To my future clients or anyone just browsing, hello! Natalie Eckhardt here: Full Spectrum Doula, Childbirth Educator, Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Body Ready Method® Pro and Body Ready Birth teacher.

My path into perinatal work began with a search for better work-life balance and grew when I helped launch Mountain to Sea Physical Therapy’s pelvic floor program in 2019. It was here that I saw the impact of community-centered care in supporting pragnant and postpartum people. My work with Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings deepened my commitment to centering birthing people’s voices, honoring informed choices, and making care individualized and accessible.

My passion now focuses on how the whole body is connected — and how movement, alignment, and nervous system support shape pregnancy comfort, birth progress, postpartum recovery, and life beyond. Today, I continue to advocate for compassionate, evidence-based, body-aware care while navigating my own evolving journey of self-care, family, perinatal support, and social justice.
