Om Births is a solely online prenatal and postnatal yoga program.

Following birth, we offer classes in postnatal yoga as well as specific workshops to help you regain your former strength and connect with your new little one.

Let’s be clear:

Staying present doesn’t mean everything always feels good.
Just because we are “leaning in” to something doesn’t guarantee we’re going to somehow fall in love with it.

That’s spiritual bypassing, and it’s toxic in motherhood.

But what we can do is not obsess about how things aren’t going the way we wanted, and reach out for help instead.

One of the 3 foundations in Buddhism in the Sangha- the community!

We’re not meant to go through this on our own- we’re supposed to have a community that loves us, supports us, and helps us get back on the cushion when we’re falling off (Or back in bed when we’re doing too much).

The same is true for being a Mom, and rather than wail and moan, we can set things up before the baby arrives- because by then, the world is already upside down.

You can have a powerful birth and still feel overwhelmed postpartum.
You can feel deeply connected in your practice and still snap at your partner.
You can understand the physiology and still doubt yourself.

Discomfort doesn’t mean you failed.
It means you’re human.

And the Mommy Sangha (yours and also the one that meets on Wed at 1pm online ;) ) sees and loves you for being human just as you are.

That’s practice.
In yoga. In birth. In motherhood.

Looking for community in movement? I teach Baby & Me classes Monday mornings at The Gentle Place in Framingham!

I’ve been at births where the room was silent and serene.
And I’ve been at births where the mother was loud, primal, sweating, swearing, and absolutely powerful.

Quiet is not the goal.

Present is the goal.

Balanced is the goal.

Supported is the goal.

Informed is the goal.

Our culture has sold women this idea that if they just stay zen enough, birth will go smoothly.

But birth isn’t a performance of composure.

It’s a physiological process that responds to safety, support, and trust.

You are not failing if you’re intense.

Intensity is not dysfunction.

Sometimes it’s exactly what progress looks like.

I want you to step into your own power, as the amazing mother you are!

When we understand physiology, we stop being afraid of movement.

And when pregnant women feel strong and informed in their bodies?

That confidence carries into birth.

And into motherhood.

And into everything after.

“Deep Belly Breathing” may be a way of cultivating nervous system relaxation- but focusing the breath into the belly isn’t actually the way to get full diaphragmatic movement.

That’s where 360 breathing comes in. And we need 360 breathing if we want pelvic floor release!

And in labor, you’re not doing only 1 type of breathing- just like you’re not staying in only one position.

Sometimes you need expansive breathing.
Sometimes you need contained breath.
Sometimes you need sound.
Sometimes you need rhythm.

Birth isn’t about performing relaxation.
It’s about knowing which tool to use when.

This is why we teach breath as a strategy — not a script.

Because when you understand what your body is doing, you stop fighting it.
And that changes everything.

Join us for a prenatal yoga class and find out how the tools you learn can actually be harnessed for use.

You are not broken.
Your body isn’t failing.
Labor isn’t stuck—it’s navigating.

Sometimes baby just needs time (and space) to move through the bony maze of your pelvis. And sometimes we need to learn how to support the tissues in those areas so they can yield.

That’s where the cardinal movements come in—those essential twists and turns your baby makes on the way out. And guess what? You can help them spin, tuck, and descend.

We don’t have to fight the stall—we can work with it.
We move with intention, create space, and support the wisdom of your body.

Join me on March 1st at Illuminated Birth in Acton, MA for a movement-based birth prep class that ACTUALLY changes things.

I recommend people take HB around 20 weeks if possible.

Which would you rather have? 5 weeks to work with your fears and get comfortable with your relaxation practices or 20 weeks to get comfortable and get to know your own mental patterns and feel totally confident in your ability to birth.

This is one of those times when earlier does actually help.
Can you take HypnoBirthing at 35 weeks? Of course! (and sometimes being so highly motivated actually helps out)
But did you prefer to cram for the exam? Or have the time to study and prepare at your pace?

