Birth Ready Bodywork
Roxy is a licensed massage therapist who specializes in prenatal bodywork. As a massage therapist, spinning babies aware practitioner, lamaze childbirth educator, experienced doula and prenatal yoga teacher she brings grounded confidence and expertise to her integrative approach to perinatal bodywork.
“My bodywork session with Roxy totally transformed my third trimester. She quickly identified and alleviated the areas exacerbating my pelvic pain more adeptly than any of the other massage and physical therapists I worked with throughout my pregnancy. During the session, we discussed my unique physiology in depth and she was able to offer immediate relief for the problem areas I’d been living with for months. Additionally, I emerged from the session armed with a ton of tools to continue the work we started independently (and with partner assistance) back at home. I am so grateful for the space that Roxy has created at Flow of Life; the practitioners’ understanding of the pregnant body is second to none and she taught me that pregnancy does not have to be painful! ”

Testimonials
“At 36 weeks pregnant, I learned that my baby was breech. I scheduled a bodywork appointment with Roxy during which she guided me through several exercises and educated me on different muscles and methods to create more room for baby. I practiced the exercises/stretches at home, my baby successfully flipped, and I was able to deliver her vaginally! I’m so grateful for Roxy’s kind, compassionate, and educational approach to her work. I can’t recommend her services enough!”
“ A massage by Roxy does the body wonders! I am 6 months postpartum and my body was KILLING me. But after a massage from Roxy I am feeling physically and mentally restored. From the time I laid on the table I was in a state of bliss. Roxy has an incredibly healing touch and she did some techniques I had never experienced before and it was heavenly. Her office ambiance is divine, her energy is so comforting, and her massage skills are top notch. Highly recommend! ”
“I loved Roxy’s communication, sharing, and knowledge of the body and innerworkings! It helped me relieve tension and find greater awareness in my body to prepare for birth. I am looking forward to continuing our sessions and strengthening my relationship to my body through the help of her alignments!”
“ I received a prenatal massage from Roxy and she did an amazing job! Often times I find practitioners hesitant to do any deeper tissue work on pregnant women, and have been left feeling under impressed with prenatal massages. This was not at all the case with Roxy! She has a lot of different tools in her kit, and is adept at knowing when to use which one. After the massage, in addition to feeling incredibly relaxed, I also felt like it was super productive in helping relieve my hip/ back pain. ”
