✨ What to Expect Each Week
Opening Women’s Circle & Community Share
A sacred, non-judgmental space to be seen and heard. This is where isolation softens and connection begins.
Functional Prenatal Yoga & Core-Based Practices
Trauma-informed movement that supports pelvic stability, relieves discomfort, and prepares the body for labor and recovery.
Meditation & Pranayama
Breath-centered practices to regulate the nervous system, coordinate the diaphragm and pelvic floor, and deepen connection with baby.
Birth Preparation & Comfort Tools
Positions and strategies to support baby’s descent and pelvic mobility — practical tools for labor that honor your intuition.
Hands-On Assists & Seasonal Reflection
Crista offers gentle, permission-based hands-on assists and supportive touch to help release tension and encourage alignment during practice. She also weaves in thoughtful astrological and seasonal reflections to honor the larger rhythms surrounding your pregnancy and transition into motherhood.
Pregnancy-Safe Sound Support & Rest
We close with a few gentle minutes of sound support designed specifically for pregnancy — soft tones and subtle vibration to soothe the nervous system. This is not an immersive sound bath, but a brief and supportive integration to help you settle and rest comfortably.
Tea & Nourishment
Warm tea to nourish your body throughout our circle. You are welcome to bring a small snack if desired.
🌿 Commitment to the Circle
Because this is a closed six-week container, we ask participants to plan to attend each session whenever possible.
We understand that life unfolds — and sometimes babies arrive early. There is grace for that.
At the same time, steady presence is what allows this space to deepen. Consistent attendance protects the intimacy of the circle and allows trust to grow naturally without anyone feeling outside the rhythm of the group.
Your presence is part of what makes this circle whole.

🌕 Step Into the Circle
This six-week experience is an investment in your preparation — not only for birth day, but for the sacred postpartum window that follows.
It offers:
• Pelvic floor and birth education
• Nervous system support
• Genuine community
• A steady, experienced guide beside you
It is also a meaningful opportunity to meet me and experience how I hold space. Postpartum is intimate. The trust you place in someone entering your home as a postpartum doula in support of your healing is sacred. This circle allows that relationship to begin naturally and intentionally.
Spots are intentionally limited to preserve the integrity of this container.
If you feel called, I invite you to join us.
