Peace on Earth Begins at Birth

Classes & Services

Step into the kind of motherhood that feels like magic, peaceful, powerful, and deeply supported.

Hi, sweet mama. Whether you’re moving through pregnancy, preparing for birth, or cradling your brand new baby, I’ve got something gentle and life changing for you. Everything I teach comes from over twenty years of walking beside thousands of families, plus three decades of studying movement, healing, and birth across the world, from California and Maui to Egypt and Australia. I’ve distilled the very best of it all into offerings that fit beautifully into your real life.

Since 2005, I have been providing prenatal and childbirth education services starting in San Francisco and Berkeley (California), then moving to Maui (Hawaii), and Switzerland. I offer both private sessions and group classes, and have taught at prestigious institutions including:

  • Kaiser Permanente Medical Center
  • Maui Family Support Services
  • University of Hawaii
  • Valley Isle Childbirth Education
  • San Francisco Community Childbearing Institute and Birth Center

My professional training spans California, Hawaii, Egypt, and Australia, and is grounded in more than 30 years of study and practice in dance, movement, and natural health. I have synthesized this diverse expertise into my signature workshop, Easier Natural Childbirth,™, and formerly hosted the international online radio show Natural Pregnancy, Birth & Parenting, where I interviewed leading birth experts from around the world.

Minimalist Healthy Home Challenge

Peace on Earth Begins at Birth

Learn the simple steps that can bring more peace to the world.

Did you know that peace on Earth can start at birth – from the moment life starts? It all hinges on something we’ve overlooked for far too long – motherhood. Not just as a biological event, but as a sacred rite of passage, a moment when a woman becomes something else entirely. It should be honored as a big deal. Because when we nurture mothers, we spark a happiness that ripples out to their babies. A mother’s joy, or her stress, flows to her baby in the womb.

Researchers have found that a pregnant woman’s emotional state shapes her child’s development, wiring their little brains for calm or chaos. Then there’s this mind-blowing fact: babies remember birth. Psychologists say those first moments imprint on a child’s sense of the world – safe or scary, gentle or harsh.

So here’s my question: knowing this, why aren’t we making it a priority to keep pregnant women happy? To give them beautiful, peaceful births? And to wrap them in support afterward? What if we could double, or triple the happiness we’re putting into the world, just by starting at the source?

What Our Happy Mothers Say

  • "Zoe, thank you so much for a wonderful introduction to Hypnobirthing. I am so grateful to have found you even if I only got you for 2 hours!! You truly are so magical and I wish you could be a part of my journey with me."
    — Jacey, mother of Rowyn
  • "I am sure it (prenatal belly dance) helped to keep my hips looser and abdomen stronger going into my third trimester. It certainly added to the fun of being pregnant."
    — Lilia Beattie, mother of Ilima
  • "I had a beautiful birth and am happy with how everything turned out. I think your classes really helped me let go of a lot of the fear I had about labor and boost my confidence going into it. My labor was so fast and sudden that I never really had time to catch my breath once the contractions started to be painful. I was only in labor for like 3 hours (that I was aware of) and only had to push like 15 minutes. before Emma was born. I am sure the relaxation and belly dancing helped with that too."
    — Rachel Davis, mother of Emma
  • "It is hard for me to pinpoint a specific method because I found that Zoe's Yoga practice overall had a profound impact on our birthing process. Everything from the breathing exercises to the actual yoga positions ALL helped us have a natural birth. Another important aspect from class that helped us during labor was the simple mantra she taught us...let your body and baby work together in harmony. I found myself saying this repeatedly in my mind. I contribute Zoe's knowledge of Yoga, insight to natural birthing, and her passion of motherhood to having such an amazing, natural birth. I highly recommend participating in any of Zoe's classes. She is a knowledgeable mother with nothing but love and kindness to give. Thanks again Zoe! Much Love and Light to you and your beautiful family."
    — Kathryn Sechrest, mother of Hudson
  • "The visualizations and affirmations that Zoe offered me during pre-natal yoga classes were very helpful when I was in labor and delivering my baby. They reminded me that I am healthy and capable of having a complicated free birth process. I am grateful for the tools she offered me and my newborn."
    — KC, mother of Kira
  • "I felt instantly comfortable with Zoe as she graced our home with her presence. She was knowledgable, informative, and warm with spirit. She shared with us a yoga technique, called the Ujai breath, that I found most useful in my birth. I used this breath, rather than pushing, to ease my child through the birth canal. It was almost as if I breathed him out! Thank you Zoe for sharing such a wonderful technique."
    — Taryn Leigh, mother of Elakai
  • "Zoe's prenatal yoga class was intimate and informative. The ujai breathing/relaxation technique she taught us, I used during labor. Focusing on the deep, slow, strong breaths was more than a welcome distraction from the pangs of childbirth. I combined it with more common breathing exercises, all of which allowed me to relax as best as I could. It definitely helped me deal with over six hours of pain. I highly recommend Zoe's class to all expectant mothers."
    — Christine Pulido, mother of Oren
  • "Aloha Zoe, I can say that I definitely used the breathing techniques you taught me & birth affirmations. In the end we have been blessed with a beautiful, health baby girl & couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much for the awesome prenatal yoga classes I really enjoyed them & getting to know you as well. Take care, Crystal"
    — Crystal, mother of Isabella
  • "During my pregnancy, Zoe shared useful information with me about the various 'tools' that one could use during birth. From our belly dancing class I learned about the 'camel walk' which helped with my heart burn and posture during pregnancy. During the birth, when my body stalled, I used the camel walk to focus my mind and keep my body in motion. However, the best tool shared was the hip circle as Zoe taught it. I had learned about hip circles in other prenatal exercise classes, but she really made sure I understood how to do them. In my pregnant body, moving the hips without moving the entire body was a challenge. Zoe broke the movements down and also directed me to guide the breath so that my pelvis was effectively moving and working with my body. While birthing, Zoe's hip circles were my main tool of relief and concentration. I attribute Zoe's gift of guidance and tools as part of the reason we were able to experience an unmedicated and natural birth."
    — Maria Luisi, mother of Luca
  • "I took prenatal yoga and belly dance lessons with Zoe and a prenatal workshop - Easier Natural Childbirth, with her. The evening when the contractions began, I started doing some of the belly dance moves that Zoe had taught me. I also used the breathing technique that I learned from her workshop. Doing these eased the pain, so I delayed going to the hospital and when I arrived there I was already in a pretty advanced labor stage. The baby was born 1.5 hrs after I arrived in the hospital without using any pain relief. The nurse told me that was the fastest first child birth she had seen in 20 years. Doing the exercises that Zoe taught me, not only during labor, but throughout my pregnancy helped me to stay in good shape, have a comfortable pregnancy and an easy birth."
    — Milena Kari, mother of Nina
