About Kristy Mia

My passion and mission are deeply rooted in empowering women to live the life they deserve and desire, with less stress and overwhelm, and more joy and ease. My expertise from trainings has propelled me into this career, but it was my experience as a mother of three boys that ignited my desire to support other mothers who are struggling with so many demands upon them that lead to exhaustion and many other challenges.

My ultimate goal is to ensure that these incredible women feel seen, heard, and appreciated. I encourage them to embrace the concept of "selfishness" by reorganizing their lives in ways that prioritize self-care and establish patterns and routines that bring ease and balance while reminding them of the true worth.

I am an accomplished mentor and coach with a passion for inspiring and motivating mothers to conquer overwhelm and find fulfillment and balance in their lives. My exceptional clarity, strength, and confidence equip mothers with the power to unleash their full potential and create the life they truly desire.

My journey has been diverse and filled with remarkable experiences. I hail from upstate New York, spent significant time living in Philadelphia and Washington, DC, and embarked on cross-country journeys not once, but twice. For the past 24 years, California has been my cherished and beloved place I call home. However, once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker!

Exploration and travel are my greatest passions, and I seize every opportunity to venture into new and exciting destinations. Hiking is a regular ritual in my life, and I hold a profound appreciation for the serenity of nature. To deepen my connection with the natural world, I ensure that I embark on kayaking adventures, participate in the exhilarating journey of Hawaiian Outrigger canoeing, ride the ocean waves body surfing, and engage in the purifying experience of swimming in the open sea or tranquil bay waters. I find solace in floating on pristine lakes, and always take the exhilarating opportunity to leap off towering cliffs into the refreshing river waters.

However, the most expansive, exploratory, and inspiring journey I have had is through motherhood in the San Francisco East Bay area. I am blessed to be a mother to three wonderful sons who are my greatest teachers and loves!! I also have a chocolate lab named Rocco who is my sweet companion who keeps up with me on my adventures in life and is the best cuddler, two sweet kitties named Coconut and Nutmeg, and some bees and chickens that bring us all joy, as well as yummy honey and eggs.

My dream career as a doula and childbirth educator started two decades ago, even before I became a mother myself. The spark to move into this realm ignited during one of my yoga teacher trainings. I felt inspired to support women in having empowered births and joyful experiences with birth, postpartum wellness, and mothering.

Alongside my yoga teaching and doula work, I completed my certification as a nutritionist, guiding people holistically toward optimal health. These three modalities have not only allowed me to reach unprecedented heights with my students and clients but also helped me navigate the challenges of motherhood during times of overwhelm and stress and live a more balanced and healthy life.

Throughout the past 18 years, my children have remained my top priority. It has been a remarkable experience, full of so much love, happiness, adventures, celebrations too many to count, and as well as exhaustion, frustrations, and challenges. You cannot have good without bad. The challenges help you to savor all the good and be fully appreciative!

There was a period in my life when I found myself not making room for my own needs and aspirations. I was shouldering a load that was far too heavy, all while lacking the support and partnership that I both deserved and desperately needed. The burden of doing it all began to take a toll on me. I was stretched thin, battling overwhelm, and struggling to advocate for myself. While I was fully relishing in my children and engaging in so much joy with them, I was neglected by myself and in my marriage. The pressures of constantly caring for others, even to the detriment of my own well-being, ultimately pushed me to a point of physical and emotional exhaustion.

My journey is a reflection of the experiences of countless mothers who have been conditioned to believe that selflessness and self-sacrifice are the noblest virtues. It's as if our own needs, desires, and interests are overshadowed by the perpetual demands of family life. It took navigating through some of the darkest moments in my life to reach a resounding realization – I deserved more than the life I was settling for. My worth isn't dictated by someone else's perception of me or their narrative about who I should be. I came to understand that I could lead a fulfilling, joyous, and celebratory life on my terms, one that was a true reflection of my desires and aspirations.

I'm all about embracing vulnerability and authenticity, even if it means not being everyone's cup of tea. My journey is a balancing act between being the best mom I can be and constantly deepening my self-awareness, a commitment to personal growth, and a thirst for knowledge. I take pride in my unwavering dedication to learning and evolving in every facet of my life, never giving up on myself.

Life can be quite the rollercoaster, filled with ups and downs, but I firmly believe that we can not only endure but also discover true joy amidst the chaos. Drawing from my extensive training and personal experiences, I'm here to offer my support and guidance as you navigate your unique path through motherhood and self-discovery, all while embracing your nurturing spirit, inner strength, and boundless confidence. Every woman holds within her the potential to unveil her greatness and let her radiant light shine.

The world craves women like you, incredible mothers who are nurturing the future leaders and change-makers of the world. But you're not just that; you're a woman who's delved deep into her own self-discovery, unearthed her unique greatness, and refuses to let anything dim her radiant light.
