REDEFINE MOTHERHOOD 🧘‍♀️🌿🌙
Your one-stop-shop for Holistic Health
Connection - Community - Confidence Hello beautiful humans!

I am Vanessa; Mother, Wife & Business Owner ✌

FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE I KNEW I WAS MEANT TO HELP OTHERS. IT WASN'T UNTIL I BECAME A MOTHER WHEN I REALIZED MY TRUE CALLING... TO ASSIST OTHER MOTHERS IN RECLAIMING THEIR CONFIDENCE AFTER PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM. With the holistic powers of mindful movement such as yoga & pilates, nourishing traditions such as nutrition, meditation, grounding, and spiritual development, we can facilitate awareness and growth within our body. For Mothers everywhere - This is your tribe, your village, your safe space. Together, we rise, we conquer, we REDEFINE MOTHERHOOD!

I’ve had so much joy with my Wednesday night classes on the chakras lately. A lot of people don’t know about the power they harness, and how they can tap into their intuition on a different level by using their chakra energy.

Reiki is a beautiful and gentle way to get familiar with the energy of your body and mind, and the bridge that connects to two.

Join me Wednesdays at 7 PM, or book a one on one session with me to discover the power of Reiki!

Hardships forge us in ways ease never can. They strip away illusions, forcing raw confrontation with limits—pain, failure, loss—that demand adaptation. Like steel tempered in fire, we emerge denser, more resilient: muscles of grit built from repeated strain, empathy carved from shared struggle, wisdom distilled from mistakes that comfort would have glossed over.

Easy paths breed complacency; they teach little beyond entitlement. But adversity? It rewires the brain for problem-solving, sharpens instincts, and instills unshakeable confidence born of survival. The greatest innovators, leaders, and souls weren’t pampered—they were broken and rebuilt stronger. In the end, our scars aren’t flaws; they’re the proof of evolution.

Due to a teething child I have made some changes in my schedule for the time being. I now only have one morning class that is kid friendly, so you may or may not see my children make an appearance. I’ve moved to the other classes to the evening to accommodate a more quiet and personal atmosphere.

As always, if you cannot make one of the live classes, I will upload them to my website and those with active memberships will be able to watch them upon their own convenience.

REMINDER: Friday is the last day to sign up for my Reiki Workshop, we have a nice little group of people joining. This will be lovely energy that we will get to share with eachother and ourselves 🌙

Upcoming workshops to look out for…
~ December: The Calm Collective (Meditation, Yoga, Sound Bath) In-person and virtual options
~ January: Fusion Flow Basics (Learn the basics of Pilates & Yoga to start the new year off with movement)
~ February: Yoga in the Hands (Mudras & Meditation)

Poses I’ve been trying to improve and now I’m finally seeing the results of my hard work!

Don’t get discouraged if your body ‘doesn’t move that way’ because I guarantee one day it certainly can. Keep going, keep trying. DO. NOT. GIVE. UP. PERIOD!!!

I’ve been practicing yoga for over 20 years and since having children my body has needed a lot of extra love. I lost the ability to get into certain asanas but I keep telling myself it will happen again one day.

Cheers to these 3 poses that I have been able to accomplish in the last few months, and cheers to many more along the journey of a healthy life.

What pose would you like to get into within the next year?

It’s crazy how a year of hard work and dedication can change you! There’s about 65 pounds difference here in just under a year.

So many people want a quick fix. You can’t just go for one run, eat a salad, and call it a day.

There’s discomfort, there’s sweat, oh, there’s a lot of sweat! There’s days where you doubt yourself, and there’s days where you feel so bad ass you never want to quit.

Consistency is key. Rome was not built in a day, and neither were you. Stay consistent and stay confident in the journey.

Depending on your goals, your journey may be a few months or may be a few years, my journey will last a lifetime!

I’ve lost 100 pounds on three separate occasions now, once before I had children, and twice after having children. Even though I have all of the tools and resources, it never gets easier, I still have to put in the hard work and have that growth mindset.

Leave your excuses at the door and just do it. Don’t wait until Monday, don’t wait until the new year, start today!

My calendar says November, but the weather still feels like October

Being outside offers a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits, backed by research from fields like psychology, medicine, and environmental science. Here are some key ones:

Physical Health Benefits
• Boosts Vitamin D levels: Sun exposure helps your body produce vitamin D, which supports bone health, immune function, and reduces inflammation.
• Improves fitness and cardiovascular health: Activities like walking, hiking, or cycling outdoors increase heart rate and build endurance more effectively than indoor workouts due to varied terrain and fresh air.
• Enhances immune system: Exposure to diverse microbes in natural environments (e.g., soil bacteria like Mycobacterium vaccae) can strengthen immunity and reduce allergy risks.
• Better sleep: Natural light regulates your circadian rhythm, leading to deeper sleep.

Mental and Emotional Benefits
• Reduces stress and anxiety: Time in nature lowers cortisol levels.
• Improves mood and fights depression: Outdoor time increases serotonin and endorphins.
• Promotes mindfulness and well-being: Being present in nature encourages mindfulness, reducing rumination.

So get outside when you can, even if it is just a few minutes 💗