Our next class starts this week, February 25! Learn more at the link in my bio.

If your prenatal prep isn’t talking about the psoas, it’s missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

This deep core muscle affects more than posture—it influences fetal positioning, pelvic mobility, and your sense of safety.

The psoas is like 2 loving hands cradling the baby’s head into the inlet of your pelvis - or it is if it’s supple…But if it’s tight, then it’s like having two bouncers at the top level of your pelvis!

Signs of tight psoas? Back Pain, Shortness of Breath, Excessively tucked or tilted pelvis, and/or lumbar spinal curvature.

And hardly anyone really talks about it!

Things that tighten a Psoas?
• Sitting (more than 30 minutes a day)
• Running
• Cycling
• Stress
• Forward directed movements

Things that release the psoas?
• Constructive Rest
• Leg Swings
• Heel slides
• Forward lunges- but how you do these is key
• Reclining stretch on a block
• Back-bending done evenly
• Feeling safe, seen, and supported

When I teach, I am always working psoas release work into every practice, not just because it brings a deeper sense of grounded-ness and connection, but because it’s a total powerhouse when it comes to body function!

Practice is coming back. Not maintaining the perfect center.

In many ways, practice is a dance. We balance for a moment, then we fall to the other side, then we feel that fall and nudge back towards center. and then we fall again.

We only know we were on center, because we fell off of it, but the more we pay attention, the faster we can come back.

Come join us for Mommy Sangha each Wed 1-1:30. It’s free!

While I’m away I have some great teachers leading the community each week. I hope you’ll drop in!

I’m not saying they are necessarily bad classes,

But there’s a paradigm shift that comes when parents take an Om Births Prenatal Yoga class, and an even bigger one when they take the Spinning Babies Birth Prep Class.

The shift is that you start thinking of the whole process, not just one aspect of it, and that shift changes where we look in both preparing and working with the labor and birth process.

This is not just about how powerful or frequent contractions are, or how much we are letting go in the moment.
This is about how pliable are the tissues through while the baby is moving, and what can we do before and during the process to support the natural physiology of the body for the birth process.

How can we support baby entering the pelvis?

How can we support them moving through the middle?

And how can we support them moving out smoothly, calmly, and most importantly without injury to them or us?
This is the goal, and it’s what Spinning Babies and the Om Births Yoga classes focus on.

And no, most childbirth classes don’t spend enough time on how to move before or during labor with respect to what phase of descent baby is moving through.

Next Spinning Babies class meeting March 1st in Acton.

Fear isn’t the thing we need to get rid of.

Fear is information.
It’s a sensation.
It’s a story we’ve been told—sometimes long before we ever questioned it.

So much of what people carry into birth isn’t coming from their bodies…
it’s coming from inherited narratives: that birth is something to endure,
that pain means danger,
that control must be handed over.

But what if the work isn’t about becoming fearless—
what if it’s about learning how to stay present WITH yourself when intensity arrives?

HypnoBirthing isn’t about doing birth “perfectly.”
It’s about cultivating trust—
in your breath,
in your body,
in your baby,
and in your ability to meet each moment as it unfolds.

You get to choose which stories you carry forward.
And you can begin rewriting them now.

✨ Our next HypnoBirthing series begins February 25th, live online.

Come practice presence.
Come build trust.
Come back to yourself.

Screaming in labor? Maybe. But it might not be what you think.

Sound in labor isn’t always about suffering. It can be a tool of power, surrender, and energy release.

Your pelvic floor and cervix are neurologically connected to your throat and jaw! No I’m not making that up. Midwives often say “Loose mouth, Loose bum.”

In HypnoBirthing, we teach ways to use breath and voice to move through labor.

Want to learn how? The next HypnoBirthing full series begins February 25th: 5 weeks, deep relaxation, confidence building and really powerful birth stories.
