This episode’s guest

Nicole Katz is a mother of two, long time yoga therapist and yogi of over 20 years. After the birth of her first daughter Nicoles eyes were opened to just how little we support moms during the birthing process and how that greatly affects their mothering journeys afterwards. Since that point Nicole has shifted her work to focus on maternal support. Currently Nicole lives in NYC where she works privately and in small group settings supporting moms in many ways from prep for labor to birth education to birth trauma work and beyond. She is over the moon to announce that her conference Rebranding Birth will premier in NYC this fall with the aim of informing and empowering women in a much larger scale. It’s time to Rebrand Birth!
