Hello world!

My name is Bryn Riekstins (she/they). I am a bodyworker trained in pregnancy and baby massage, and craniosacral therapy.

I am a passionate birth junkie who had devoured everything the public library could offer on pregnancy and childbirth by the age of 13. I trained as a doula under the wonderful Penny Simkin as a teenager, and later attended Seattle Massage School with a focus on pregnancy massage. I have trained as an infant massage instructor and childbirth educator, and spent several years as a volunteer lactation counselor before beginning my practice supporting newborns and infants with craniosacral therapy. I spent a decade working with babies in the northwest, and also studied how this gentle modality can help with many of the common discomforts of pregnancy as well as assisting in optimal alignment for birth.

I am now seeking some professional certifications through Birthing From Within, and looking to connect with more pregnant and birthing folks to continue my education.
