Working with Nora was a blessing to me as she came into my life just three months after I welcomed my first child. She was an invaluable teacher who provided me with unwavering support. Nora helped me establish a self-paced environment that enabled me to focus on my personal healing and foster a deeper connection between my mind, body, and soul. For anyone in the postpartum phase, I cannot recommend working with Nora highly enough.

Prior to my pregnancy, I had no prior experience with yoga and was hesitant about undertaking a new activity. Thankfully, Nora was quick to put me at ease and she was adept at simplifying the poses and breathing techniques to suit my individual needs. Her knowledge is immense and I am appreciative of having Fate lead me to her during this juncture of my existence.

Nora's private sessions left me feeling well-equipped for my childbirth experience. I became well-versed in helpful breathing methods, calming meditations, and visualization techniques that I currently apply even as a novice mother, anytime I require a chance to center and collect myself. I can passionately encourage anyone to collaborate with her!
