I walked in late for a postpartum massage and she was very understanding of my situation. I had back pain and just needed a good massage. The massage definitely paid off, it was so relaxing and she was great at what she does! The atmosphere was also perfect and I had no problem winding down to enjoy my massage. I already booked another appointment for myself and my husband! She specializes in Moms and babies and offers a tummy time class as well as doula services. I couldn't recommend this place more, it was amazing! Book an appointment and you'll see, tell her Autumn sent you!

Kari starts each session to discuss areas of focus or concern. She makes sure to address them during the massage. I also appreciate that she takes time after our session to discuss exercises or things I could do at home to alleviate any aches or pains I may have. She creates a very peaceful and relaxing environment. I almost fall asleep every time. We attended a few of her Tummy time sessions as well, and it was fun to get out and interact with other babies and new mothers. I also appreciated the handouts she provided so you can practice (and remember) what to do at home. I can't say enough good things about this place.

Having a doula completely transformed my birth experience. Jessie and Cassie are an absolute gift…read morein my life! I felt supported from day one of contacting Doulas of Kentuckiana. Throughout my pregnancy I recieved encouraging messages, answered questions, and felt fully cared for by Cassie. When it came time to give birth I felt confident and strong because every step of the way Jessie fully held me emotionally, physically, and mentally. She was there by my side for 26 hours. At some points I didn't even need to speak-- I would look up at Jessie and she intuitively knew what I needed. I had a beautiful birth experience thanks to the care, love and support I recieved from Jessie and Cassie. I am forever grateful to the Doulas of Kentuckiana for the genuine care and knowledge they gave me. I have so much love for that beautiful group of people!

Last week was a tough one. It was filled with work and personal struggles, on top of not being able…read moreto sleep due to being 18 weeks pregnant. So on Thursday, I decided that something had to change. I needed to do something for myself and my baby to help get me back in a better place. Enter: Modern Mama Wellness Center. I had heard about the prenatal yoga offered by Jackie and her business from a friend of mine, and considering the first class is free, I thought it couldn't hurt. I signed up for and attended Saturday morning's class. And wow, did it help me refocus my energies and feel better. I love yoga and have taken part in several classes through the years, but this one was different. It started with the seven of us in the class going around and introducing ourselves, saying how far along we are and what our biggest obstacle from the last week was. The entire class is low impact, which you can imagine for prenatal yoga. But even being low impact, I could tell immediately that it was making a difference. First of all, I had difficultly even keeping my eyes closed for the relaxation exercises at the beginning. That's how tense I was to start. But this got better throughout the class. Jackie included tidbits about pregnancy and labor throughout the class, such as how you can sit differently and use yoga poses to get the baby in a better position. And then at the end of the class, she came around and gave everyone neck and scalp massages with essential oil and placed warm rice packs on the back of your necks. I didn't have any trouble relaxing especially after that. Modern Mama is in a small building behind Louisville Family Chiropractic on New La Grange Road, near the malls on Shelbyville Road. Definitely know that before you go. And my one suggestion to Modern Mama would be to provide class prices on the website, social media or even on a pamphlet. I want to signup, but it's hard to keep the different price levels straight. Jackie also is a doula, I believe, and Modern Mama offers infant massage, childbirth classes and other wellness workshops, including a "comfort class for dads," which goes over how dads can comfort moms in labor. I can't wait to go back for another prenatal yoga class and for these classes to help me get stronger and prepare for having this baby.

I have been coming here about once every other week for the past couple of months. The classes are…read moreaffordable and small/intimate (with a max of 8 students each time). I kind of wish all yoga was this chill, with plenty of reminders to go at your own pace. I especially dig the Monday class when Ester works in some restorative poses towards the end of every class, along with some adjustments and lavender heated rice bags at the end. The sign up and payment process is super easy (online sign up, Venmo or cash payment). Every class has a short intro/sharing time at the beginning and the instructors are really kind and empathetic about the woes of pregnancy. It's a good way to get into the right head space. Also, I always always feel better after in terms of low back and hip pain, so that's a big plus!
