1. What is your favorite thing about being pregnant?
Learning more about my body and its amazing capabilities as well as the new experiences Jason and I get to share together as we grow our family.
2. Tell us a bit about how you see your vision for your birth.
As a marathon runner, I have been using mental imagery as part of my preparation for birth. I have been working through each phase, how to adapt during high and low points. Overall, I vision a powerful yet fatiguing, a challenging yet inspiring birth that allows we to welcome our little one to this world in a normal way.

Having faith in your body and keep active. Movement is the best medicine.
4. If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Quick healing powers?!? Kinda like the wolves in Twilight. Injuries stink.
5. Why did you choose Shining Light Prenatal Education for your classes?
I was given great recommendations to SLPE but I was sold after attending my first yoga class. I loved the environment, resource library, instructors, and feng shui of the place. Great place to embark of this phase of life with positive energy and inspiration.
6. What’s the best part about coming to class here?
I always leave happy.
