About Sasha

I became a mother in January of 2021 by way of water birth with my partner and a small team of midwives in Anchorage Alaska. My whole experience from pregnancy to birth forever changed me and my view on birth. They trusted my intuition, my body and my baby during birth which allowed me to labor and deliver my way.

​

​My experience as a yogini helped me tap into my inner strengths, the divine feminine, and the guidance of my ancestors that birthed before me. The use of meditation and mindful breathing techniques allowed me to fully be present during each stage of labor and accept each surge (contraction) as progressive and leading me towards my baby. My yoga practice prepared both my body and mind to focus and relax during labor and birth.  For me, birth was a rite of passage into motherhood that transformed me into who I am today.​

Halfway through my pregnancy, I realized that I wanted to help other birthing people and their families obtain their birth goals someday. After a few months of navigating through the struggles and rewards of breastfeeding, I knew I wanted to assist other lactating mothers in demystifying successful lactation practices. No one in my inner circle breastfed, I had my midwife and intuition as guides- at times I wished I had more help. Confidence, care, and comfort are all things I wish to bring you on your journey. You deserve to face the challenges and rewards with support and compassion.

​Aside from working with families, I am a Yoga Alliance registered 200-hour yoga teacher certified in Hatha yoga and a level one Reiki practitioner. Dedicated to the yogic path, I aim to live my life in harmony with all living things and to spread positivity to all I meet. I was born and raised in Walla Walla and recently returned from a 4-year journey in Alaska. When not helping others, you can find me playing with my toddler, making memories with my family, reading a good book, or meditating on my yoga mat.
