To Enhance your Childbirth Experience

Encourages you to prepare Physically, Emotionally and Spiritually during the nine months before you give birth and the first six months after giving birth.

Hypnobirthing - We teach you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner through guided imagery, visualization, and special breathing.

Yoga - Classes will calm and center you and increase awareness on your body, bringing you stillness and inner peace; a feeling of oneness with your baby.

Massage - Reduces stress & promotes relaxation as well as relieving muscle spasms and cramps. Massage increases blood & lymph circulation & supports the physiological process of pregnancy.

"In yoga, the end result is as you hold your posture to be at ease; to let go and relax around the holding of the pose by witnessing observing; to breathe; to let go; to be one with body, mind, and breath. That is also how you  want to birth your baby; by breathing, relaxing, and letting go. Ah......the longest yoga pose you will ever hold -and you can do it."

Testimonials:

I started doing yoga for the first time when I got pregnant with my second child. On April 2nd I gave birth to a healthy baby boy who weighed in at 7 lbs. 6 oz. Throughout my pregnancy I had energy, I was relaxed and always working on the breathing techniques I learned in Marie-Louise's classes. The squatting position I learned in my prenatal yoga class was the most beneficial during my labor. From the moment I started contractions until the birth of my son I squatted through each of my contractions, which ultimately made for a more smooth and speedy delivery. I tip my hat off to Marie-Louise who taught me so much during the nine months of my pregnancy--THANK YOU! I can't wait to come back for postpartum yoga!

Our son, Colton, was born on 09/25/07. He was 8 lbs, 8 oz and 19.5 inches long. I was able to have a natural child birth. I couldn't have done it without you!!! The breathing, focus and sounding that I learned in class helped me get through it all. I couldn't have maintained my focus if it had not been for those things. The weeks that I spent with you in class were the most valuable thing that I did to prepare for delivery. Far more valuable than any childbirth class that I went to. I can't thank you enough! If I hadn't gone to your classes, I think that I would have had to have some kind of pain medication.

Hi there!  Just wanted to let you know our little guy (Ryan August Slater) arrived early Wednesday morning at 12:18 am weighing 6#11oz and perfectly healthy!  My mom was at the delivery and she said, wow, whatever you learned in yoga sure does help!  Thanks so much!  I am planning on taking your postnatal yoga class in June...hope others will too!

Hi Marie-Louise, Just wanted you to know I gave birth on May 4th at 5:30 to John Thomas, he weighed 8lbs 6oz. and was 22 5/8" long. Things went well, the breathing overall, but especially the focused breathing out the birth canal or focusing it to a specific area was an incredible help! Thanks for everything!

Hi Marie-Louise, So happy to let you know that my husband and I were blessed with a happy healthy boy -- Daniel Joseph de Lourenco on Saturday May 27, 2006. He weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and was 15 in. long. You said it's very important to have an open mind about the entire birthing process...you are so right, that is the key. And can't forget the ability to relax! Your class and prenatal massages were awesome! Thank you for everything!
