The Northern Nest Doula

A class just for pregnant moms! Prenatal Yoga at Vigilante Yoga

Let’s move our bodies to ease discomfort in pregnancy and prepare for labor, birth, and healing postpartum.

Hip mobility, gentle stretching, breathing techniques, stress reduction & mindset, & meet a new friend 🙂

Modifications for every position to support you wherever you're at.

All levels welcome. All trimesters.

If you are pregnant in the Watertown NY / Fort Drum area and are looking for support, I got you!

My name is Chelsey and I am a birth doula, childbirth educator, and prenatal & postnatal yoga instructor.

I offer private and group classes, education sessions in your own home, and in-person & virtual doula support services.

🏵️ My goal is to help you (and your husband or partner) feel calm, supported, and informed through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum and to create spaces where moms can meet, connect, and learn from each other.

I am booking in person doula services for October onward. I also offer Childbirth Education Packages and Mom & Partner Labor Preparation Sessions (bookable right through my website).

🏵️ Group classes:

Prenatal Yoga Sundays 1-2p at Vigilante Yoga in Watertown

Yoga for Moms with Sweat Like a Mother Fort Drum (about 2 times a month, next class is July 20th)

Alicia was my very first client and I am so happy that she felt supported through her pregnancy and birth.

I learned so much from being at her birth! And one thing I learned for sure...I want to support women in labor over and over!

I think about my clients, the women that come to my classes, all the time. I wonder how they are feeling, what they're thinking about, what they need.

Being able to serve women and their families in any small or big way is what I am called to do.
