Join this supportive 3-hour workshop to process and honor your birth story through the wisdom of your body. Together, we'll engage with gentle somatic practices (like embodied movement and guided reflection) and expansive breathwork. Capped at 8 participants, we’ll move at the pace of your nervous system, allowing space for whatever feels unfinished—grief, guilt, tenderness, or complexity—as well as embracing your empowerment. You brought a human into the world! It’s no wonder that given the magnitude of birth, your story can hold both unbounded joy and pain or grief, often at the same time. Because these experiences live in our bodies and not just our minds, these somatic practices and breathwork reach the parts of you that need more care, attention, and completion.

While trauma-informed, this is not group therapy. Instead of centering a detailed retelling of your birth, you’ll be invited to connect with your birth story through felt senses in your body, while being witnessed in a come-as-you-are environment. All birth experiences welcome. No prior experience with somatics or breathwork necessary. Come with a willingness to try something new. Leave with a deepened connection with your self, your story, and your child.

Kids Strength & Balance is a fun, supportive class designed for 3rd–5th graders to build strength, balance, coordination, and confidence.
