About Me
Candace Wilder
(she/her)
I’m Candace and I am lots of things - friend, mom, sister, daughter, birthkeeper, doula, massage therapist, teacher, student. I am also empathetic, creative, healing, growing, learning, and seeking.
In my young adult life I sought out spaces where I was serving by teaching children, doing creative things - writing, theatre, and so much more. I spent 10 years in theatre education where those students taught me so much. When I had my first child, I shifted my focus to being home with my children and then came to this work by way of my own experiences in pregnancy and postpartum. First becoming a certified full spectrum, inclusive, trauma informed doula, then training with Cheryl of Ombalance Collective as an AyurDoula, and then training as a massage therapist at Parker University.
I want to serve those who hold the babies and children, the feelers and healing facilitators, those who bravely advocate in the birthspace and for families. I want to serve those putting the pieces back together, rewriting their story, starting a new chapter, reflecting, redeeming, restoring. Those whose scars are a testament to their love, fight, strength, and light. It would be an honor to be a part of your discoveries, curiosities, and commitment to your wellness.
I currently offer massage at Urban Hippie Wellness Collective with the options of swedish/relaxation massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release therapy, scar tissue care, prenatal and postpartum massage. And I am also a Postpartum Doula with an ayurvedic approach to care. This is such a beautiful tradition of honoring the Sacred Window after birth with a protocol of nutrition, bodywork in the form of Abhyangas, and other supports. Also, working on a stretch and flexibility coaching certificate, postpartum offerings for Urban Hippie members, and some other creative options as well but can only spin so many plates. Stay tuned!
