What to know, and how we address it ➡️

After birth, we HIGHLY recommend a support group. Shifting identities, changes in daily routines, lack of sleep, and ceding control are all common challenges of parenthood— and they’re all helped by knowing you’re not alone.

We love our Postpartum Support Group (next cohort starts April 24!) and hope that you’ll join us or another group as you enter parenthood! Good luck!

Stay connection in labor, birth, and beyond❗️HypnoBirthing is a mindset-based birth education class, because we know that birth involves the mind as much as the body.

HypnoBirthing is an evidence-based birth class. Through meditation and tools, you and your partner will create a space of safety and calm that can be called upon throughout labor, birth, and beyond.

Each class covers everything you want to know: anatomy, physiology, the stages of birth, what to expect, and postpartum. Along the way, we cover mindset and offer additional learnings beyond standard birth classes that address anxiety and bring your whole self into the room.

For more information, check out our HypnoBirthing page and sign up for our next classes! 3 or 5 week group classes available, as well as private in-home education.

🌸 Flowers are blooming and so are we! Come see what’s budding at Brilliant Births. 🌷🗓️

HypnoBirthing: We love HypnoBirthing for its meditation and mindset based approach to birth. Learn everything you’d learn in a standard birth class, AND how to create a mental approach to birth that truly serves you.

Laboring Together: This 3 hour weekend workshop is a perfect addition to any hospital birth class. Practice hands-on strategies as a couple and as the pregnant person to create a calm and empowered labor.

Pregnancy safe fitness: Enjoy a soft end to a busy day. Join our Sunset Yoga class on Wednesday nights for restorative yoga for all levels. Bring a guest and enjoy closing out the day together!

And don’t forget our Postpartum Support Group’s new cohort begins April 24! 6 Weeks, 5 on Zoom and then a final lovely in person meetup.

We hope to see you soon!

She also holds a B.A. in World Arts & Cultures from UCLA.

For the last 25 years, she served as Director of Wellness at the Claremont Club & Spa, a role that profoundly shaped her approach to movement. This experience, alongside her dance career, inspired RitmoKá, her coaching philosophy focused on sustainable dance choreography, body conditioning, mindful movement, and injury prevention.
