Our latest review...5.0 star rating 9/24/2018
"Casey is such a kind hearted person. I am so thankful that I was able to have her at the birth of my daughter as my doula. Her presence was calming and also encouraging. Casey was very intuitive with my needs throughout my entire labor. Her positive energy and support was essential to me and I would highly recommend her!"- Audrey P.

Join us for Prenatal Yoga - Saturday, June 16 at 1:00pm!

This Prenatal Yoga class offers you the time and space to connect with yourself, your baby, and other expecting women.
Each class begins with introductions. Then with an awareness of the breath, moves into a gentle sequence of warm-up stretches, standing poses, and restorative poses. This class will utilize props when necessary to aid all levels and stages of pregnancy. The class will end with a cool down and relaxation to bring about a state of self-awareness and inner calm.
No previous yoga experience is needed. Many doctors and midwives recommend prenatal yoga as a way to alleviate pregnancy symptoms and help prepare the mind and body for labor and birth.

Before beginning any class, please speak with your healthcare professional.

Do I Really Need a Doula?

Imagine you enter a surfing competition in hopes of winning the grand prize. You grab a board and begin paddling out into the ocean. Having never surfed before your timing is off. You attempt to stand and are quickly knocked off your board and overtaken by the wave. Panic sets in as you desperately try to come up for air. The waves keep coming and now you are gasping for breath as you surface. You realize you lost your board and there is no land in sight. The next set of waves are coming... bigger and stronger....what are you going to do?

Lucky for you there is a more experienced surfer nearby who is able to guide you ashore. The surfer tells you nobody would ever think of entering into this competition expecting to win without receiving professional lessons and preparing oneself both physically and mentally for the challenge.

Just like a surf competition, labor can last for hours and even days. The contractions are like waves and you either learn to ride them or be consumed by them. The more prepared you are for the journey the greater the reward!
