Little Flower Birth Year — Local services in Boulder

I am so grateful for Hanako! She gave me massage throughout my entire pregnancy. Every two weeks and then every week! Baby navigated my pelvis effortlessly because of the work Hanako and I did. I feel so blessed to have had a comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy and a pleasurable natural birth that was free of intervention! I have deep gratitude for the trust Hanako and I developed and for the healing that took place on my physical and emotional body. Having her support throughout my entire pregnancy created this incredible trust and vulnerability with her that was so crucial when it came time for her to be doula during the birth. It was an incredible experience with her. If your pregnant, I highly recommend you sign up for her full "Birth Year Experience" which includes prenatal massage, postpartum massage, skinship "bonding" coaching, birth coaching, instruction in infant massage and doula service. Through the power of skinship my partner and I deepened our bond together. When baby arrived my partner continued to offer me massage with techniques he was taught by Hanako.

A calm energy, knowledgable, with a good sense of humor. The doula services we have had are far beyond our expectations, and we feel so thankful we will have her support on the day we welcome our baby. This is our first pregnancy, and it has been a relief to have Hanako working with us, helping us find answers to questions we didn't know we would have and working with us to make this transition into parenthood an exciting, easy journey. Thank you Hanako, for being the passionate, open minded person you are, it shows in all of your work and all of the time you have shared with...

When I leave a session with Hanako, I feel an immediate improvement in my body. As someone with chronic hip and back tension, I have seen many practitioners and she has been the most effective at bringing softness and relief. What's amazing is that she can do a deep level of body work that is also incredibly gentle! She offers great expertise couples with the unique ability to hold a kind and supportive space, tuning into exactly what you need on that specific day. Plus, I love her hot stone massages...
