WHY BODYWORK IS IMPORTANT
in your motherhood journey
Yoga is the number one most prescribed exercise practice by doctors and midwives. When practiced under the guidance of one of our certified professionals yoga is a safe and gentle way to promote strength, endurance, and flexibility while cultivating a sense of calmness and well-being.
Through intentional movement and breath work you are able to quiet the mind, balance the body and calm the nervous system. Yoga works to improve the functions of all systems of the body including the circulatory, endocrine (think hormones), nervous, and lymphatic.
Practicing movement in a group of like minded people in the stage of life provides an environment for group healing and support.
Our Mission
Mind Body Baby provides a natural approach to support and empowerment for mamas and mamas- in-the-making through yoga, education, and community.

She/her
Hello friends! I am a yoga teacher, a doula, a wife and most importantly, a mama. The journey I’ve walked hasn’t always been the path I would have chosen for myself but without it I would never have found my love for yoga and women’s health and I would not have my beautiful daughter, Marlowe Sunny.
Growing up in Flint, MI I was one of fifteen children. Never did I imagine my journey to becoming a mother would be so damn hard. My husband and I underwent years of fertility treatments and disappointments. The more women I spoke with the more I realized how beautiful and unique each of our journeys truly are. My journey and my daughter have inspired me to create the community and support that I wish was available for me.
