This intimate space honours the unique bond between you and your little one, fostering deep physical ease and emotional closeness in a supportive, flexible sanctuary of relaxation. This experience is designed for mothers with new babies (pre-crawling) and is naturally an incredibly gentle practice. You are welcome to join as soon as you and baby are ready.
Designed specifically to down-regulate the nervous system, this practice invites you to shift from 'doing' to 'being.' Through guided diaphragmatic breathing and the soothing frequencies of Sound Healing and Hypnotherapy, we create a cocoon of safety that calms the fight-or-flight response, offering profound peace for both you and your baby. This shared state of relaxation strengthens your connection, allowing you to co-regulate and find a moment of stillness amidst the beautiful chaos of new parenthood.
Physically, we focus on restoring the body from the demands of pregnancy and birth. Using miracle balls, we gently decompress the spine and release tension in the neck and shoulders, alleviating common postpartum strains from feeding and carrying. The practice includes passive restoration for the pelvic floor and core, allowing these deep muscles to heal and reconnect without the pressure of active exercise.
We understand that every journey is different. If you are newer to postpartum or feeling fragile, the practice is easily modified to be even gentler.
We embrace the reality that there won't be peace and quiet the whole time—answering our babies' needs is simply part of our shared journey. Here, we prioritize connection over perfection. Whether you are decompressing your spine, restoring your core, or simply sharing a quiet moment with other moms who truly understand, you are held in a circle of empathy and support.

Acknowledgement
I understand this class is intended for mothers with pre-crawling babies, though if my baby begins crawling during the session series, both my baby and I are still welcome to continue participating. Babies are welcome to feed, rest, cry, or move as needed during class. I agree to listen to my body, move at my own pace, and avoid any movements or positions that feel uncomfortable. I understand this class is for gentle wellness support and is not a substitute for medical care.
Your Facilitator: Ashtiika
Hi! I'm Ashtiika. I'm a nature lover and a homeschooling mama with a playful spirit and an open heart. I believe we all carry everything we need within us, and it is an honor to support others in connecting with their own innate wisdom and trust in themselves.
With five years of experience as a clinical hypnotherapist and peaceful pregnancy practitioner (similar to hypnobirthing), alongside a background in somatic coaching, breathwork, and sound healing. Combined with ten years of therapeutic yoga and training in anatomy and biomechanics, I have woven these passions together to create a comforting and empowering space for healing & self care.
To me, healing isn't about fixing or changing anything; it's about welcoming what wants to be felt. My wish for you is to feel the compassion in this space so that you can extend that same compassion toward yourself. When we slow down, relax, and feel with compassion, we create the right environment for healing to naturally take place, without any force. It is a beautiful process of allowing, and I am deeply grateful to hold this space for you as you soften into presence and let healing unfold.
