Writing a Birth Plan:

Family Advocacy During Birth & Beyond

with Krista O'Dea

Wednesday 10/12 at 1:00pm

We will begin this workshop with a meditation to set your intentions and gain clarity on how you want your dream birth and postpartum to unfold.

This process helps you align with your desires and determine what is most important to you – your non-negotiables. We will write two birth plans.

One plan will be just for you: incorporating everything you wish for your ultimate birth and postpartum experience.

The second plan will be specifically for your support team: succinct and to the point focusing on your values instead of specific checklists so your team will know exactly how to best nurture and support you when needed.

In this class we will discuss ways to speak to staff, how to respectfully ask for what you want, and other tips to ensure your birth is family centered.

Did you know that dad’s and partners hold the charge at birth? All interventions can be approved or denied through Dad. While you travel into deep altered states to birth your baby, your partner is your best advocate for your non-negotiables. After all, who is ultimately responsible for this new baby once home? Dad’s are an integral part of the birthing process and should be supported in their role.

Bring a pen and journal or your laptop/tablet – however you enjoy transcribing your thoughts.

Wednesdays (starting 10/1) at 10:30am

10/1, 10/8, 10/15, 10/22, 10/29

Delve deeper into your own energetic practice.

Kundalini yoga is as much of a spiritual practice as it is a movement meditation to deepen your connection to your inner and outer worlds.

This offering begins the first Wednesday of the month and will invite you to develop a 40 day practice with a krya or framework of specific breathing techniques, asanas, mudras, and mantras.

October's Krya to Connect to Angels and Ancestors. Ancestors have the ability to make you aware of what doesn't work (essential and vital) - while angels and guides are the maps to destiny giving directions of how to get there efficiently. In practicing this krya we work through our physical body to tap into our emotional body and our own epigenetic field.

Come vibe with us.

Strong Woman:

Foundational Strength & Hormonal Health in ALL Phases of a Woman’s Life

with Krista O'Dea

A Three-Week Series Starting Wednesday 10/8 at 5:00pm

10/8, 10/15 & 10/29

$50 series, $25 drop-in

Learn how to safely strengthen your body throughout your womanhood journey.

Whether you have no interest in becoming pregnant, are in the pre-conception stage, are currently pregnant or postpartum, was never pregnant, are postpartum 10+ years, or are entering your wise woman era, this class is for you!

This whole-body corrective exercise based, bootcamp-style program will focus on optimizing the muscles of the inner core (diaphragm, transverse abdominals, and pelvic floor) and mastering muscle activation in basic primal movement patterns such as squats, lunges, bending, twisting, pulling, and pushing.

These types of movements are executed every single day, whether picking up a child, getting out of bed, carrying groceries, opening a car door, mopping the floor, playing your favorite sport, or taking your favorite gym class.

Krista will teach you how to optimally activate your inner core unit through conscious breathing techniques and targeted abdominal exercises. This will strengthen the foundational muscles that provide posture, stability, and balance while building deep, holistic strength in your entire body.

Say goodbye to chronic conditions such as lower back pain, sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, urinary/bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, and sciatic pain.

We will begin our class with breath and core activation. After your core is properly activated and engaged, we will move on to abdominal strengthening and strength circuits utilizing hand weights, bands, and barre balls that will target your lower body and upper body.

We will top off class with a cardio circuit EMOM to build endurance.

Be prepared to breathe, work, sweat, and leave feeling energized and strong!

Please bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed!

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 10 weeks postpartum. Please see Postpartum Reconnect & Restore if you are less than 10 weeks postpartum.

Breastfeeding Basics

with Kim Guccione

Sunday 10/19 at 12pm

Prenatal Education for Expecting Parents 90-minute in-person class

Ideal between 27–32 weeks of pregnancy

Together, we’ll:

• ✔️ Set realistic expectations for the early days and weeks postpartum

• ✔️ Discuss essential breastfeeding techniques and latch basics

• ✔️ Identify ways to incorporate breastfeeding into your birth and postpartum plans In our culture, we tend to prepare extensively for birth—yet often take a “wait and see” approach to feeding.

While every baby and breastfeeding journey is unique, learning the basics of how lactation works before baby arrives can make all the difference.

This class provides foundational knowledge and hands-on guidance to help you feel informed, empowered, and supported from day one.

