Anna Demetra Badoian
Of the Earth Holistic Care

For over 15 years, I have built a practice as a therapeutic bodyworker, birth attendant, and postpartum care provider — accompanying women and families across the full arc of the childbearing continuum.

My training includes Abdominal Therapy through Arvigo and Tul'ix Indigenous Arts, the Rolf Method of Structural Integration, Scar Work®, and Yoga and Functional Movement — alongside Usui Reiki, Mahikari Energy Healing, Innate Postpartum Care, Matrona Birthkeeper training, and PAIL (Pregnancy and Infant Loss) Advocacy. Together, this knowledge shapes an approach that is embodied, relational, and deeply informed by tradition and ancestral wisdom.

I am a member of the Tul'ix Indigenous Arts teaching staff and hold a private practice where the full range of this training meets the individual needs of each person I work with.

 

Beyond one-on-one care, I collaborate regularly with fellow birth-workers to offer community trainings, gatherings, ceremonies, skill-shares and workshops — because this work has always belonged to community as much as it belongs to the individual.

 

I weave plant energetics, herbal support, sound healing and spiritual healing into my practice. I have come to believe that this layer of care offers something that bodywork alone cannot — a shift in perception. And when perception shifts, something new becomes possible that simply wasn't before.

 

At the heart of all of it is this: when a woman develops a deeper understanding of herself and learns to trust what she knows, she doesn't just heal — she becomes more fully available to the people and communities around her.  And when she does, she remembers something we so often forget: we are not meant to carry the weight of our lives alone. We belong to one another — and when we remember that, something essential is restored.

If this speaks to you, let's talk about what kind of support is right for you.
