Core Values
We are one big inclusive, quirky family here. Hatred of any kind will not be tolerated.
• Community first! We only have each other. Disrupt the systems, get loud, advocate, dismantle.
• Body neutrality is a valid goal
• BMI needs to not exist as it is only harmful and the number is arbitrary and subjective at best
• Every body should have access to movement
• Pilates was invented to be inclusive & healing. We don’t do trendy around here
• Intuition & listening to your body > “powering through”
• Modifications are never the enemy
• Your pronouns will always be accepted & acknowledged here
• Not all birthing people are or identify as women
Not all birthing people want to/are able to body-feed
Black & brown birthing people are absolutely more at risk in pregnancy & postpartum due to systemic racism & white supremacy. And this must end.
Black lives matter
Trans lives matter
There is no end to the unlearning of white privilege
Doulas are not advocates. We are not saviors. We are tools in your toolkit.
Trust is built. Maria is continually learning how to be further trauma-informed and build brave spaces for her clients, but understands trust does not happen overnight. Take your time; you have full agency here.
