FAQs

What do we do in sessions?

I will provide supportive guidance as you navigate your way of creating desired changes in your life. Whether it's about cyclical living, embracing who are today, mothering support, accessing your natural intuition, learning how to self-advocate and research, yoga and somatic practices, or self-healing --- I'm here to support as you move through this phase of life.

Do you take insurance?

No. With this freedom I am not restricted by licensing or insurance agreements. You and I can speak candidly about whatever is weighing on your heart and mind.

Do I need to prepare anything for our sessions?

Not necessarily. It's often worthwhile to have an idea of what you would like to share, discuss, or brainstorm about. (When booking sessions you will be prompted to share your purpose/reason of appointment. It is okay to not be crystal clear on your purpose. I will assist you in figuring out priority.)

Also, at the same time, I understand the gift it is to simply show up: as is. Please show up the way you desire. I'm here for you.

What if I need to cancel our session?

You may cancel anytime up to 6 hours before our session. Emergency cancellations will be addressed on case-by-case basis.

I have a question that hasn't been addressed.

Testimonials
  • As a prenatal chiropractor, I have worked closely with Elise and many of her prenatal yoga students in the past 2 years. I consistently find that the women under my care that are also attending regular prenatal yoga classes with Elise experience less discomfort in their pregnancy, report stronger emotional connections to their bodies, and they consistently state they feel better prepared for labor and delivery. If you are looking for a way to safely exercise but also want a beautiful way to connect with your body prior to delivery seek out classes with Sweet Momma Yoga. Lastly, Elise goes above and beyond to create a sense of community for her students. She has created a thriving group of moms that support one another outside of the classes and virtually. - Kelsi McClure, DC, Lone Tree CO
  • I’ve participated in Sweet Momma Yoga during both of my pregnancies and have benefited each time. Even on days when I feel tired and just wanted to put my feet up, I always felt better after class knowing that I am taking the best care of myself and my baby. Elise does an amazing job of making all of the moms feel welcome and comfortable no matter what previous yoga experience they’ve had. I got more out of Sweet Momma Yoga than I ever expected, benefiting both my pregnancy and birthing experiences. I would recommend to any expecting momma! - Deirdre L., Livonia MI
