Meet our Team of Experts

Every massage therapist develops a unique technical style and clinical expertise

Our team of massage therapists have been studying and practicing their areas of expertise for years.  As a massage therapist hones their skill, they find a style of working that is both sustainable for their body and deeply effective at delivering therapeutic benefits. 


Amy has a tempo like a waltz and powerful hands.  Her technical expertise is in trigger point therapy and Russian, which is great for clients who prefer firm pressure.  She also applies her knowledge and training as a doula in addition to her own research to inform her therapeutic approach.

 
Lena has a very gliding, spa like style.  With her years of experience attending births and her current studies as a midwife, she knows how important it is to calm the nervous system and support the body’s inherent intelligence in the experience of pregnancy and labor.  She lulls the nervous system releases tissue restrictions with her mastery of what massage therapists call “flow”.  It’s the quality of a massage that gives a sense of smooth connection between every motion and transition. 


Lindsay’s massage style calls to mind gentle lapping waves.  Lindsay’s background as a doula and yoga therapist inform her balanced approach to treating the entire being before her.  She will pay attention to the physical needs of a client’s current state of discomfort, and she also holds space for emotional or mental needs a person can have during this journey too. 


Rose has been providing massage therapy for 5 years, and has niched to focus on pre and post natal massage therapy in the last two years.  Her focus has been on repairing patterns of chronic dysregulation in the nervous system through movement, vocalizing, and therapeutic touch.  Her technical mastery is in lymphatic drainage and myofascial release.  Her style is a light to medium pressure designed to deeply relax the nervous system and let the body lead the release of restrictions layer by layer. 


 All four massage therapists have a foundational understanding in the most common tissue patterns and physiological processes that occur throughout the pregnancy and postpartum phases, safe technical strokes to apply, and contraindications that require adjustments.  This team regularly consults and trades with each other to continuously improve their ability to provide a therapeutic massage, balancing between what is typical and what is unique to the needs and preferences of each client.

Postpartum recovery in the U.S. has long been treated as an afterthought, something parents are expected to “figure out” once they’re home with a newborn. At Doulas of Utah , we believe postpartum care should be proactive, accessible, and deeply supportive. That belief is exactly how we’re revolutionizing postpartum recovery in Utah. Rethinking Traditional Postpartum Care Traditionally, postpartum care has focused almost exclusively on a single follow-up appointment at six weeks postpartum. But healing, adjustment, and emotional well-being don’t wait six weeks, and neither should support. Doulas of Utah takes a comprehensive, hands-on approach to postpartum recovery by meeting families where they are, starting immediately after birth. In-Home Support That Meets Real-Life Needs Our professionally trained postpartum doulas provide practical, in-home support that bridges the gap between medical care and real life. That includes overnight newborn care so parents can rest, feeding support without judgment, emotional check-ins, light household help, and education that empowers parents to feel confident instead of overwhelmed. Recovery isn’t just physical, it’s emotional, mental, and relational, and our care reflects that reality. Postpartum recovery shouldn’t be something parents survive. It should be something they’re supported through. Flexible, Inclusive Postpartum Support We’re also changing postpartum recovery by making support more flexible and inclusive. Families can choose daytime support, overnight care, short-term help, or extended contracts depending on their needs. We support first-time parents, growing families, high-risk postpartum situations, and parents navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma, all with the same level of respect and individualized care. Preparing Families Before Baby Arrives Another way we’re revolutionizing postpartum care in Utah is through education and preparation. Our team helps parents plan for postpartum before the baby arrives, setting realistic expectations and building support systems early. When parents know what’s normal, what’s not, and when to ask for help, recovery becomes smoother and far less isolating. Raising the Standard for Postpartum Doulas Finally, we’re raising the standard for postpartum care by investing in our doulas. Our team is professionally trained, evidence-based, and supported behind the scenes so they can show up fully for families. When doulas are supported, parents receive better care, plain and simple. Postpartum recovery shouldn’t be something parents survive. It should be something they’re supported through. At Doulas of Utah, we’re proud to be revolutionizing postpartum recovery in Utah, one family, one night of sleep, and one supported parent at a time.
