Hi! I'm Victoria. I am the Massage Therapist/owner of Moon Belly Wellness VT. I graduated from Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Boulder, Colorado in June of 2011. There I received 750+ hours of training with a focus on Prenatal and Postpartum massage. In April of 2019, I became certified in Pediatric Massage Therapy from the one and only Tina Allen, LMT, CPMMT, CPMT, CIMT, and I did additional training with Jody Wright, IAIM specifically for Infant Massage. I also received my CCV Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education in 2008. It has been an honor to work with many families and children throughout the past 12+ years.
Now I am a mother of two young children and I have experienced for myself the hardships of being on the perinatal path, and have a significant understanding of the discomforts that occur in the body during pregnancy and the postpartum period (which is two years by the way!). I now understand what is means to have community support rally around you at this time and that it really takes a village to (sometimes, quite literally) survive.
I am also a (*trigger warning*) Maternal Morbidity survivor, which means I sadly suffered a life threatening injury while birthing my second baby, and it resulted in the loss of my uterus and permanent infertility. I talk a lot about my experience and have shared my birth story in my Instagram and Facebook pages. If you would like to learn more about what happened to me and my son, and my recovery since, I highly recommend you visit my Instagram page @moonbellywellnessvt.
Right now I am no longer seeing clients in my office, but the good news is that I am still offering services! I will be available to teach one-on-one lessons to mother/parent/caregiver and child. Stay tuned for more information about this, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. Thank you!
