Welcome, it's so lovely to meet you!

I'm Christie, your passionate guide sharing in yoga & movement with children, parents, and nurturing our prenatal and postnatal community.

I help to empower mothers during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with tools to get strong, confident, and feeling like their best selves! My greatest joy is in working with little ones and expecting moms.

Becoming a mom of 2 and facing my own challenges of early motherhood inspired me to create a much-needed supportive community for moms, while offering a welcoming and playful space for little ones to gather and have fun!

I am also a certified Birth & Postpartum Doula an am honored to serve pregnant mothers & their partners before and during the birth experience & beyond.

Prenatal yoga is so beneficial in pregnancy for dealing with aches and pains, stress relief, preparing for labor, learning breath techniques, and building strength and tools for childbirth and beyond. When I couldn't find prenatal classes near LaPorte during my first pregnancy, I just knew I had to offer them myself!
