About Mother Nurture Baby

Meet Mindy Bigler, Prenatal Massage Therapist & Birth Doula in Layton, Utah

Mindy has spent more than 25 years doing massage and bodywork and more than 20 years in birth work. Her care blends skilled prenatal massage, childbirth education, doula support, and the kind of calm presence families remember long after birth.

Her story

A lifelong pull toward mothers, babies, and birth

Mindy’s passion for working with pregnant mothers began in massage school in 1997. That was where she was first introduced to natural childbirth and prenatal massage, and the connection between bodywork and birth stayed with her.

When she became pregnant, she took a Bradley Method® class to prepare for her first baby. She loved the class and her own birth experience so much that she later trained to become a childbirth teacher in 2004.

After time at home with her children, Mindy returned to massage in 2013 and became a prenatal massage specialist at Salt Lake Prenatal Massage, where she worked with hundreds of prenatal and postpartum clients. Mother Nurture Baby is the practice that grew out of that experience.

Who is Mindy

HI I’m Mindy I have been doing massage and body work for over 25 years and Birth work for over 20 years.

My passion for working with pregnant moms, started at massage school in 1997 there I was introduced to the idea of natural childbirth and prenatal massage. When I got pregnant I took a Bradley Method class to prepare for my first baby and loved the class and birth so much I decided to become a teacher a few years later. I then trained in The Bradley Method ® in 2004.
In 2013, I returned to massage and became a prenatal massage specialist at Salt Lake Prenatal Massage. I have worked with hundreds of prenatal and postpartum clients. In 2017 I became certified as a still birthday doula. I certified as a Birth Boot Camp postpartum doula in 2021 and a Birth Boot Camp Birth Doula, 2022. In 2024 I certified as a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner. See all my trainings and certifications here.
I have three amazing boys and one sweet girl. I enjoy working with my clients, whether it is easing aches and pains during a massage or getting the awe inspiring opportunity to be a part of a birth. I truly love my job and am thankful every day to get to do what I do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience getting my first prenatal massage with Mindy. She was waiting for me a few minutes before my scheduled time. She explained briefly how to get into the bed and the cushions so that I was able to lay on my stomach. That in itself was a dream and extremely comfortable. She explained briefly that she does not focus much on legs which wasn’t an issue for me. She did ask some questions as she started to get to know me a little bit and asked a few times in the beginning if the pressure was okay. When I had to roll onto my back, it was a little bit difficult with being pregnant but she was very helpful and made the process easier by holding the sheet and giving me her hands to grab. Overall I very much enjoyed my experience and would love to come again. I am usually not one to enjoy massages before being pregnant but with how sore I was, it was everything I needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mindy is the absolute best doula. She made all of the difference in my labor experience. She is very attentive and knowledgeable, she knows exactly what to do without you even asking. She made us feel confident in our decisions and was so much help during labor that my husband could just be right by me for support. She made sure everyone in the room was following our birth plan. She even noticed when the nurse had taken my placenta out of the room when we specifically said we wanted to take it home, she made sure we got it back right away. She responded quickly to texts and calls and gave us tons of great information during our prenatal appointments to help us prepare for birth. Her massages were also amazing and detail oriented. If you are debating on getting a doula or not, you definitely should hire Mindy!!

She was very professional and happy to work with me (which is very comforting in such a vulnerable state lol) I would recommend her and plan to come back after baby !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am deeply grateful that Mindy was able to be a part of my birth journey. It was quite the journey, 47 hours of labor and almost 4 hours of pushing. It was really important that I had a supportive team helping me during the most vulnerable time in my life. She was so kind and patient and had vast medical knowledge that helped guide my decisions and calm my spirit. She’s also consistently checked in on me after giving birth, not just when she was contracted. I felt cared for as a human being, not just a customer. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mindy is very intentional and thoughtful with her massage work. The space is intimate and cozy. Mindy goes out of her way to make sure you feel comfortable. She uses a variety of techniques and pressures, and knows just what a postpartum momma needs! I booked my first appointment with Mindy when I was 1 week postpartum. She helped address the swelling in my extremities. I went again 3 weeks postpartum to address neck and back discomfort. I highly recommend Mindy for postnatal massage.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live in Idaho and came down for my Birthday. I found Mindy on Google from all her reviews and decided a massage sounds great. It was very very relaxing and much needed! I will definitely come back to see her during this pregnancy and that says something considering I live in a different state! Highly recommend you won’t regret it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a delightful experience it was working with Mindy as a Doula. My wife and I's first child, and we had our dream birth in large part because of Mindy's support, education, and presence. A key moment, early on in pre-labor, my wife began to show signs of stalling. Mindy, after a short phone call sent several sources and suggestions to help support my wife getting our baby in the right position and help my wife settle into a rhythm. The suggestions were great and exactly what we needed. During the lead up to the birth I felt no pressure and very well-informed. Mindy is an incredible Doula and I'm so glad we worked with her.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Mindy was one of the best decisions we made. She was incredibly generous with her time and provided such helpful, empowering resources throughout our preparation. Her support helped us feel confident, informed, and truly supported every step of the way. Because of her, we were able to experience our dream birth we had envisioned. During pregnancy I had to switch providers and Mindy was such an incredible support. She also helped guide my husband when I first went into labour which played a key part in us sticking to our birth plan. I would also highly recommend her massages!  I had a massage during my third trimester and it really helped me to relax and eased my pregnancy aches and pains. A few weeks after the birth, Mindy came to visit us and showed us how to do an infant massage (which my baby absolutely loves) and answered any questions. My baby was having some digestion issues and the massages helped a ton. It was so comforting to have her support after birth too. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough. I almost forgot to add, Mindy took some beautiful pictures and videos during labour. It has been so nice to go back and revisit that day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mindy is a wonderful doula, and we can't recommend her highly enough. I felt so supported - and her expertise was so useful through every stage. Her calming demeanor and knowledge were instrumental to a calm labor and delivery. We were also so appreciative of her help during our post-natal visit when we were struggling with a colic-y baby.
