Your baby’s position matters, but so does the balance and comfort of the body carrying them. 🤍

As a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner and prenatal bodyworker, I work with pregnant clients using gentle, physiology-based bodywork designed to create more space, ease tension, and support balance in the pelvis and surrounding muscles.

This work can be especially helpful if your baby is breech, you’re preparing for an ECV, you’re experiencing discomfort, or you simply want to support your body as you prepare for labor.

Spinning Babies® follows the principle of “Balance Before Force.” Rather than trying to make the body do something, we listen to what your body needs and use breath, movement, positioning, and hands-on techniques to encourage greater balance and ease for both you and baby.

Every pregnancy and every body is different, which is why my sessions are personalized to where you are right now.

If you’re preparing for birth and would like some extra hands-on support, I’d love to work with you.

Bringing your baby home is the beginning of a new chapter, not the moment you're expected to have everything figured out. 🤍

The early weeks are full of love, but they can also be filled with questions, exhaustion, and big emotions. That's why postpartum support matters.

As your postpartum doula, I'm here to care for the whole family. Whether that means helping with newborn care, preparing a nourishing meal, supporting feeding, holding your baby while you shower or rest, or simply sitting beside you as you process this life-changing transition, you don't have to do it alone.

My hope is that you feel cared for just as deeply as you're caring for your baby. Because when parents are supported, the entire family benefits. 🌿

If you're expecting or recently welcomed your little one, let's talk about creating the kind of postpartum support that helps your family settle into this new season with confidence, connection, and a little more rest.

There are so many decisions to make during pregnancy. One of the most important is choosing who you want beside you when your baby is born. 🤍

As your birth doula, my role isn't to tell you how your birth should look. My role is to support your vision, help you feel informed, and be a steady, calming presence through every stage of labor.

From our prenatal visits and birth preparation to hands-on comfort measures during labor and support with your baby's first feeding, I'm with you every step of the way. I also make sure your partner feels confident, involved, and supported so you can move through birth as a team.

Birth is one of life's most meaningful moments. You deserve continuous care, compassionate guidance, and someone who believes in your strength from beginning to end. 🌿

If you're expecting in the Bay Area and looking for personalized birth support, I'd love to connect and learn about your hopes for your birth experience.

We carry so much stress in our bodies without even realizing it. Tight shoulders, aching hips, a stiff neck, or that lingering tension that never seems to go away. Sometimes your body is simply asking to be cared for. 🤍

My Swedish Deep Tissue Massage sessions are designed to relieve chronic muscle tension while helping you reconnect with a greater sense of ease. Using slow, intentional techniques, I work with your body to release tight muscles, improve mobility, and support your body's natural healing process.

Whether you're recovering from physical strain, managing everyday stress, or simply ready to feel more comfortable in your body, each session is personalized to your unique needs.

You deserve to move through life feeling lighter, stronger, and more at ease. I'd love to help you get there. 🌿 Book your massage today. https://www.ronitaprilv.com/massage-services-1

Your body is already doing something extraordinary. Sometimes it just needs a little more space, balance, and support along the way. 🤍

One of the things I love most about Spinning Babies® bodywork is that it isn't about forcing an outcome. It's about helping your body move with greater ease so your baby has the best opportunity to settle into an optimal position for birth.

Whether you're preparing for labor, navigating a breech baby, feeling tight or uncomfortable, or simply wanting to feel more connected to your changing body, these sessions are gentle, personalized, and centered around what you need.

Every pregnancy is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we'll focus on creating more comfort, more confidence, and a foundation that supports both you and your baby as birth approaches. 🌿

If you're in the Bay Area and would like to learn whether Spinning Babies® bodywork is right for you, I'd love to support you. https://www.ronitaprilv.com/spinning-babies
