowledge, support and innate wisdom I had. I began at Halifax Prenatal Massage with Sara as a client and pregnant mama because I knew I was in skillful hands I could trust like my own. I am experienced in treatments for infants and children and love teaching parents to massage their babies. I have been providing labour support as a birth doula since 2011 and have trained as postpartum doula. I’ve gratefully conceived my babies after a decade of fertility challenges and IVF. Now I am certifying as a fertility doula to further support those on the pathway to parenthood. Along the way I’ve added massage for pelvic health (external only), hot stone massage and, have taught anatomy & physiology and treatments at a local massage therapy college. I volunteer providing peer support for lactation, and most importantly I’m a proud mother of 2 incredible little boys.
