Hi there! I am the proud mother of 4 amazing adults. I chose to be a stay-at-home mom and loved every minute of it! I believe babies are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. I believe children deserve to be loved, taught right from wrong, kind and respectful. I believe nature and pets are good for the soul. I prefer working with babies 0-2 years old because these years are the most important for physical, emotional and mental health and development. It is a joy and pleasure to help children navigate their new world! As a yoga instructor, I help children build strength and balance to use their body. I help facilitate language with book, play and songs. More than anything, my role is to love your baby and teach them that they are the most precious gift their parents will ever experience! I am also a Read more Grandma to 2 precious babies who lives in San Diego. As a yoga instructor, I see how stressful it is to be a parent in the world today. I would love to walk beside you on the most important journey you will ever take.
