    I'm not sure I have the words to fully describe how incredible Mary is. After our daughter was…read moreborn, my husband said that the three birth essentials are diapers, wipes, and Mary--and I couldn't agree more. Mary's prenatal yoga classes are incredibly calming and create such a beautiful sense of community. You meet wonderful moms and moms-to-be, and Mary has a gift for transporting you into a place of peace and relaxation during a time that can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Her prenatal doula appointments are never rushed and provide invaluable education, guidance, and preparation for birth. Throughout my pregnancy, I was able to text Mary with questions, concerns, and fears, and her insight and support were always incredibly valuable. When it came time to give birth, Mary was truly indispensable. She started as a calming presence during contractions, helping distract me from the intensity, keeping me focused, and providing constant encouragement. During pushing, she guided me through different positions and became my biggest cheerleader. After 4 1/2 hours of pushing, I had reached a point where I felt completely defeated and ready to give up. Mary never let me lose faith in myself and helped me find the strength to keep going. I truly believe that without her support, my birth experience would have looked very different and likely involved more interventions. Her care didn't stop after delivery. During postpartum visits, she arrived with delicious homemade goodies, checked in on my recovery, and continued to provide reassurance and guidance when I needed it most. Mary is a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and support during one of the most transformative, vulnerable, and sometimes scary experiences of your life. Having her by my side was one of the best decisions we made, and I genuinely cannot imagine going through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum without her.

    I cannot recommend Mary Skinner enough. She is not just a doula--she is an angel sent from heaven…read moreto make your labor and delivery experience as smooth, supported, and empowering as possible. From the moment we connected, Mary's depth of knowledge, warmth, and intuition put me at ease. She met with my partner and me before delivery, spending hours walking us through what to expect, how to prepare my body, and how my partner could actively support my experience. No question was too small, and she answered my endless stream of inquiries with patience, wisdom, and zero judgment. When it came time to labor, Mary was by my side every step of the way. Even though my birth was not what we planned, Mary advocated for me and created a calm and sacred space with soothing massages, body oils, and sound bowls. When I think back to my labor and birth story, I literally see her face... she practically labored WITH me through her hands on support, coaching, encouragement, guidance, and unwavering empowerment. It carried me through. And her care didn't stop there. Postpartum, Mary showed up at my home with a bundle of thoughtful recovery goodies. She not only provided a healing full-body massage and prepared a soothing sitz bath, but she also cleaned my (very messy) postpartum bathroom--without hesitation or judgment. Her level of care, both physically and emotionally, is unparalleled. Mary was truly a godsend during my first pregnancy, and I will undoubtedly hire her again for every one of my future births! If you're considering working with her, don't walk--RUN to book her. She is simply the best of the best.

    I looooove H2Yoga!!!Sue is great and very professional. I…read morehave been taking prenatal classes and it saved me from sciatica, constant swelling and overall tiredness. Your body feels weightless and you are doing bump friendly exercises that are definitely helping your butt,thighs and torso to stay in shape. Unfortunately I had to stop coming because I am not driving due to recent car accident.But I had 5 classes left that I purchased before.. So Sue extended my expiration date till next summer.So nice of her!...I am planning to come back as soon as I can after the baby arrives! Can't wait to start H2Yoga again and get back to my normal body size... About some comments here that the workout is too slow: you gotta do exactly like the instructor says and it won't seam slow anymore.The exercises are very specific and have to be done right.Good thing Sue always explains great and makes sure everyone gets it. Also think about the fact that when you are in water your body is already spending calories to keep your body temperature,which means you are burning calories in double. I am always super hungry right after a class...

