Beth Fessenden
“The BEST massage! So happy to have found Beth. I will be back monthly for sure!” Angela W.
“Beth is very calm, suggested various positions and provided steady, graceful support throughout the active labor and birth process. Some of the techniques she encouraged me to use were different positions. She also suggested various breathing techniques that proved extremely helpful. All the while, she maintained her calm and supportive manner which was so important to me.” Kara A.
