Pre-Birth In-Home “Welcome Baby!” Visit (90 minutes)

Welcoming baby home is an exciting time, but it can also be a period of worry and confusion. You may be wondering: What baby things do I really need and what is just nice to have? How do I best set up the nursery—and the rest of my home—for comfort and efficiency? What might a typical day with a newborn look like? Why does Amazon have literally hundreds of baby carriers from $25 to $300 and which one will work for me?! Your customized welcome baby visit will get you organized and put your mind at ease as we go through your house, room-by-room, together. I will get you, your family, and your home baby-ready, starting your journey into parenthood off on the right foot. This is also a great time for parents to ask other baby-related questions and for us to become better acquainted.

In-Home Visit

Each home visit may look different based on the needs of your family on that day. I provide up-to-date, evidenced-based information and support on things such as infant feeding, soothing, sleep and bathing; emotional and physical recovery from birth; bonding; basic newborn care; and tools and techniques to help the entire family adjust to the new normal. I listen to new parents and their concerns and actively support and encourage them to make their own informed choices. I can do baby’s laundry, bottle washing and help with household organization and meal preparation. Additionally, I have a certification in perinatal mood disorders and am well equipped to work with families in this area. Home visits are a minimum of 90 minutes, in increments of 30 minutes.

Private Yoga Services

I offer yoga both in-person and virtually. 45- 60- or 75-minute sessions are customized to your needs and goals. Classes may include energetic or slow movement, restorative poses, breathwork and meditation. Practice encourages both self-care and self-awareness. No experience or flexibility needed. 

Prenatal

During pregnancy the body goes through many changes—both physically and emotionally. Yoga supports pregnant people through these changes with individualized movement, breath, meditation, and a focus on Self. Benefits include reduced stress and discomfort and increased endurance and self-awareness, helpful for a more-easeful pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum.

Postnatal
Post-birth, the body goes through many changes—both physically and emotionally. Yoga supports new moms through these changes with individualized movement, breath, meditation, and a focus on Self. Benefits include reduced stress and discomfort and increased endurance and self-awareness, helpful for a more-easeful postpartum.

Postnatal for Emotional Wellbeing
Yoga helps the body and mind slow down in order to bring awareness to habitual patterns of relating and responding to the world around us. By focusing on the body and breath we can help manage the nervous system and stress response, leading to more emotionally well-balanced lives. This type of practice is well-suited—but not limited—to those experiencing any perinatal mood disorder. 

Baby & Me/Us
This practice is a fun way to ease back into movement while connecting both emotionally and physically with baby. Classes emphasize self-care for parent(s) and bonding with baby. 

Couples Connection
With a new baby it can be difficult to find time for you and your partner to be in the same room together, let alone nurture each other and experience your unique connection. Take some time to reconnect with classes that emphasize self-care, communication and compassion.  

Family Fun
With a new baby it can be difficult to find time for the family to connect and have fun together. Take some time to connect as a family with a playful yoga practice suitable for everyone. 

Reiki Services
Reiki is a form of energy work through which a universal energy is transferred through the practitioner to the client in order to encourage emotional and physical wellbeing. 30- and 60-minute sessions are customized to your needs.