✨ Partners are encouraged to attend — their involvement plays a huge role in the breastfeeding experience.

✨ Includes access to online resources for continued support and reference after birth.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

LAST MONDAY: 10/27 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. 

Studies have shown meditation can lead to all kinds of benefits, such as increasing immune systemfunction, decreasing depression, and improving your ability to regulate your emotions, to name a few. Meditation has also been found to have positive effects on productivity by increasing focus and attention and improving your ability to multitask.

10/7, 10/14, 10/21, 10/28

$75 series, $25 drop-in

Learn how to safely strengthen your body throughout your womanhood journey.

Whether you have no interest in becoming pregnant, are in the pre-conception stage, are currently pregnant or postpartum, was never pregnant, are postpartum 10+ years, or are entering your wise woman era, this class is for you!

This whole-body corrective exercise based, bootcamp-style program will focus on optimizing the muscles of the inner core (diaphragm, transverse abdominals, and pelvic floor) and mastering muscle activation in basic primal movement patterns such as squats, lunges, bending, twisting, pulling, and pushing.

These types of movements are executed every single day, whether picking up a child, getting out of bed, carrying groceries, opening a car door, mopping the floor, playing your favorite sport, or taking your favorite gym class.

Krista will teach you how to optimally activate your inner core unit through conscious breathing techniques and targeted abdominal exercises. This will strengthen the foundational muscles that provide posture, stability, and balance while building deep, holistic strength in your entire body.

Say goodbye to chronic conditions such as lower back pain, sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, urinary/bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, and sciatic pain.

We will begin our class with breath and core activation. After your core is properly activated and engaged, we will move on to abdominal strengthening and strength circuits utilizing hand weights, bands, and barre balls that will target your lower body and upper body.

We will top off class with a cardio circuit EMOM to build endurance.

Be prepared to breathe, work, sweat, and leave feeling energized and strong!

Please bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed!

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 10 weeks postpartum. Please see Postpartum Reconnect & Restore if you are less than 10 weeks postpartum.

This deeply nurturing prenatal yoga series is designed around winter's inward-turning energy, integrating mindfulness practice, breath work, and gentle movements specifically tailored for expecting mothers.

As nature settles into its most contemplative season, mamas are encouraged to connect profoundly with their baby, create sacred space within the body and pelvis, and cultivate inner strength in preparation for birth.

This class is taught by pelvic floor physical therapist Emily Bessemer, who brings over 10 years of experience in women's health to her practice. Having worked with women of all ages and stages to connect with their pelvic floors, Emily is excited to expand her expertise to include prenatal yoga through EmBodied Physical Therapy, her private practice. Expect this series to be interactive, deeply supportive, and warmly nurturing as we move through winter's gathering darkness, creating internal warmth while honoring the precious life growing within.

Through gentle movements that embrace the season's reflective wisdom, we'll focus on building resilience and openness as daylight diminishes and nature models the art of going inward.

This practice honors winter's profound energy of gestation and deep preparation, perfect for mamas approaching their own transformative journey into motherhood.

Prenatal Yoga is an amazing complement to birth classes and comprehensive birth preparation for the pelvic floor and beyond. Through gentle movements, mindful core activation, and mobility work for the soft tissues around the hips and pelvis, this practice supports ease and readiness for birth while honoring the sacred depths of pregnancy's final preparations.

This offering begins the first Wednesday of the month and will invite you to develop a 40 day practice with a krya or framework of specific breathing techniques, asanas, mudras, and mantras.

November's Krya for Forgiveness focuses on the wisdom of forgiveness. Forgiveness is to gather all of your resources into the present moment. To create your best effort from the past, and allow it to carry you into a brighter future. In this krya we stretch our entire body: we activate every cell with each posture.

Strong Woman Abs & Lower Body Building:

Foundational Strength & Hormonal Health in ALL Phases of a Woman’s Life

A Four-Week Series Starting Tuesday 11/11 at 10:30am

11/11, 11/18, 11/25, 12/2

$75 series, $25 drop-in

Learn how to safely strengthen your body throughout your womanhood journey.

Whether you have no interest in becoming pregnant, are in the pre-conception stage, are currently pregnant or postpartum, was never pregnant, are postpartum 10+ years, or are entering your wise woman era, this class is for you!

