Laurie Simpkins has been a licensed massage therapist for more than a decade. In addition, she's also a reiki master and a doula who has assisted in more than 50 home and hospital births. Holistic Choices is the culmination of her expertise. Her massages, which include Swedish and deep-tissue techniques, foster physical and mental relaxation, much like practicing yoga with a hypnotherapist. As a doula, Laurie works with women throughout their pregnancies, administering massages and reiki on her specialty prenatal massage table and providing support during labors and deliveries.
