Prenatal Strengthening Series

Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting during Postpartum are big, threshold moments. Strengthening and exercise during pregnancy helps you meet the unique stresses and demands your body with experience.  ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) recognizes the benefits of exercise for you and baby.

We go over your hopes for birth and create exercises specific to preparing for this big event. The exercises also address the daily tasks and activities that taking care of baby requires.  This is all woven together to create a unique to you pregnancy strengthening and moderate intensity exercise experience that will help you feel better in pregnancy, encourage a smoother birth and prepare you for a thriving postpartum experience.

If you have experienced loss during your pregnancy and birth journey, a Grief and Loss During Pregnancy and Birth session will be the place to begin. https://emergewithamylepage.noterro.com/service/129601/grief-amp-loss-during-pregnancy-or-birth-somatic-session

Somatic Birth Processing

Balancing the body during pregnancy helps to release tension, stress and anxiety, creating more space and ease for you and baby. When one's body is in greater balance, the process of birth can be more efficient and the strategies for coping during labor can be more effective.  

During these sessions, you will be on a massage table receiving skilled, hands-on care that helps replenish and nurture you in the moment while also offering lasting impacts that prepare you for your birth and baby. 

Sessions will have a different focus based on your needs, from relaxation, to addressing specific places of pain or discomfort in the body, to holding space for all the thoughts and emotions that may be accompanying this pregnancy. 

Prenatal Somatic Sessions are excellent to receive once a month during your pregnancy as they help you become more present in your body. 

Near the end of pregnancy, sessions can be extremely helpful for gaining more comfort and focusing specifically on balancing your body before birth. 

If you find your birthing path includes an induction or external cephalic version (ECV), a bodywork session can help immensely with any anxiety (which creates muscular tension) that may be present as you anticipate an upcoming  procedure or birth. 

If you find your birthing path includes a planned cesarean-birth, schedule a Cesarean Birth Preparation Session.

Amy combines somatic bodywork with her trainings in Treating the Pregnant Body with Lynn Shulty of The Institute for Birth Healing and is also a Spinning Babies Aware® Practitioner.

90 minute session is $110 and is payable at the appointment. 
Meeting at 15 State St. - 3rd floor - Suite #303 - Elevator access available

You live in your own, unique body, with your own individualized habits and patterns. Your own histories, injuries, mindset, stressors, etc. All of this impacts how you move, how you breathe, how you feel - how you experience life.

Neuromuscular re-education (brain work), breath awareness, understanding how your body is built to move and experiential knowledge of interoception (ability to notice how one feels internally, "how am I") and proprioception (where one is in space) are keys to navigating our lives from a place of ease-fulness. They are the foundation needed to create change.

But first, you need to build awareness. How is your unique nervous system responding:  To immediate and long-term experiences? To Daily use patterns? To transitional times in life? To growing older? To coping with life’s ups and downs? To injury or pain?

Trauma-informed care and education. Effective, practical and empowering bodywork sessions.

Then, you will learn simple exercises that increase awareness and introduce supple coordination of these muscles.

Restore Your Sense of Core Private Session

Sleep evades many people for so many different reasons. In this private session you will receive a mix of deep rest, gentle movement & mindfulness strategies as well as mindset shift ideas to help you create a sleep habit routine unique to you. 

In this session you will also receive some hands-on bodywork - as the nervous system responds to gentle and supportive touch. When the brain receives the message that it is safe to release tension and relax, this helps the body shift from alert mode (fight, flight, freeze) into calm, rest, restore.

Learning how to down regulate your nervous system is a bridge needed to go from being awake to asleep. These strategies can be explored throughout the day - so your body and brain have time to practice releasing tension and stress on a regular basis - which in turn makes doing this before sleep a more understood and easeful process. These strategies will also help if you wake and typically can't fall back asleep.

You and your baby are two nervous systems interacting together. They are learning how to self-regulate through their interactions with those around them. As parents & caregivers, having strategies for helping ourselves calm and settle are just as important as learning ways to recognize the cues your little one is sending you as they are establishing their foundation of nervous system regulation. All parents  & caregivers of your little one are welcome to join - or you can come on your own - with or without your baby. 

We will spend some time exploring co-regulation tips with whoever is there and then we will re-group so you receive some hands-on support through somatic bodywork. If other folks are with you and baby, they can hang out in the back room or explore downtown Montpelier.

Move, Grow, Learn Group Class

1 month -  scooting and early crawlers welcome

You and your baby are two nervous systems interacting together. They are learning how to self-regulate through their interactions with those around them. As parents & caregivers, having strategies for helping ourselves calm and settle are just as important as learning ways to recognize the cues your little one is sending you as they are establishing their foundation of nervous system regulation. 

All parents  & caregivers of your little one are welcome to join. 

$10 - $15 Sliding Scale.

