Carole Osborne
BA, CMT, Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB)
I am a practitioner, author, course developer and instructor and mentor. Since beginning my career in 1974, I have worked in my own private practice and in osteopathic, psychological, and women’s medical settings. My work focuses on facilitating somato-emotional and neuromuscular integration, particularly related to childbearing, trauma, substance and eating disorders, self-image, and nurturing.

Margi Hadorn
BS, LMT
I am a licensed massage therapist who works with pregnant clients to help them manage the physiological, structural and emotional challenges that can occur during pregnancy. I firmly believe that skilled and focused massage therapy during pregnancy can improve the outcomes of the births of babies while creating safe, nurturing experiences for moms.
Pamela Guldi
LMT, CD (DONA)
In 1992, I was licensed as a massage therapist, and after more than 20 years, I am as passionate about therapeutic touch as I was in the beginning. I have practiced in a variety of modalities, including medical & sports massage, deep tissue, Ayurveda, and pregnancy & infant massage. My joy for working with women in the childbearing year began before the birth of my first child in 1996, when I attended doula training through the Florida School of Acupuncture and Midwifery and then through Doulas of North America.
Sparrow Harrington
BA, CMT, CEIM
I am passionate about women receiving thoughtful and skillful care during their childbearing years. I have been a certified massage therapist since 2007 specializing in pre- & perinatal work, further advanced by completing Carole Osborne’s Mentoring for Mastery program. I am also a trained birth doula and a certified educator of infant massage. I am the owner of Sparrow’s Nest which serves the community of Los Angeles, California. When I am not working, I am most likely dancing. The music, dance forms, and culture of Brazil stole my heart years ago and continue to be a source of great joy and inspiration in my life.
