Meet the Team
Hillary
In addition to being a committed business owner, doula/yogi (500 hr E-RYT & continuing Ashtanga student of Manju Jois), Hillary is also a mother to 5 beautiful humans. Her goal as a doula & yoga instructor is to assist, empower, and coach clients, along with their families, as they navigate the incredibly transformational, amazing, & sometimes overwhelming experience that is Life.
A former classroom educator and law student, it was the experience of birth and becoming a mother that forever changed Hillary for the better. Choosing to birth each of her children naturally at home, along with having the opportunity to support numerous families on their birth journey both in and out of hospital, she is a huge proponent of choice and advocacy, regardless of where or how birth occurs.
Hillary's passion and purpose are both to support her students/clients in their personal and professional growth and to guide women and their loved ones through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
It is her honor and pleasure to be at your service, now and always, in the Spirit of Love.
