    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!

    If there is one aspect about life that I understand most, it is excruciating physical pain. It…read morebegan as a toddler and never truly stopped. Sure, there were waves of peace. Typically, the peace would be interrupted by the car that struck the left side of my body and flipped me onto my neck. Or, the drunk driver that hit me head on. Maybe even the other three car wrecks I experienced. Not to mention two knee replacements. I've fallen from a second-floor building and tripped on my own feet too many times to count. When melanoma hit me in hair school... my 40-hour school week and 50-hour work week put me in a spin of daily episodes. But when you have learned to live with pain and watched your mother do the same, being alive and happy takes the edge away. Trust and belief that this would pass caused it to do so. Before any of these incidents fell onto my path... what some call auto-immune diseases tortured me on a day to day basis. Most of my body would feel as if knives were piercing my skin. The last 6 years have been free of this pain minus the times around my body experiencing trauma. I am happy to report that it is few and far between when an episode hits. Yesterday, was one of those days. My feet could barely touch the ground without a jerk reaction pulling my body off the breathing fire train I was strolling on. Now onto why I am sharing personal information I do not often toss around like salad... finding bodywork to zap stagnant fascia energy like a lightsaber has been the key for me since I was a little tater tot. For starters, if you too need a heavy release of fascia... Sarga will be your jam. It taps into the subtle body and asks the therapist to find listening ears/hands when healing the dormant energy. Today, I stepped off the massage table * for the first time in my adult life * completely worked out of every stabbing pain and screaming fire inside of my body. Thank you, Arielle. I still feel as if I am walking on water and flowing with the sea.

At my last appointment, Arielle suggested lymphatic work to help with a recently sprained ankle. It was an amazing experience! Within a day I started walking without a brace or ankle pain and the joint pain in my hands which I've had for about 5 years is completely gone! Thanks Arielle!
