Ms. Rachel really did that. 🥹👏
From singing to our babies through the screen to helping so many of us survive the toddler stage with a little more patience she’s now Woman of the Year.

Honestly? She deserves it.
She’s proof that a mom following her heart can change the world. 💖🤱

No one works out more than a baby....

As I continue to navigate adulthood, I've come to appreciate the value of planning ahead and relying on my schedule. By registering for classes in advance, I feel more in control of my health and wellness, and I'm empowered to make intentional decisions about my exercise and bodywork. Plus, with the flexibility to cancel early without penalty, you can adapt to changing priorities or unexpected setbacks. I encourage you to join me in taking charge of your schedule and registering for classes ahead of time – it's a simple yet powerful step towards cultivating a deeper sense of mental and physical well-being.

If you don't want to look back on life and wish you'd have spent more time physically training then please check out my classes or heck- any other professionals. YOU DESERVE that post class high, the strength of your body, mobility that takes you into all the phases of life.

Register for classes at SLR Pilates, early cancellation for mat classes are 3 hrs ahead of time, click to sign up! https://get.mndbdy.ly/2ZYsSYYkOXb

The more support You CURATE the better during motherhood. A supported start in the childbearing year is the evolutionary design of our humanity but sadly not the current state of our local culture. It must be sought out in most cases.

Matrescence Monday in Michiana requires you to carve out the time to get there, but the trade off is a more supported nervous system, functional mobility training for a comfortable pregnancy and lifelong posture that encourages better space for baby, and filling in the resource, educational and emotional GAPS of conventional prenatal and postpartum care.

Anyone curious can join Mondays afternoon/evenings for ***Prenatal OR Baby & Me Yoga and Beyond***

A groundbreaking 2025 study published in Science Advances has revealed that while women experience a decline in the number of eggs as they age, the quality of those eggs at the DNA level remains surprisingly stable. In contrast, men’s s***m accumulates genetic mutations over time, making older fathers more likely to pass on DNA errors that can contribute to developmental and neurological conditions in their children.
Researchers found that these s***m mutations increase steadily with age, particularly after 40, while eggs showed minimal DNA damage accumulation. This challenges decades of assumptions about female fertility and aging — and flips the traditional “biological clock” narrative on its head.
The implications are significant: men’s age can influence conception success, pregnancy outcomes, and long-term child health just as much as women’s.
In essence, time affects both sexes — just in very different ways.
