What is Prenatal/Postpartum Yoga?

Gentle accessible yoga that supports mothers through gentle, adaptive movements, mindful breathing, and relaxation. It helps ease pregnancy discomfort, build strength for birth, aid recovery afterward, and nurture emotional well-being, offering safe practices tailored to the body’s changing needs today.

When should I book a doula?

Ideal time to hire a doula is between 15-32 weeks of pregnancy, with 18-20 weeks (post-anatomy scan) being the "sweet spot" to ensure availability, build rapport, and assist with birth planning. However, hiring a doula can happen anytime, even in the third trimester or last minute. Key Considerations for Timing: -Second Trimester (15-28 weeks): This is often recommended because it allows time to interview multiple candidates and secures their availability for your due date. It also gives you time to build a relationship, which is crucial for feeling comfortable in the delivery room. -Third Trimester (28+ weeks): It is not too late! If you are feeling overwhelmed or decide later, many doulas can accommodate last-minute requests and will meet more frequently to prepare. Postpartum Doulas: It is recommended to begin searching in your second or third trimester to ensure you have support lined up for the immediate postpartum period. Q: Why Hire Earlier? A: Relationship Building: You have more time to get to know your doula. A: Support & Resources: A doula can help you prepare a birth plan, provide educational resources, and answer questions throughout the pregnancy. Ultimately, you should hire a doula when you feel comfortable, ensuring they are someone you trust.
