I don't want an induction.
I want my baby to come naturally.

I was "high-risk"  for being past due and had my heart set on an unmedicated birth.

My plan was to stay calm- to trust my baby and my body.

I read every pregnancy book, pumped myself full of positive birth stories, and hired a doula.

But only yoga helped prepare my heart.

After waiting 42+ weeks for our little man, I gave birth.
(raw birth story here).

No one can teach you how to love and let go.

You are more than capable yourself.

So I lead retreats to help moms and yoga teachers connect and bring all that love and wisdom home.

Proximity to my parent's home was my primary driver for choosing to study at UC San Diego and later gain my MPH (Masters in Public Health) at Loma Linda University in Southern California.

 

My parents and I did a yoga teacher training retreat together with Marianne Wells Yoga School in 2015. #reallyrealyoga

 

When I became a Mom two years later, the family pull became even stronger. It was then that my career as a highly respected healthcare analyst started transitioning to creating opportunities that would provide greater freedom to be with my son and excite my soul.

 

Our first birth was at a hospital and amazing.  (Read My first birth story here)

Pregnant with my second, I invited MahaMama Yoga School to Joshua Tree for my first Joshua Tree Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training.
