"Peace in our world begins with cultivating peace in utero.  A society that supports women, parents, & children to take time to nurture inner and outer relationships during and after pregnancy will transform our world in a positive way."     Michelle Maniaci

Enjoy the experience of your true nature... peace, joy, & love with a unique approach that integrates yoga therapy, therapeutic belly dance, music, & massage with science based movement principles on land & in the water.  This unique combination offers the highest degree of safety & effectiveness from a deep understanding of how the body-mind-spirit-energy functions.  Nurturing Moves mimic the natural movements the body uses during labor & birth.  Coordinating postural, respiratory, and core muscles results in improved stability of the spine and pelvis with mobility, and optimal functioning of the internal organs.  Movements are done with awareness, a smile, and gratitude for every moment.  Michelle acknowledges the importance of establishing a nurturing relationship with her clients to serve as a catalyst for optimal healing and to promote positive outcomes.  Services are highly individualized for your unique goals and are always evolving.

Classes celebrate a woman's femininity, birthing ability, and creativity.
  Mom & baby classes provide safe & effective postpartum recovery with developmental play, infant signing, and massage.  Mother-daughter & special needs classes are a fun way to strengthen relationships & self esteem while also inspiring peace, healthy lifestyles, & fitness for our children.












Wishing you well on your journey, and looking forward to sharing the benefits of Nurturing Moves with you and your family!
