Prenatal Yoga + Birth Work 

DONA Certified Birth Doula

Nola’s work with pregnant people is rooted in a deep respect for the transformative power of pregnancy and birth. Since completing her birth doula certification through Bini Birth in 2020, she has brought a layered, intuitive approach to her prenatal yoga teaching—one that centers breath, embodiment, and mindful connection to the growing baby. As the prenatal yoga instructor at Astro Gong Yoga since early 2024, Nola guides students through slow, intentional movement that encourages strength, release, and presence. Her classes prioritize listening to the body’s cues, building stamina for labor, and cultivating trust in the body’s innate wisdom.

Beyond weekly classes, Nola co-leads a Prenatal Partner and Birth Planning Workshop alongside a practicing midwife, offering childbirth education in a grounded, welcoming environment. These workshops are designed to support both pregnant people and their partners in preparing emotionally, physically, and practically for labor and the postpartum period. Through guided movement, breathing techniques, and collaborative planning, she helps couples feel more informed, connected, and empowered. Whether in class, workshop, or one-on-one care, her intention is to create space where each birthing person feels supported, safe, and seen.
