Your Calm in Chaos

Holistic Support for Every Family

Dedicated Birth Support

Hi, I'm Carisa, founder of On Your Side Birth and Bodywork. I am a full spectrum doula, massage therapist, holistic health adviser and homeschooling mother of four. I am passionate about supporting families through this time in their lives. My approach is based on education, informed consent, compassionate care, bodywork and nervous system centered support. I help parents feel informed, grounded and deeply supported during one of life's biggest transformations.

I believe birth is more than a medical event. It is a deeply personal human experience that deserves to be personalized, respected and nurtured. My work integrates massage therapy, acupressure, breathwork, pain management techniques, energy work, and evidence-based education to help reduce stress, build confidence and support healthy family connections.

My doula services are expertly designed to meet the unique needs of every family. With a focus on prenatal classes, birth support, and postpartum recovery, I am dedicated to ensuring you feel confident and informed throughout this monumental journey. Don't hesitate to reach out for details on services and pricing, or if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.
