Carolyn Wacaser Picture

Carolyn J. Wacaser is a nationally certified massage therapist whose desire to positively affect women's health led to the creation of Bouncing Back From Baby sm, a postpartum massage therapy program.
     
  During the twenty-one years of her practice, she has demonstrated her belief that personal growth is as important as professional growth to be a competent professional. She began with a teaching certification, acquired a pre-med background, and studied numerous massage disciplines including cranial sacral, energy work, structural integration, and neuromuscular therapy.
     
  She has worked as an adjunct with psychologists, and with people in twelve-step programs, specifically Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, and Incest Survivors Anonymous. She has taught massage to children, to clients who want to learn how to massage a loved one, as well as trains massage therapists as Bouncing Back From Baby sm practitioners.
   
  Her focus on working with women during the childbearing year grew as she networked with ob/gyn's, midwives, pre-natal instructors, pre- and post-natal exercise instructors, lactation counselors, and pediatricians. She has taught Infant Massage classes, been a doula at many births, and as she has worked with couples having two, and now three children, is involved in the ongoing information seeking about child-development, day care, full-time fathers, cultural contradictions of motherhood, etc.
