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 joy, ease, and purpose, instead of stress and overwhelm. 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’ve faced the exhaustion, the challenges, and the pressures of motherhood firsthand, and I know how heavy it can feel.

At the heart of my work is a deep desire to help women feel empowered and supported through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I believe every woman deserves a birth experience filled with ease, comfort, connection, good health, and confidence. Together, we’ll prepare you to approach childbirth with clarity and calm, paving the way for a beautiful transition into motherhood where those same qualities—ease, connection, health, and confidence—become the foundation for your journey ahead.

I’m here to help incredible women like you let go of what doesn’t serve you, embrace your worth, and reclaim the freedom to live fully and unapologetically. Together, we’ll create space for balance, joy, and rituals that celebrate your unique journey, while nurturing the fire within you to live life on your terms.

Let me show you how to prioritize yourself—not selfishly, but as an act of love—for you, your birth, and those you care for. You’re worth it, and I can’t wait to help you rediscover just how powerful you truly are!

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

A Journey of Love, Growth, and Rediscovery

For the past 19 years, my children have been my greatest joy—my heartbeat and my daily reminder of what pure love looks like. Together, we’ve explored, laughed, adventured, and celebrated life in all its beautiful messiness. From cliff jumps and road trips to kitchen dance parties and cozy mornings, every moment with them has been a gift beyond words.

But woven into those moments of magic were seasons of exhaustion, loneliness, and overwhelm. I gave everything I had to being the best mama I could be, believing that selflessness was the secret to love. In the process, I lost touch with parts of myself—my dreams, my needs, my passions. I carried the weight of everyone’s well-being on my shoulders, often forgetting that I, too, needed care, rest, and joy. I told myself that sacrificing my own fulfillment was simply what a “good” mother and wife did. I was happy as a mom, but I wasn’t thriving as me.

Over time, I began to realize something powerful: motherhood was never meant to be martyrdom. My worth wasn’t defined by how much I gave up—it was rooted in who I am. It took courage, vulnerability, and deep self-work to rediscover that I could be both a devoted mother and a woman who honors her own needs, desires, and boundaries. I learned that nurturing myself didn’t take away from my love for my children—it expanded it.

That awakening transformed everything. As I embraced healing practices, set boundaries, released toxic energy, and found supportive community, I began to flourish again. I had more energy, patience, and laughter to share. I rediscovered the freedom of living as a whole, joyful woman—one who could mother with heart and live with purpose.

Now, I’m here to help other mothers do the same. Because you don’t have to choose between being a loving, present mama and a woman who feels alive and fulfilled. You can have both—and you deserve both.

Through somatic yoga healing, breathwork, nutrition guidance, massage, trauma release, and motherhood mentoring, I help women reconnect with themselves, find balance, and step into a life of ease, empowerment, and radiant joy.

Together, we’ll create a path where you not only nurture your family—you nurture your self, too.
Because when you thrive, your whole world blossoms. 🌸
