The birth of a new child is one of the most extraordinary experiences of your entire life, and we are so excited to embark on this new journey with all of you.  

Michele and I are both experienced health care providers who share a passion for helping new parents navigate through the crazy adventure that is pregnancy and childbirth.  Our goal is to help you make this transition as seamless as possible.

It all started six years ago, when Michele and I were working together as perinatal nurses in Boston, caring for patients with high risk pregnancies.  

At the time, we recognized the need for a better option for childbirth education.

We asked our patients what they were looking for.  Time and time again, we received the same responses- no one wanted to come for classes week after week, or to spend an entire weekend in a childbirth preparedness course.  We combined our knowledge base, with over 40 years of experience between us.  The result was the first version of our class- an all-inclusive, interactive, two-hour childbirth preparedness course.

For the past six years we have been offering our childbirth course only in the Boston area.  We decided it is finally time to venture out to the North Shore, and how better to introduce our course to all of you than with the added benefit of prenatal yoga?  

Buddhaful Souls Yoga Studio is a warm, compassionate environment; one that encourages the continued growth of a genuine, caring community.  This sacred space is truly the ideal setting to feel completely at ease and comfortable.  This is the setting I envision for all of you who take our childbirth preparedness course.

The goal of this blog is to bring attention to specific pregnancy related topics, and to create a place for an open dialogue.  I hope it can serve as a tool to foster a community of support amongst all of you- our readers.

We would love to hear from you.  

What are some topics you would like to discuss? Post below!

With much love,

Namaste
