Hi, I’m Kristy Mia.

My passion and mission are rooted in empowering women to live the life they deserve and desire—one filled with less stress and overwhelm, and more joy and ease. While my training and expertise as a Holistic Nutritionist, Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Yoga teacher have shaped my career and paved the way for this journey of guiding women, it was my experience as a mother of three boys that ignited my desire to support other mamas struggling with the overwhelming demands of motherhood. I understand the exhaustion and challenges that can arise, and I’m here to help you navigate through them.

My ultimate goal is to ensure that incredible women like you feel seen, heard, and appreciated. That we ignite that inner fire to put down the things that are not ours to carry and find the freedom and passion to embrace life and live it to the fullest.

I encourage you to embrace the concept of “selfishness” by prioritizing self-care and establishing routines that bring balance and ease into your life, and rituals for celebration, all while reminding you of your true worth. Let me show you how!

Empowering Mothers Through Growth and Self-Discovery

A journey of transformation from overwhelmed mother to empowered woman. With a rich background in doula work, childbirth education, nutrition, yoga, and personal experiences, I inspire and guide mothers to embrace their inner strength, find joy amidst challenges, and thrive both in motherhood and in life. Through vulnerability, healing inner wounds, listening to her intuition, practicing regular self-care, and embracing her spirit with exploration, every woman has the potential to ignite and reveal her greatness and shine her brightest.

As a mentor and coach, I am passionate about inspiring mothers to conquer overwhelm and find fulfillment in their lives. My clarity, strength, and confidence equip you with the tools to unleash your full potential and create the life you truly desire.
My dream career as a doula and childbirth educator began two decades ago, inspired during one of my yoga teacher trainings. I felt a calling to support women in having empowered births and joyful postpartum experiences. I found the passion to support all women as a birth advocate. Alongside my yoga teaching, childbirth prep and doula work, I completed my certification as a nutritionist in 2003, guiding people holistically toward optimal health. These modalities have allowed me to reach new heights with my students and clients while helping me navigate the challenges of motherhood and live a more balanced life.
The world craves incredible mothers like you, nurturing future leaders and change-makers. But remember, you are not just a mother; you are a woman who has delved into her own self-discovery, unearthed her unique greatness, and refuses to let anything dim her radiant light.

Life and Motherhood Journey

My journey is a blend of resilience, growth, and the profound adventure of raising three boys. Growing up in upstate New York with a big, close-knit family, I was fortunate to be surrounded by love and support. My mom was a pillar of strength who overcame her own struggles to raise four kids, and her example taught me the true meaning of perseverance.

Before finding my home in the San Francisco East Bay 26 years ago, I experienced life in different areas of New York and in Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Once I settled in California, I embraced the beauty of the Bay Area and the vibrancy of San Francisco. It was important to me to share my love of adventure and exploration with my boys, so we spent countless days hiking trails, discovering nature, and enjoying the Bay area and city's many treasures. Those moments brought us closer and cultivated a shared love for the outdoors (and fabulous food!).

But my journey through motherhood was far from easy. I was married for 15 years of my motherhood journey, but most often, I found myself parenting alone. The weight of trying to do it all was heavy, and I faced exhaustion and overwhelm while navigating the challenges of motherhood without consistent support. I was extremely happy and engaged with my children, but I became ill with Autoimmune issues. Eventually, after 18 years of marriage and 22 years together, I became a single mom, taking on the full responsibility of raising my three incredible boys and starting the real journey to ME!

Despite the struggles, the four of us built a world full of joy, love, and unforgettable memories. We created magic out of some of the most chaotic moments and stressful times, finding laughter and strength in the face of adversity. My boys are my greatest loves and teachers, helping me to grow and evolve in ways I never imagined.

I know firsthand what it's like to be in the trenches—feeling like you’re running on fumes while giving your whole heart to your children. But I also know it’s possible to thrive and find your way to a place of joy. I’m a fabulous mama who loves my boys fiercely, and I’m thriving now, not because it was easy, but because I embraced growth amid the struggle.

I’m here to help other mamas find their strength, embrace the messiness, and not just thrive alongside their little ones, but truly create a life they love that feels free and fulfilling. With our chocolate lab Rocco, two sweet kitties Coconut and Nutmeg, and a few bees and chickens adding their own charm to our lives, we continue to live, love, and grow together. Motherhood is a beautiful, wild adventure—and we’re in it together.

Balancing Motherhood, Self-Care, and Overcoming Challenges

For the past 19 years, my children have been my greatest joy, filling my life with love, adventure, and countless celebrations. But those moments of happiness were often mixed with exhaustion and frustration. I poured everything I had into being the best mama I could be, believing that selflessness was the key. In the process, I found myself neglecting my own needs, trying to carry the weight of everyone’s well-being without the support I needed. I slowly lost sight of myself, convinced that sacrificing my desires and dreams was just part of being a “good” mother and wife.

Over time, I began to realize that I deserved more than just surviving in a constant state of overwhelm. My worth wasn't tied to how much I gave up for others—it was rooted in my own sense of self. It took courage, vulnerability, and a commitment to personal growth to understand that I could be both a devoted mother and a woman who honors herself. I learned that taking care of my own needs didn’t make me any less of a loving mom; in fact, it made me stronger, more present, and more joyful.

Finding that balance between motherhood and self-nurturance was a transformative journey. It involved embracing healing practices, setting boundaries, releasing toxic people and energy, finding community, and discovering strategies that brought me back to life. I found that when I nurtured myself, I had more energy, patience, and love to give my children. The right support and techniques helped me uncover a sense of freedom that I hadn’t realized was possible. Now, I’m living proof that you can thrive as both a mother and a woman who prioritizes her own well-being. I don’t have it perfectly set on all days, but the foundation and instincts are there to pull me back to center quickly.

I’m here to help you do the same. You don’t have to choose between being a great mama and taking care of yourself. With the right support, and belief in yourself, you can find the tools to heal, the strategies to nurture your own spirit, and the community to lift you up when you need it most. I’m committed to guiding other mothers through their own journeys of rediscovery and empowerment, so you can step out of the chaos and into a life of fulfillment and pure joy.

Together, let’s navigate this path and create a life where you don’t just give to others—you also give back to yourself and feel Oh-so-good!
