A hands-on practice of the active labor options, created at the request of the Fathers-to- be, to be able to feel more supportive during the birthing process. Practicing supportive holds, becoming familiar with your breathing rhythms, allows both of you to get a sense of timing for the process. The rehearsal lets your body memory guide you once actual labor begins. Both women and partners have said that they feel confident and more at ease entering into labor, having done the rehearsal.

Reiki is the Japanese word that means "universal life energy". It is an ancient energetic healing technique to balance and harmonize the body, mind and spirit.

The hands of the practitioner cover the major areas of the body slowly allowing the life force energy to channel through and be received by the client for healing.

TESTIMONIES
I have been seeing Cheryl for massage therapy for at least 10 years. She has helped me through a few pregnancies and postpartum periods, injuries, and anxiety. Cheryl is skilled in many different complementary techniques, including cupping and myofascial release, and her massages are second to none. Cheryl's massages have been one of the most effective coping and recovery mechanisms that I've used for a bulging lumbar disc and a tailbone injury. I have to sit a lot for my job, and her massages help to counteract the discomfort caused by excessive sitting. I highly recommend Cheryl Bernardi for massage therapy.

Cheryl is amazing for prenatal massage and helping to keep me calm, pain-free, and relaxed throughout my pregnancy! She's also an awesome yoga teacher!

Cheryl, you not only made my pregnancy physically bearable, but were vital in giving us peace of mind after the birth with your wisdom and calm manner,. You were an absolute angel when we really needed the support and we won't ever forget how much you helped us!
M.B.
Thank you so much for the prenatal massage for me and baby. I thank Beloved God for women like you who support and nurture women like me, doing our best to birth happy, healthy babies!
I am so grateful for you.

I want to thank you for the wonderful massages, Cheryl. My body responds well to your methods, and I have a lot less pain. With so much gratitude,

I met Cheryl many moons ago when she offered pregnancy yoga as the first yoga instructor in town to do that. I was pregnant with my first child and then my second child when I followed her group pregnancy yoga classes. Over the years I got to know her other talents and services like massage therapy and specialty cupping therapy. Cheryl is an experienced massage therapist and I have been going to her for years. She is caring, professional and I can only recommend her.
M.H.
Cheryl is top of the line in her field of practice. She has a good knowledge of the body and has had extensive world travels that have contributed greatly to her calming and grounded energy. I have been in this field of practice for over 25 years and rarely do I find someone who I give repeat business. Not only is her space beautiful, but also extraordinarily clean and safe. So very happy that I found this therapist/healer. I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone looking for an educated therapist who is mature, with excellent quality and caring.
D.B.
I have attended two prenatal yoga classes so far and wow! I feel amazing after I leave! Cheryl is so sweet and knowledgeable! It’s beginner friendly and she gives each of us the right amount of attention (she even provides additional at home exercises to cater to your needs). In addition, she gives so many tips and lots of information on pregnancy and delivery!
K.G.
My husband and I have been receiving massages of all types with Cheryl for many years. From raindrop, deep tissue, Swedish, neck and shoulders, reflexology etc. you name it Cheryl is not only well trained in all types of massage but has that extra something special that cannot be taught. This comes from experience and being intuitive with respect to what her client needs. Her knowledge of the human body is astounding! My husband and I both agree we would not be able to do half the things we do if it weren't for the expert care we have received from Cheryl for the last 10+ years. Cheryl is a true professional in every way! She always goes above and beyond to help people. You will not find a better therapist in this area "hands down!" Make your appointment today!
S.F.
Thank you Cheryl for your personalized unique approach, you were able to pinpoint the cause of my issue and improve the condition of my knee joint in one session!

If any pregnant mamas are looking for an amazing prenatal massage experience
Cheryl Bernardi at
LifeBehold for Pregnancy and Birth
is the way to go. She had the proper accommodations to have a massage lying face down that helps with lumbar release. Best massage experience thus far both while pregnant or not, the pressure and attention to problem areas has been like no other. Check her out.

I wish I would’ve known about this when I was pregnant with my first child! Cheryl is absolutely wonderful, and I ALWAYS feel like a million bucks after her sessions. She is very sweet & really knows what she’s doing! If you are having certain areas of concern or pain, she will use different techniques to help with those problem areas. M.R.