    I took Sue's 930pm class (beginners) and after reading all of the other Yelpers reviews I think…read morewhat is truly missing is a clear picture of what actually HAPPENS in class rather than reviews of personal injuries and emotional platitudes that honestly are inspiring but will not help the wider community of individuals who just want to know what they're getting into. For one, this class really should NOT be labeled h2o YOGA. But rather better served as a water MOVEMENT and stretch class. As no traditional Yoga poses instructions (Asanas) such as Warrior, Half Moon, etc. are used. Instead she has uses her own vocabulary like Frogs pose that you must decipher. These instructions can be difficult to hear because of the splashing and swimming noise from the lap pool 8 feet away. This was at "quiet time" so I cannot imagine how awful this would be during peak hours with an entire swim team practicing next to you. The heated pool is shallow so you are at most neck deep at times. Each person is given two pool noodles and leg and wrist weights. However these aren't actual weights that you see in the gym but rather they are more like miniature life jackets wrapped around your limbs. The arm sequence was incredibly uncomfortable and did not resemble Yoga poses unfortunately. For example, you are told to hold the noodles apart, then overlap the noodles, then push the noodles underwater. If you have ever tried shoving pool noodles underwater for several minutes at a time, you know annoying it is, even if it a slight workout. Especially when Sue keeps telling you to "stop relying" on your arms, even though she is telling you to hold flotation noodles underwater...with...your arms. Though I did see in the promo photos of people doing tree pose underwater (which is what I was absolutely hoping for, the same wonderful Asanas but with less weight) That was not the case during my class. Instead it was the repetitious noodle sequence of: hold noodles apart, push noodles together, push noodles underwater. Again hold noodles apart, push noodles together, push noodles underwater. We did this sequence ad nauseam throughout the entire class. And though you could argue some of the same muscles may be used, so many poses execute best when you are at least in contact with a solid surface with some light gravity and resistance. For example, her "child's pose" was basically you bending your knees at your chest while holding the pool noodles. Some poses did not translate or were unrecognizable and labeled with her own vocabulary. And to be frank, I feel I did not get any sort of cardio, stretch or strengthening workout. If you are hoping to utilize this as an alternative, less weight bearing preparation for a regular yoga class, this is not it. This was more a water movement and stretch class for those who truly cannot do other forms of exercise and just want to rediscover movement again without the fear of going to a traditional gym. So why the two stars? This is where I felt there was severe lack of attunement. I have extremely low blood pressure (genetics) which means I get cold VERY quickly. I was forced to stand outside of the 90 degree therapy pool with my teeth chattering and shivering violently at the beginning of class while she gives me instructions. I tell her, "I am freezing may I at least stand in 3 feet of water while you give me instructions because my teeth are chattering so loudly I literally cannot hear you." She denies me flat out and says, "You can get in after I give you the instructions" and then continues on as if it was nothing. These lower back instructions could have easily been given while my legs are in water. So I am standing there in a dripping wet bathing suit, teeth chattering, lips blue while she herself was dressed in winter clothing: long pants, a long sleeved zip up, a beanie (ski hat), and UGG boots. Even though I am visibly distraught and verbally told her so. She denies me once again from entering the pool because I was still not doing the lower back movement right. At this point, I do not care what I am doing "right", I am just trying to avoid catching a cold!! And this is my first time, I may not catch on from your 5 minute speech. And no, this was not a question of safety if I didn't get this right away. As a first timer she tells me to follow other classmates as my guide. Great! However, I was placed in the front row with all of the other classmates behind me and no one next to me. So unless I had eyes on the back of my head, this was not impossible. Even when I was able to see the other classmates, you are chest deep in water so you cannot actually "see" clearly what movements they are doing unless your head is underwater with goggles. The lack of attunement, poor class set up and no resemblance to Yoga made me pass on this. But I encourage others to check it out and see for yourself. Prenatal sounds like it'd be great.

Im 7 months pregnant and have been suffering from sciatica that comes and goes this time around. I was looking for a natural approach for relief, found her website online and reached out. She asked me a few questions and scheduled a reservation for her custom synergy service.The space was warm feeling, clean, and beautifully decorated. Christian is very knowledgeable. She went over the essential oils she customized for me and why she particularly chose them. We also talked about me, my pregnancy, and my experience w/ essential oils. We got to the service and let me tell you..as soon as she massaged the essentials oils in my back I felt fast relief from the inflammation and muscle tension! It had been bothering me for the past week! All of her sessions come w/ a complementary body rub as well! I booked the 90 min session because she gives 1st time Guest Deals and wish I could have stayed longer. To wrap everything up she used the hot towels. When I got up I felt physical relief and mentally in a state of relaxation. The cherry on top was she GIFTED me the Synergy she used in our session so I can can continue treatments at home! Christian is 10/10, and I already booked my next appointment! She offers other services you have to go on her site. Im so glad to have found her!

    Let me start by saying Jen is absolutely amazing! She is kindhearted, genuine and compassionate!…read moreShe truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. We interviewed a lot of doulas before deciding to hire Jen. I had honestly already selected a doula I wanted and almost cancelled the consultation appointment with Jen but something told me to keep it and I am so glad I did. After chatting with her I knew she was the one. Her energy and calming voice was exactly what I knew I needed! Jen has been there for me EVERY step of the way on this wild rollercoaster to motherhood! She is always just a text or call away and the amount of time I've called her and spent an hour or more on the phone with her just crying, venting, laughing or bouncing thoughts with her. She's quickly become one of my dear friends! At my birth she was pivotal, and kept me calm by helping with breathing tactics and pain management tools. She even helped me push my baby out. I am so grateful to have walked this journey and to keep walking this journey with you Jen! Thankfully we also added on her postpartum package and she has been spoiling me with yummy meals, foot and back massages, sitz baths and loving on my son. Jen is an absolute gem and I highly recommend her! Oh and I almost forgot she captured my birth beautifully too with photos and videos. And the education she gives during her prenatal visits are like nothing else any other doula does. Most doulas start there visits in late 3rd trimester and show up at the birth. Jen walked along this ENTIRE journey with me. I am so grateful to her for everything!
