Transition into Motherhood with Confidence

Join Our 2024 Workshop

on November 30th

Too often, we hear from women who felt unprepared - mentally, emotionally, and physically - for their first pregnancy and childbirth experience. Many women are unaware of their autonomy as patients, leaving expectant mothers feeling disempowered in a sacred journey that should truly honor them at its center.

We’re offering education & a truly embodied experience to address:

what to expect when you go into labor
your autonomy & using your voice to speak up for yourself at every point along the way
how to physically prepare your body for what’s to come
how to emotionally and spiritually prepare yourself for this drastic change you’re undergoing
how to empower yourself with confidence instead of being scared of the process

What You'll Experience

Emotional & Physical Preparation

Building a Supportive Network

Nurturing Self-Confidence

Empowering Mind-Body Connection

Tailored Support & Guidance

Motherhood Moments

A love letter to my daughter:

At just 2 years old, you’re your own person.

I see you being kind, being the first to soothe a baby when they cry, offering hugs & kisses when someone is hurt, sharing bites of your favorite foods to share a smile & a “yummmm”

I see you being strong, climbing on top of everything taller than you, holding back tears when mama has to go for a while, taking deep breaths all by yourself when you feel frustrated

I see you being brave, jumping headfirst into the pool even though you hate the water in your ears, trying every new food on your plate, saying hello to strangers even though you’ve always been a lil shy

I see you being smart, learning to not make the same mistake twice after you’ve gotten hurt, dragging chairs & stools & boxes to get your own water from the fridge, cracking jokes that are way too witty for your age

I see you growing into yourself every day. From birth til now, I’ve witnessed your personhood, & you’ve shown me more of mine. You’re the greatest motivator that taught me I can be & do more.

You’re a fierce little lion who teaches me to pounce on the things I want

You’re a courageous risk taker who teaches me to not give into fears

You’re a loving little one who teaches me to extend warmth & forgive easily

You’re my favorite person, you’re the best person. And I am so happy to be lucky enough to bear witness to your experience in this life. To learn from you, grow alongside you, & to love & be loved by you.

I can’t picture who you will be in the future, but I know that no matter who you turn out to be, whatever choices you make, I will always love you.

Thank you for letting me be your mama, & thank you for being the best daughter. I love you endlessly Aerilyn.

Hiii I’m alive! 🫶🏻

The past year & a half has been an absolute clusterf*ck. I had my first baby, lost myself in motherhood, & went through a lot of BS.

The last few months I have been focusing on getting back to myself—shedding the energy that doesn’t belong to me, grieving outcomes that never came, & letting go of the identity that I clung to for too long. I feel like I am finally hitting that metamorphosis moment that happens to mothers. You know, after you’ve melted into an unrecognizable pile of goo & then suddenly you’re this badass, beautiful butterfly version of yourself.

Life is still messy af. But I feel like it’s more manageable now, & I FEEL better engaging with it. A lot of that I attribute to my fitness journey. Healing my diastasis recti, practicing effective breathwork, getting back into a lifting rhythm that works for me & my little one. Training, educating, & empowering others to take positive steps in their own journeys has helped a ton too. And I feel like it’s time that I return to doing that with more commitment & fortitude because now I actually have the bandwidth.

It’s f*cking beautiful to be more than a mother finally. Took me way too long to get here, but ladies & gentlemen, I have arrived. 🥳

I’m really thankful that I started healing my relationship with my body before I got pregnant.

Pre-conception, I weighed ~125-130lbs. At my last doctor’s appointment, I weighed 160lbs. My jaw actually dropped when I saw the number lol.

This would have majorly fucked with my head if I didn’t already have a strong understanding & appreciation for what my body is/does.

It’s common knowledge that women gain weight during pregnancy. You HAVE to in order to support a growing baby. But when it actually starts happening to you, it can be scary or overwhelming.

Am I gaining too fast?

Am I still healthy?

Am I going to be able to go back to the size that I’m used to after birth?

I’ve talked to lots of mamas & found that these thoughts are all too common. I feel like there’s too much pressure on women to look a certain way for their whole life, & that doesn’t just magically go away when you’re with child.

You still have the thoughts that you’ve been thinking about yourself for years out of habit.

Those neural pathways that you follow can be pretty hard-wired into your mind until you make the conscious decision to re-wire them.

Because I’ve put in the work, I’m in a position where rapidly gaining 30 pounds resulted in a moment of shock followed by a chuckle… instead of a wave of anxiety, stress, & self-loathing.

My baby is only about 2.5 pounds, & the rest of my weight gain is from fat, new tissues, & extra fluids.

And I have zero problems with that.

I’m grateful for that extra shtuff because it means my child is well taken care of, & I will be well equipped to journey through labor & the postpartum period aka “the fourth trimester.” ✨

You can feel this way too, mama.

Full of gratitude, joy, & excitement for the changes happening in your body as you transition into a new part of life.

Trust that your body knows what it’s doing—it is always searching for a healthy equilibrium.

And remember that it takes care of you as you take care of it.

…

P.S. My DMs are always open to women who need some guidance as to how they can best take care of themselves during this special time. Holla at me ladies. 😝
