Prenatal Support
You are the sacred vessel who is carrying and nourishing new life, soon to birth and blossom out into the world, through you.
THIS is truly the most important ‘work’ of our time! So let’s take care of YOU!
Whether you are seeking support in preparing for a natural physiologic birth, desiring to prepare for a more easeful postpartum, or simply seeking a safe space for relaxation - I am here to help you navigate the journey from a place of trust, balance and ease. First and foremost, I aim to create space for you to connect with yourself and your own intuition - the foundation that will guide you through your pregnancy, birth, postpartum and motherhood. And I am here to share what I’ve learned along the way through supporting mothers and families just like you for over 5 years.

and so much more!
It is an incredible birth preparation tool!

Preparing for Postpartum is an essential (and often overlooked) part of the birth plan! These sessions are focussed on how to best care for YOU before AND after birth, so you can step into your new mothering role with confidence and ease.
Build your postpartum sanctuary and gather your village of support so you can prioritize rest, nourishment and baby bonding during this transformative time. We’ll discuss holistic self-care practices and a healing dietary plan for a smoother recovery. Just for you!

Prenatal Yoga
My prenatal yoga classes can include anything from physical postures (asana), breath work (pranayama), meditation, mantra (chanting), Yoga Nidrā and deep relaxation ~ to dancing and primal movements, singing and spontaneous sound! It’s not just about doing a series of scripted ‘poses’ (which are great!), but also about creating ‘muscle memory’ in your body and becoming ‘familiar’ with the ‘unfamiliar’. Returning back to a space within yourself where you remember that ‘giving birth’ is a innate part of your WHO YOU ARE.
This is your true Nature.
You choose what resonates for you, and we co-create a special practice, just for you.
*Classes are also available with the accompaniment of crystal bowls and curated sound healing frequencies by Heather Heart Harmonics

Benefits of Prenatal Yoga include:

Strengthens and prepares the body for childbirth
Creates ‘muscle memory’ as you prepare your body to come into positions during birth that may not be usual for you
Helps ease symptoms of pregnancy such as shortness of breath, back pain, leg cramps, sleeplessness, nausea etc
Cultivates a greater awareness of the breath, and how to use it to manage sensations during childbirth
Provides space for you to connect with your inner-most self and with your baby.
