ABOUT: I love helping mamas discover that the process of becoming and being a mother doesn’t have to be scary. Instead, pregnancy, giving birth and postpartum life can be customized to align with what they envision all stages of motherhood to be like. So many moms and moms-to-be feel afraid of the unknown and wonder if they are going to be able to handle pregnancy, labor and delivery, and recovery. But, what I know and believe is that mamas have so many tools and skills in their own power that can bring a healthy labor, delivery, and recovery for both mama and baby. For nearly 2 decades I have become a mom to 5 kids via multiple birth methods and settings, and also built a thriving women’s health physical therapy and coaching practice. In that process I has learned first hand that each mom’s journey from pregnancy to recovery is unique and can be full of joy and excitement, rather than fear.

• Aide in a sports physical therapy practice that housed the Detroit Red Wings and other professional athletes

ABOUT: Hi! My name is Hayley Lucius, I am specifically trained and certified to work with perinatal and pediatric populations. I care for women throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey, not only for comfort but to ensure baby is in the best position. Issues such as low back pain, sciatica, headaches, sleep difficulties, digestion, pubic pain, etc are some of the common complaints I hear from mom. I also encourage baby to be adjusted within the first week earth side. The birthing process is not only difficult on mom, but baby as well. Favoring looking to one side, breastfeeding difficulty, colic, reflux, and constipation are some of the issues parents come to expect with newborns. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can support baby and ease their transition into the world. I love what I do and I believe everyone can benefit from chiropractic care. I would be honored to care for you or your family!

ABOUT: I’m Morgan! I’m a wife, a mama to a sweet little boy and a total birth nerd. I believe birth is a beautifully designed rite of passage that pushes women into the deepest parts of themselves to find the strength they need to birth their baby and bring forth the mother they are destined to be. I hope to empower women to take radical responsibility for their birth by tapping into their intuition and seeking out ancestral wisdom.

ABOUT: Hello, my name is Grace, and I am certified birth and postpartum doula in Southeast Michigan. I attended my first birth at 10 years old when my sister invited me and my mom to the birth of her first daughter. It was such an incredible experience. I then stayed to help my sister for two weeks after the birth as she was healing postpartum. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was getting a glimpse into what a doula does. I absolutely love physiological birth – our bodies are amazing! It’s a joy to educate and support families; furthermore, I want to help families feel empowered as they experience one of the biggest moments of their lives. I look forward to supporting your family!

ABOUT: I’ve been coaching for 13 years, I’m a former gym owner, lifelong athlete, career fitness professional. I became certified to help moms coming into my gym pregnant or after babies.
