I am married with three children and have lived in Dallas since 1994. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist with the state of Texas, a Certified Infant Massage Instructor and a CranioSacral Therapist.
While I do work with both men and women for sports, deep tissue and relaxation massages, I specialize in working with women throughout pregnancy, during their labor and post pregnancy. Additionally, I work with infants individually and teaching parents privately or in groups.
I have 10 years experience with Infant Massage and have been teaching classes to parents and caregivers in the Dallas area for 5 years. I teach a Mommy Massage class to parents at various locations in the Dallas area. I am also trained as a Birth Doula through Doulas of North America (DONA) and have worked as a Birth Assistant for local midwives.
My deep motivation to work with women and their infants during the childbearing years comes from my own unique experiences with pregnancy. I have had surgical births in hospitals and a natural delivery (VBAC) at a birth center and I understand the myriad of differences each experience holds for laboring mothers and their birth experiences. I’ve learned the value of massage and how educating families can empower them to have the best childbirth experience possible.
Staying connected to the circle of support systems in the Dallas area that promote health and well being for women and infants is a priority for me. It has been my personal joy assisting parents discover healthy, communicative touch with their children. It remains my privilege to help others discover the many benefits massage has for the body, mind and spirit.
I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you and your family, guiding you through your new family journey!
With warm blessings of peace,
Monica Hamer
