Families in the Mount Diablo and Lamorinda areas of the San Francisco east bay seeking holistic practitioners to guide them through the journey of parenthood, from pregnancy to early childhood, have a new, accessible resource with the formation of the Mt.

The practitioners include psychotherapists, midwives, parent consultants, childbirth educators, homeopaths, naturopathic doctors, doulas, reiki and massage therapists and life coaches. All are highly experienced in areas specific to families through the reproductive years.

“We offer a wide range of services to parents and their babies and hope to make families and area doctors aware of this available local, holistic network available,” says Gena McCarthy, RN, MFT, a perinatal psychotherapist and founder of the network. “We are a referral network who know each other’s work well and have confidence in the integrity of each practitioner’s services. “
