It’s bittersweet. As I began my yoga teacher training, as an employee for the City of Allen they nurtured my first official classes here. Over the years, I’ve taught all ages with a variety of classes from senior chair, prenatal and kids yoga. Such a beautiful community of yoga enthusiasts who’ve shown up for community events with outdoor yoga! Beyond grateful and excited for more! Thank you Divine Creator and all of you loves for creating, sharing, and holding space for me.

Talk about big, BIG LOVE!

Until we meet again!

Join me at The Healing Center at Blue Sky. 🙏🏽✨

Did you know yoga can prepare you and your loved one for birth? Having a developed practice is good prior to pregnancy, but you can start yoga in the 1st, 2nd and even the 3rd trimester and experience amazing results.
Movement matters for EVERY BODY. Yoga for EVERY BODY. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

THIS is one of my favorite ways to nurture couples and prepare them for labor. It’s such a wonderful reminder to the birth person that daily movement matters. Equally important to her supporting partner of how much physical, mental, and spiritual work goes into how they show up as well. An average first time birth can last up to 24 hours. This will mean your loved one will need massage, meals, and lots of mindful attention to successfully get to the other side. So many partners walk away from the birth process exhausted with little to no complaint (possibly in fear of being shamed) about how sore and tired they are as well. While we know it’s definitely not as strenuous as giving birth, but there’s a lot of work that goes into good support. Yoga is not only great for stretching, building strength and endurance; it helps with breath work and mindfulness to remain calm, and to listen to your body as well. Yoga is for EVERY BODY. Birth is intended to be a beautifully sacred way to connect to one another and bring you yet again even closer. Isn’t this a lovely way of connecting?

Lift this sweet family in prayer, their baby is expected any day now.

Happy Lover’s Day!

It has been our joy getting to know, love and love some more of this little sweet human. I was warned for our daughter’s entire pregnancy that life as a GRANDMommy would change me in ways I couldn’t imagine. I’d like to say I had some insight; as I recall years ago watching this same daughter jump on her Nana’s sofa and my mom simply replying sweetly “that’s okay.” to everything she did that would have gotten me in big trouble as a kid. Life is sweeter!

Over the last couple months I’ve had many moments to breathe, nourish, and share with dear ones in person. I look forward to extending this love back to all of you. Such greatness! I look forward to sharing much more with all of you soon!

Much love!
Love Talita

This is a part of my squad captured here back in the day. As a young Mom, I was grateful to have these dear sisters beside me(minus a few 😘).The one beside me (Shannon 💃🏽red)was the first mom to nurse her sweet baby. Although I had seen only a handful of women in my life nourish their baby this way, her divine guidance lit the path and inspired me to do the same. Even as a young mom and busy college student, I witnessed her also taking the time to assist another loved one with breastfeeding challenges. Not long after taking this picture we moved several states away from family and friends. With challenging nights and long days reflecting that she did difficult things and so could I sustained me. To say she influenced me as a young mom and catapulted me to help other moms along the way would be an understatement. To all of you nurturing your little ones; having a strong, positive, loving squad(spouse/partner,friends,family,community), great doula with resources loved ones around you for all the things really do matter!

Much Love!

A Male Doula! Yes! You read it right. Are you intrigued? I certainly am. What started out as a plan to make sure his sister was fully supported has completely changed Dustin Young’s outlook on birth. Join us on August 25th to dive in to what he thinks more men need to know about birth and why he made the decision to become a doula too!

For years, I have enjoyed many moments of guiding our daughters in yoga, but sessions these days have an extra special bonus! The grandSUN! 🙌

Prenatal yoga is such an amazing way to prepare for labor. Breath work, building strength, and focus are just a few of the benefits one can count on if they choose to engage in a regular practice while pregnant. Yes, rest is important, but being active is too. Keep moving!
Connect with body and baby. ✨

This is one of my favorite photos with the four of us. Just looking at it reminds me so much about the kind of person, mother, and best friend she was to each of us.

Her son was very shy growing up and I never heard her ever “make” him talk to anyone he didn’t feel comfortable talking to. She did her best to raise him as a single mom and was always there for him no matter what.

Her youngest, Shunda was described as a “tomboy”. June bought her the red shoes like her favorite cousin Glenn’s and never discouraged her from expressing her own style. She tried cheerleading, but you could tell she’d rather be on the field. The following season, June signed her up to play football. She was so excited to play with her friends and cousin. Shunda also chose baseball and could care less that she’d be the only girl on the team. Shunda never felt or had a need to “come out” to her because of how she loved her.

Our time together was shared talking for hours, watching movies, and playing games together. She once said to me that when it comes to compatibility Scorpios and Gemini’s were like oil and water. All 3 of us were born in November. To say she experienced many challenging moments would be an understatement. Consequently, it’s what I think of when I mix essential oils in water. The water allows the oils to go through the air shifting smell and lifting energy! She was the water the life force and we were the oil. We trusted, love, respected, and cared for her deeply.

I am truly grateful for her life and how she led the greatest example of unconditional love!

June 16th our Mother’s Day. ✨ Happy Heavenly BEarthday Momma June!

Happy Earth Day Loved Ones!

How do you honor and celebrate today? A few years back, we had a plan to attend as many Earth Day celebrations as possible. This event was at Dallas Fair Park.

Neighborly Love:
We have lived in our neighborhood for over 5 years and we love it here. For me, it feels like a refuge, a place of solace and peace. However, yesterday we became aware of a tragedy that occurred just yards away from our home. An entire family is gone. While I may not know this family personally, I know this community. Many of us are active in some form; we walk and wave. Our hearts grieve for this family knowing all too well the pain when loved ones struggle with mental health and lives are taken. While I can’t speak on the particulars to this home, in some way I know there are many of us who are really feeling this deeply. I woke up this morning asking what can I do? Spirit said give what you needed the day after your sister was taken. Tonight’s class is in honor of the family on Pine Bluff. May you Rest In Peace. ✨

We are here for one another.

An Empowered Birth:

Hey Loved ones! The saying “When you know better you do better.” is so true. As a Momma of 3 and 1 angel baby; I can tell you that I learned some very powerful lessons with each pregnancy, loss, and delivery. There were many things I wish I simply knew before that could have saved me some heartache and sleepless nights. Throughout the years, it has been a purposeful practice to share, encourage, and nurture many on their journey to motherhood. In this upcoming workshop, An Empowered Birth, my sister-partner doula Sherri and I set out to share many of the things we know all mothers need to know in order to feel better prepared for their birth. Join us as we unwrap:

⭐️Nutritiously delicious healthy foods to support a growing body and baby

⭐️Mindful movement and meditation

⭐️Rest and recovery

⭐️Your vibe and who you call your tribe

⭐️Working with your body and your birth team.

Plus more, much more. 🙌

Feel free to DM me with questions. Link for the registration is in the bio.

Share this post with a loved one anywhere (that speaks English 😉 I’m working on more), because this workshop is virtual!

Much love!
