ABOUT ME
Rhode Island Prenatal was created to empower the women I serve.
I believe that the work I offer you is so beneficial to your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
I believe that once the body is aligned it has an amazing ability to correct so many of the ailments that are common in today’s busy world.
I believe that you are worth the investment of time in yourself.
I believe in You!
My career began in the legal field over 25 years ago. My favorite part of working in the legal field, and now the massage field, is the interaction with my clients. I thank you for trusting me with your time. Massage is an intimate exchange between provider and receiver and as such trust and comfort is my number one concern. People feel comfortable with me and I am honored that you have decided to spend this time with me.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Paralegal Studies from Roger Williams University and graduated from Bristol Community College with a Certificate in Therapeutic Massage Therapy. I obtained my Massage Therapy License from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 2014 and since then have provided thousands of massages to a wide variety of clients. In an effort to continually grow as a therapist and healer I love attending seminars and training. I have been so fortunate these past few years to train with some of the best therapist and teachers in the world.
Expertise:
In 2018 I opened Believe Bodyworks Massage For Women. After taking a lacluster and uninformed prenatal massage class I knew we had to do better. And so Natick Prenatal was formed. In December of 2025, I expanded my practice to Rhode Island Prenatal. I have been fortunate enough to train personally with Carole Osborne, Claire Marie Miller, Rebecca Overson and Elaine Stillerman. All are leader (and legends) in pregnancy, post-natal massage therapy and the care and support of women. I have over 100 hours of hands-on prenatal and post-natal massage training when most therapist may have taken a one day online course. I am always learning and always gearing up for my next certification.
Small Business Support:
I am an independently owned small business. By receiving my services you are supporting small business, which is so important to the local economy. I do not believe in selling memberships and there no pushy sales people. Any products which I offer for sale are some of my favorite things, that I truly find beneficial.
Our Promise:
At Rhode Island Prenatal you will be heard and understood. We aim to make your experience exceptional. We are able to offer you a relaxing safe space in which to totally relax and release the stress of your daily life. There is a large buffer between appointments which means we don’t schedule back to back appointments so you are never rushed out the door (as is typical in most massage chains).
Most importantly, you should visit Rhode Island Prenatal because YOU are an important part of my success, not just a name on my schedule.

Why Choose RI Prenatal?
I have safely performed 1,000's of prenatal massages to the women of metrowest Massachusetts at my studio, Natick Prenatal Massage. Many of my Natick moms are returning for their 2nd and even 3rd pregnancies. I believe that both education and experience are necessary to perform prenatal massage. While Rhode Island doesn't require any training, other than a massage license, to offer Prenatal Massage I have invested over 150 hours of in-person hands of training with leaders in the prenatal and postpartum massage world. I have traveled across the country, and do so on a regular basis, to bring you the best care.
