I went to my first new parent circle when my daughter was only 3 weeks old. I cried the whole time. I’ve continued to come over the last several months and have found it to be the most wonderful group of supportive and non-judgemental folks. All my people I’ve connected with that are now my tribe of parents with littles the age of my kid I have to thank for this group!

She's knowledgeable, enthusiastic and so supportive!

Mikka has been a big part of my whole experience of motherhood so far. I'm so glad I’ve had her support, advice and positive energy around through all this. If you are pregnant, about to give birth, have given birth at some point, or if you are just in need of a really good massage, Mikka is your person!

I had (and still have) the pleasure to work with Mikka as my postpartum doula, prenatal yoga teacher, and now as our [bodyworker] for what I call 'stressed out parent massages'. I can't recommend her enough to every mama out there in need of a knowledgeable, supportive and motivating doula and giving amazing massages.

The midwife told me after that it's likely I would have had to get a C section had I not been so active during my pregnancy and in touch with my body. So, thank you for the many weeks of wonderful prenatal yoga classes that got me ready! Also, I thought you'd like to hear that I labored and pushed for quite a while in "juicy hips" :)

Thank you for your yoga classes during my pregnancy! We had the beautiful unmedicated birth of our dreams in no small way thanks to the flexibility, strength, and mental training I gained from your yoga classes. Thank you for all the ways your classes helped to prepare me.

THANK YOU for preparing me so well for labor and delivery (and motherhood more broadly). I had an emergency C-section and was really afraid for the recovery period, but thanks to the strength I achieved in your prenatal yoga classes, I recovered pretty quickly. I really do feel an overall sense of calm and gratitude from yoga that I did not feel before

-Mitra

Thank you for teaching such an awesome prenatal yoga class! I ended up using a lot of the mantra and breath work from your yoga class during labor

Doing yoga with Mikka has been one of the highlights of my week! She is fun, caring, and so genuine with everyone in her classes. And she always makes the effort to check in with everyone, ask what they need, and tailors the material to fit their needs. Mikka's classes feel like more than just doing yoga--they are also an opportunity to connect, feel seen and heard, and even to laugh

Kari is a great source of knowledge and I enjoyed hearing from her tips and her personal experience as a mother throughout the class. The class was well organized and delivered on a virtual platform.

Liked the demos. Offering this class on a weekend would be great because it was a little hard to balance with work schedule

Liked learning the specific moves for the different levels. I just wish it could have been in person but that’s COVID..

Instructor was great. 3 hours over Zoom was exhausting. Hard to know how to condense the information from in-person but a break in between would be good.

Liked Sarah's interaction with the students/her ability to relate the specific tips to specific parents based on what they said about their babies' habits

We really enjoyed it and felt it gave us a lot of concepts and ideas to consider and incorporate in our relationship as we move forward with starting our family.
