Fertility Massage and Preconception Support
⌓ Phoebe is a rare gem: exacting, wise, skilled, and regularly deepening her understanding of the modalities she practices. Her work is always thoughtful and thorough and incredibly therapeutic. She is a really special practitioner with knowledge on fertility, digestive, and pelvic health, including invaluable preconception, prenatal and postnatal work and support! Her body work that transcends the ordinary scope of clinicians and encompasses the vast connections between muscle, mind, and emotional life.

⌓ Phoebe has an amazing touch for the Mercier Therapy that made me melt more so then a traditional full body massage! I learned valuable ways to release tension in my own body at home, along with self care practices for fertility. Phoebe is also a wonderful Doula with lots of insight & widsom. This is a lovely partnership on the trying to conceive journey, which mine happens to be using assisted reproductive technology, so the support has been a huge stress reliever. I highly recommend!

⌓ What can I add that already hasn't been shared by many others who've been on the receiving end of Phoebe's care and wisdom. I found Phoebe by searching for practitioners in the area who practice Mercier therapy as I continue on my fertility journey. She offers split payment options if necessary, which is so helpful. Phoebe is such an effective, gentle, comforting communicator - both reaching out, seemingly at just the right time, and always welcoming me to reach out whenever needed. Her Mercier therapy program is incredible, and that's only a portion of her knowledge, skillset, and care she offers over the course of multiple sessions. I'm always left grasping for words of gratitude, as I depart each session feeling deeply nourished and cared for physically, mentally, and spiritually.

⌓ Phoebe is a gem of a healer with a gentle, welcoming and wise demeanour. Her knowledge and expertise of the body is vast, comprehensive, skilled and comforting. I felt seen, held and supported through our body work session and also experienced the Mercier technique for the first time which was mind blowing. I can't recommend her enough!
-Christian, Highland Park
⌓ I could not be more grateful for this experience. The space is beautiful and calming, instantly putting you at ease then Phoebe herself has a very gentle manner that makes you feel heard and welcomed. She listened to my objectives, provided some thoughtful recommendations and then explained what to expect from the pelvic massage. I could feel the benefits instantly from her work, and that feeling lasted long after I had left her office. I would definitely recommend to others, particularly those on a fertility journey, and am looking forward to my next session.

⌓ Phoebe creates such a safe space for her clients. During our pelvic health sessions I always felt heard, supported and at peace. Being introduced to Phoebe has been such a gift to my body and well being.
-Taryn, Los Angeles
⌓ I expected to experience hands on healing for parts of my body that I knew and did not know needed it, especially for my womb space after the abortion. Coming to see you felt like a form of acknowledging the physical and emotional pain I went through, and to respond to it with love, care, and deeper connection. I absolutely felt like I did receive that. I am sure that my recovery and rebalancing after the pregnancy release happened so quickly in part because of our work together. I may not understand exactly how it happened - from a linear perspective - but I fully believe in it. I am so grateful!
-Stephanie, Venice
⌓ I valued learning about my body in ways I haven't from other modalities, so learning about structural and organ systems and imbalances felt like the real gold of the sessions

⌓ It’s always a treat to work with someone who is highly-skilled and passionate about their craft. My work with Phoebe was eventful. I have only had 1 cycle since starting our work together, and it was unusually pain free. I’m looking forward to seeing how the next cycle unfolds.
-Ann, Atwater
⌓ Phoebe is extremely knowledgeable and really makes the massage experience personal and healing. For women with specific needs in their stomach area, she's the person you need to see. I will continue to work with her!

⌓ Phoebe of Los Angeles Manual Therapy is so incredible. I suffer from pelvic pain and it has been such a struggle for me. The way she listened and desired to get a full picture of my physical problems as well as outside stressors which may be contributing to the pain meant so much to me. I was a bit nervous about experiencing pain during the massage but she was very gentle and was quick to stop if I was experiencing too much discomfort. The massages are noninvasive. You’re fully covered by a sheet during the massage and can wear as much or little clothing as you’re comfortable with. I highly recommend her services!
-Kelsey, Los Angeles
⌓ Phoebe is incredible. After a challenging delivery with my son I was extremely nervous about the arrival of baby #2. Phoebe helped me navigate the process of putting together a birth plan that enabled me to head into labor with confidence, patiently offering context and perspective to help inform every detail. She drove to the hospital in the middle of the night -- earlier than we had planned -- when my early labor proved to be the most difficult part of experience, and from the moment she arrived I felt calm and in control. She was an incredible advocate and communicated proactively and effectively with the hospital staff. Her presence was an integral part of my daughter's birth and my husband and I will always cherish the memory of having her by our side in the delivery room. I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her.

⌓ Working with Phoebe felt the way that I imagined a supported birth could feel. From the very first meeting, our sessions felt like spending time with a trusted friend. I felt that my whole person was being cared for. She helped me work through some trauma from a difficult first birth by attending to the intersection of the physical and the emotional. She guided me to envision a more ideal situation for this birth. During the birth, when things got noisy and hectic around me, hers was the voice I kept returning to. Her calm reassurance helped me get quiet, look inward, and summon the strength I needed to usher this baby into the world. I will always be grateful for her support.
- Lara, Pasadena
⌓ Phoebe was everything I could have hoped for as birth support and more. It is rare to find a doula that so thoroughly integrates bodywork into her approach, let alone one that does so with such warmth and expertise. She both lifted and grounded me throughout the process, and importantly, held my partner’s hand every step of the way. I’m a healthcare provider myself, and Phoebe helped me integrate my medical knowledge of obstetrics with a more intuitive, natural approach to childbirth. Our prenatal sessions were filled with calming massage and practical exercises, all of which helped me tap into my inner mammal when it was time to meet our little one. I’m so grateful to Phoebe and hope to have her with me for all my future pregnancies.