This whole-body corrective exercise based, bootcamp-style program will focus on optimizing the muscles of the inner core (diaphragm, transverse abdominals, and pelvic floor) and mastering muscle activation in basic primal movement patterns such as squats, lunges, bending, twisting, pulling, and pushing.

These types of movements are executed every single day, whether picking up a child, getting out of bed, carrying groceries, opening a car door, mopping the floor, playing your favorite sport, or taking your favorite gym class.

Krista will teach you how to optimally activate your inner core unit through conscious breathing techniques and targeted abdominal exercises. This will strengthen the foundational muscles that provide posture, stability, and balance while building deep, holistic strength in your entire body.

Say goodbye to chronic conditions such as lower back pain, sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, urinary/bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, and sciatic pain.

We will begin our class with breath and core activation. After your core is properly activated and engaged, we will move on to abdominal strengthening and strength circuits utilizing hand weights, bands, and barre balls that will target your lower body and upper body.

We will top off class with a cardio circuit EMOM to build endurance.

Be prepared to breathe, work, sweat, and leave feeling energized and strong!

Please bring a water bottle and wear comfortable workout clothing.

Barefoot/Grippy socks preferred.

Non-mobile babies welcomed!

Please be advised this class is for mothers at least 10 weeks postpartum. Please see Postpartum Reconnect & Restore if you are less than 10 weeks postpartum.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

LAST MONDAY: 11/24 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states. 

Studies have shown meditation can lead to all kinds of benefits, such as increasing immune systemfunction, decreasing depression, and improving your ability to regulate your emotions, to name a few. Meditation has also been found to have positive effects on productivity by increasing focus and attention and improving your ability to multitask.

This class is taught by pelvic floor physical therapist Emily Bessemer, who brings over 10 years of experience in women's health to her practice. Having worked with women of all ages and stages to connect with their pelvic floors, Emily is excited to expand her expertise to include prenatal yoga through EmBodied Physical Therapy, her private practice.

Sound Baths

at EmBodied

First and Last Mondays of the month 

FIRST MONDAY: 12/1 at 6:30pm

6:30-7:30pm $30 / soundbath

Space is limited please register in advanced.

A SOUND BATH IS A DEEPLY-IMMERSIVE, FULL-BODY LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT INTENTIONALLY USES SOUND TO INVITE GENTLE YET POWERFUL THERAPEUTIC AND RESTORATIVE PROCESSES TO NURTURE THE MIND AND BODY.

Emotional

• Improved mood and emotional intelligence

• Increased optimism, relaxation, and awareness

• Reduced worry, anxiety, and impulsivity

• Enhanced self-esteem and self-acceptance

• Improved resilience against pain and adversity

Physical

• Improved immune system and energy level

• Improved breaking and heart rate

• Lower blood pressure

• Reduced inflammatory disorders and asthma

Mental

• Increased mental strength, focus, and productivity

• Increased memory retention and recall

• Improved cognitive skills and creative thinking

This experience can be helpful for anyone who wants to access the benefits from meditation or a moment of relaxation.  A sound bath is an opportunity to explore what a meditative state is and how it feels.  For this reason, it can be beneficial for both beginners of meditation and experienced meditators as well.  The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore self-inquiry and self-discovery. 

Sound can bring balance, relaxation and a sense of wholeness to the body.  The sound of harmonic vibrations created by singing bowls, gongs and other overtone-emitting instruments are intended to stimulate the alpha and theta brain waves.  These waves are associated with deep meditative and peaceful states that are highly conducive to healing.  Sound can also slow down the heart and respiratory rate, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind and body. 

A sound bath provides the participants with a meditative experience without having to know how to meditate. The sounds and methods are used help to influence our brainwaves so they are able to shift from more active states into more introspective, relaxed states. This is called 'entrainment' and the result is that our active mind often overloaded these days with technology and information can begin to unwind; it temporarily presses pause on our current life and also events in the world that contribute to our stress levels. And the vibrations affect our physical body as well, literally moving through our body. This complete immersion in sound can provide us with much-needed perspective and give our body and mind an opportunity to process

Researchers have also found that sound waves can reduce blood pressure as well as enhance sleep and memory. Binaural beats, tones played simultaneously that are close in pitch but not identical, can be found in a sound bath session. Studies show these sounds can reduce anxiety and enhance mood states.
