Gain access to our community of yoga moms to ask questions, learn from each other and get encouragement as needed.
Looking for additional support as you prepare for labor and delivery? Reach out for an immediately available recording of my Birth Workshop for Expectant Couples,
Feeling stiff or achy, getting headaches or pain or feel like your body could use some extra help, consider scheduling a myofascial release therapy session. When appropriate, I can also refer you to midwives, lactation consultants, chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, function medicine practitioners, or physical therapists, etc for additional support.

I Teach Evidence Based Practices. Here Is The Research!
- Effects of prenatal yoga: a systematic review of randomized controlled trialsConclusion: "The findings suggest that prenatal yoga may help reduce pelvic pain. It may also improve mental condition (stress, depression, anxiety, etc.), physical condition (pain and pleasure at the delivery, etc.), and perinatal outcomes (obstetrical complications, delivery time, etc.)"- Prenatal Yoga: Effects on Alleviation of Labor Pain and Birth Outcomes Conclusion: "The study has highlighted that yoga is a noninvasive, easy to learn mind-body medicine and complementary health practice, effective in alleviation of labor pain and possibly improving birth outcome."- Yoga and massage therapy reduce prenatal depression and prematurityConclusion: "Following 12 weeks of twice weekly yoga or massage therapy sessions (20 min each) both therapy groups versus the control group had a greater decrease on depression, anxiety and back and leg pain scales and a greater increase on a relationship scale. In addition, the yoga and massage therapy groups did not differ on neonatal outcomes including gestational age and birthweight, and those groups, in turn, had greater gestational age and birthweight than the control group."
