Clients' feedback:
My husband and I recently attended the "Birth Partners Workshop – Holistic Practices for Pregnancy & Birth" at SOMA Yoga, led by the wonderful Gea, and I honestly cannot express how grateful I am for this experience.At 38 weeks pregnant, I’ve taken all the prenatal classes offered by our hospital, attended several online courses, and watched countless videos — but this workshop stood out as by far the most helpful and empowering. The class was thoughtfully divided into two parts: theory and practice. Gea explained everything with such clarity, warmth, and patience. Her transparent and kind approach made us feel truly seen and supported.What made this class even more special was how involved the partner was throughout. It was the first class where my husband felt fully included and equipped with practical tools to support me during labor. We learned hands-on techniques for pain relief, comforting massage methods, and various birthing positions that we practiced together.Thanks to this class, we both feel much more confident and connected heading into our upcoming induction. I left feeling empowered, informed, and deeply supported — I truly recommend this class to any expecting couple!
The price is per couple - please book only one ticket as a couple.The workshop is led by Gea, a full-spectrum doula (pregnancy, birth, postpartum) and a Prenatal Yoga teacher with 10 years of experience.What to bring: Please bring a rebozo if you have one, or a long linen or non-stretchy cotton scarf/sling/wrap if you have one. Don't worry if you can't get it - we'll figure it out.
