Adrienne lives in the Beach and spends a lot of time with her new baby Arlo, dear friends and their gaggle of children. |
"My husband and I really enjoyed our Yoga Mamas Childbirth Education session with Adrienne. We felt that because the class size was small enough (only 6 couples) we were able to really get to know the other parents-to-be in our class. Having that sense of connection with the other couples really helps when discussing your thoughts and emotions, and you don't feel afraid to ask questions. We also felt that the content that Adrienne covered was extensive and really encouraged each of the couples to explore and navigate their own journey through pregnancy and prepare for birth. Adrienne was great at teaching us to advocate for our own choices as parents. And of course, the TYM studio is such a warm and welcoming place; being in a familiar location was comfortable and enjoyable."