You're juggling a lot right now. If you've birthed your baby, you're also healing. You've probably heard how important it is to take care of yourself after birth or adjusting to having a new baby at home. You may be wondering "how the heck do I take care of myself right now?" 

This relaxed class setting is full of simple ideas for tending to you while you take care of your little one. You'll learn ways to connect with your baby, move your body for yourself, and connect with others who are on a similar path of parenting newborns. This is a zero judgement zone - completely welcoming to all and laughter, crying, feeding, diaper changing, sleeping etc.

Whether you have a lot going on with your pelvic floor or you are just curious and want to learn more about how to reconnect with and regain core stability, this class is for you.

What you learn:
- simple breathing tips to relax and strengthen and how to fit this into daily life.
- ways to build strength and stability incrementally - as you're ready
- the breath, pelvic floor & core connection
- posture: reconnecting your ribcage and pelvis
- how and why our daily use patterns matter (because many of them aren't helping us).
- things to be aware of about pressure and prolapse
- tips for leaking, scar tissue, pelvic pain
- Connection to our core is more than just physical - it's about emotional and mental wellbeing too

Other Details about this workshop:
* Come in-person without your little one(s)
* Join via zoom if you will have your little one(s) with you

Pelvic Floor & Core After Birth

Postnatal Somatic Bodywork Sessions focus on tending to you after crossing the threshold of labor, birth and caring for baby.  

Sessions are tailored to the individual and how far along postpartum they are. Early postpartum care is provided (in the first few weeks) and home visits may be possible depending upon location and with additional travel fee. ***if interested in a home session, please email instead of scheduling here: info@emergewithamylepage.com

Sessions encourage relaxation, rest, and reducing tension or pain symptoms, including pelvic pain. There is also the opportunity to bring in pelvic floor and core awareness, in addition to tips for helping yourself manage all the awkward body positions you may find yourself in - which lead to muscle strain (think shoulders, neck, back....). Space is offered for the processing of your birth experience as well. 

Come on your own. Come with baby. Bring someone with you to be with baby while you receive. This is a welcoming space for whatever configuration you need to feel comfortable receiving.

Postnatal Somatic Bodywork Session

Thursday, October 17th   ~   6 - 8pm  ~ $35
Blossom Wellness Center, 7 Main St.  Montpelier.    
Open to 8 Participants 


Have your kids spread their wings and ventured out on their own? Join this first gathering in our Life’s Big Transitions Series, where we focus on YOU as you settle into this new path of parenting: embracing what is no longer and all that is yet to be.  

Come together, find your breath, move your body, listen deeply to what is real for you in this moment. In the space of love and separation all experiences and expressions are welcome and held in a non-judgemental, welcoming container.  There will also be guided time for writing, sharing, listening and introspection as we offer community and support to explore you at this new threshold. 

During this initial gathering, we will acknowledge all that is, no matter how recently or how long ago you stepped into this part of your parenting journey. If you feel drawn to join the next offering - we'll will dive deeper into contemplating and cultivating the What's Next as you discover, embrace and thrive. 

This workshop is led by Amy LePage, Somatic Practitioner and Laura King, Life and Leadership Development Coach.  Amy and Laura met at an ElevateHer VT gathering and found their work passions intersected AND that they both were at the cusp of their youngest child heading out into the world. They knew there was a collaboration just waiting to happen around this, and other themes. Laura and Amy are each watching the amazing humans they brought into this world explore and discover themselves more, while also doing just the same themselves.  

Upon registering here, you will soon receive an email with payment information. 

 To ask questions and learn more, email Laura at: lauraking@columinate.coop

Exploring You Now That Your Kids Aren't at Home

Coping with Grief and Loss During Pregnancy & Birth is part of the journey for some pregnant people and families. Emerge offers somatic holding space sessions as one way of supporting people with the grief of loss in all its varying forms. Session may include hands-on healing, therapeutic touch, if this feels right to you.  If touch is not feeling quite right - there is space for being with all the emotions while also doing some movement and breath work along with holding space for any words that want to be expressed. 

The first session is offered on a free or  by donation basis. The amount listed is a suggestion, you donate what feels doable for you at this time.

If additional sessions are wanted they can be for 60 minutes or 90 minutes at the regular rate (with sliding scale options).

Grief & Loss During Pregnancy or Birth Somatic Session

Calling on the work of Amy Wright-Glenn of the Birth, Breath and Death Institute, as well as somatic skillsets, these sessions offer compassionate, mindful presence and a witness holding space for you. 

As you share what you feel moved to share, mindful breathing, deep listening, reflective sharing, tuning into body sensation, and offerings of movement and / or meditation are brought into the 50-minute session. 

*Holding Space Consultations are distinctly different from traditional mental health counseling.
* They are also different from the somatic bodywork 
* A scope of practice will be sent before your session so you know exactly what to expect.

Sessions are 45 minutes long.
