About me
Welcome!
I am Callie and I am here to provide folks in the LA area with expert level care before, during, and after their pregnancy. I graduated from Cortiva Institute in Chicago in 2013 and spent a year practicing there before making my way to Los Angeles. My early career was focused in chiropractors’ offices where I learned to apply well tailored pressure to anyone on my table. In 2018, I received my perinatal massage certification through Carole Osbourne and have worked with pregnant and postpartum people since! I continued to hone my perinatal skills working with Sparrow Harrington at Sparrow’s Nest in Pasadena. I consider it a privilege to be a part of people’s pregnancy journeys, at whatever stage they find me and we begin working together. I am based in the neighborhood of El Sereno in North East LA but am happy to travel to anywhere in the LA area. I am looking forward to working with you!
Massage expertly tailored to your body’s needs
My services
Therapeutic Massage
Massage for anyone, whether you have an injury to address or need time to relax and rejuvenate, my pressure is customized to fit your needs.
Prenatal Massage
Session tailored to your specific needs at any stage of pregnancy. I prioritize your relaxation and well being using a comfortable bolstering system to make sure your body is well supported during your massage.
Postpartum Massage
Designed to aid in your birth recovery and soothe aches associated with physical strains of childcare. No matter what type of birth you experienced, this massage is meant to help you recover and feel relaxed. I am also happy to provide C-section scar massage as soon as you’re fully healed.
Housecall Massage
All the benefits of massage brought to your home. I bring all the essentials, I only need enough space to set up my table. I am happy to travel anywhere in LA but any session booked that is outside of a 15 mile radius will incur a $50 travel fee.
Mercier Therapy
A targeted, deep massage technique focused to the uterus, ovaries and surrounding ligaments. All work is done externally and is helpful for those with painful periods or those wanting to prepare their bodies for pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions
-
I do not accept insurance but am happy to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance.
-
Your first massage will begin with a short consultation to discuss your health history and goals during your treatment. I will step out and you will undress to your comfort level and get on the table under the sheet. I practice proper draping for all of my massages to ensure your privacy. I will check in on pressure during your session but if at any point you would like more or less pressure, I am happy to adjust.
-
Yes! It is safe to receive massage in the first trimester, in fact most people can greatly benefit from the care and relaxation during this time. Many establishments will turn pregnant people away during the first trimester because of liability reasons but there is no evidence that massage increases the likelihood of miscarriage.
You can receive prenatal massage at any stage in your pregnancy, up through and past your due date.
