Ready to Thrive rather than Just Survive during your pregnancy

It’s possible to feel empowered in your pregnancy and birth experience without having all the answers or a medical degree. Through yoga, good science and personal wisdom I will help you navigate this human experience.

Imagine if you felt good during your pregnancy and enjoyed this experience even on the hard days.

You want that glow everyone is raving about, and yet…

01

You rely on an app to understand what’s happening in your body, googling everything that feels “off” just to reassure yourself that you and your baby are okay.

02

You have aches and pain that are “normal” and assume it comes with the territory and there’s nothing you can do about it.

03

You are playing the comparison game looking to other people’s experiences
for validation.

All of this is making you feel like a spectator of this miraculous experience, a stranger in your own body.

What if I told you…

01

There are so many tools you can use to feel good without an app. These tools are already inside you and you just need to tune in.

02

Birth is a physiological process, meaning it’s a normal function of the body. Otherwise we would not exist as a species.

03

Comparison is the thief of joy and it is time to connect to the baby you are growing and the body that is growing it within.

bonjour friend!

I’m Melie

I’m Melie, a French expat, mom of three girls, yoga teacher, and childbirth educator. I’ve been through this rodeo three times myself, so I get it – the good, the bad, and the downright bizarre.

As an expat, giving birth at 22 in a foreign country, I experienced first hand the power perinatal education had on my outlook of birth and motherhood and how it impacted my outcome from a physical and mental standpoint.

I bring over ten years of experience to help you navigate your pregnancy with confidence. My approach reduces fear and enhances well-being by opening your awareness to what you already have, ensuring you feel as prepared as possible without being overwhelmed.

While there are no guarantees of how things will turn out (because babies are going to baby), I help you focus on the elements you can control , empowering you to embrace your pregnancy journey with assurance.

Ready to learn more about this human experience?

Feel supported, encouraged energized and just totally ok with not being completely in charge of the process.

Learn that you have some control over how this is going to turn out.

Prenatal Yoga And Childbirth education is not about learning with the intention to control or master. There is no mastering your experience, there is no hierarchy of birth. There is just a crystal clear understanding of the process, honing skills and cultivating trust.

It is not a turn key, magic trick. It is a process and I am ready to be there for you every step of the way!
