Hello!

First off, my most sincere thank you for stopping by. My name is Natalie Eckhardt and I’m thrilled to have your support in this new journey I’ve embarked on.

For those who don’t know, I am a business admin for Mountain to Sea Physical Therapy in Manhattan Beach, CA. We specialize in orthopedic and sports medicine, concussions and pelvic health, and it was there where I realized the importance of patient-centered care.

I’m currently enrolled in the Birthing Advocacy Doula Training program, and down the line am thrilled to join the Mountain to Sea Doula and Birth Services Collective.

In the meanwhile, it’s become my passion to share some of the nuggets I’ve learned through my invaluable support circle. Pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum involves so much more than childbirth education or Lamaze classes. It’s such an incredible mental and physical transformation, and it’s my hope to help empower families to feel heard, understood and supported from conception, to birth and beyond.
