Welcome to Dani Katz Yoga, Birth, and Wellness. My mission is to provide holistic support and guidance through every stage of your wellness journey.

 

My Mission

I strive for my clients to feel supported, seen, and empowered in their time working with me and beyond. Here’s an overview of the services I offer:

  • My yoga services cater to a wide range of needs and experience levels, from prenatal and postnatal yoga to specialized classes for chronic injuries and private sessions. My approach to yoga is gentle, inclusive, and designed to foster a deep connection between body and mind.

    • Prenatal/Postnatal Yoga: Supporting expectant and new mothers with tailored yoga practices that promote holistic health, ease during pregnancy, and recovery postpartum.

    • Meditation: Guiding individuals through mindfulness practices to enhance mental clarity and peace.

    • Yoga for Chronic Injury: Providing gentle and effective yoga therapies designed to alleviate pain and improve mobility.

    • Private Yoga Sessions: Offering one-on-one attention in a private setting to address your specific needs and goals.

  • As a DONA-trained birth doula, I offer comprehensive support throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. My goal is to ensure you feel empowered, informed, and supported during this transformative time.

    • Prenatal Visits: Discuss your labor preferences and practice labor management techniques.

    • Labor Support: 24/7 on-call availability from the moment of hire, continuous support during labor, and immediate assistance with breastfeeding.

    • Postpartum Visits: In-home visits to assist with birth recovery, newborn care, and adjusting to life as new parents.

  • I am committed to supporting families during the postpartum period, offering guidance and practical assistance to ensure a smooth transition into parenthood.

    • Breastfeeding Support: Help with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and pumping.

    • Newborn Care: Guidance on caring for your newborn and establishing routines.

    • Household Management: Assistance with light cleaning, cooking, and organizing to help you focus on your recovery and bonding with your baby.

    • Emotional Support: A compassionate presence to help you process your birth experience and adjust to your new role.

  • Often referred to as "lazy man's yoga", this is like yoga being done to you. This is dynamic body work, done on the floor on mats, where you can expect to feel stretched out and ultra relaxed by the end.

  • I'm trained to encapsulate in the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method, where the placenta is first steamed before being dehydrated and put into capsules. I also include prints of the placenta on watercolor paper and the dried cord as a keepsake. Ask about other placenta medicines such as tincture or salve!

“Thanks to the Doula Access Initiative, I was lucky to have had Dani as a birth and postpartum doula. In our first meetings, she was very open and encouraging putting me at ease, answering any questions I had, and actually getting me excited and looking forward to the birth instead of fearing it! Her enthusiasm for birth work is magical; it’s clear that she’s knowledgeable and passionate and she transmits that to you every step of the way. I feel very fortunate to have had her by my side, preparing me physically and mentally, helping to guide me during the birth, and in the weeks and months after, helping me heal through movement as well as just talking things out. She has been an amazing resource in my journey to motherhood and for that I am ever grateful!”

“Dani was the perfect person to help me through the unique challenges, vulnerabilities, and surprises of postpartum. Her approach is a soothing mix of empathy and experience, equally adept in looking after new parents and their babies. My partner and I found it easy to trust her, and we always looked forward to her visits. Just having Dani around helps you feel like everything is under control! She’s hands-on while respecting boundaries and is willing to roll up her sleeves and help in any capacity. She draws from a deep of knowledge on infant development, pregnancy, the postpartum body, herbs, physiology and more. Put simply, Dani is an ideal guide through the trials, tribulations, and (yes!) joys of postpartum.”

“Building a team of support while pregnant helped me feel safe and confident. Dani was an integral part of that team, and her presence helped ground me. She was intentional during our times together and made sure my comfort, understanding, and overall well-being were tended to throughout the whole journey.”
