Hello! I’m Francesca- wife to my Jr. High crush and mama to a sweet, handsome boy! I am a Certified Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Instructor in Orange County, Lactation Counselor, Newborn Care Specialist, Childbirth Educator, and Birth / Postpartum Doula.
I first discovered Yoga in 2010 to try and alleviate stress. After attending my first class I was hooked and knew it would turn into a lifestyle. Yoga became an essential part of my life and instantaneously gave me a level of calmness I never thought was possible. I discovered an ability to listen to my body with an open heart.
With a BS Degree in Early Childhood Education and Nannying for over 15 years I found my calling in wanting to serve families in a very specific way. Through my experiences as a nanny I saw the positive impact of what providing support in the postpartum period could have on a family. Since then I have devoted my life to helping parents take back their power in birth and beyond.
Maternal Root has been my baby ever since I started in 2014. Since then I have been supporting families during this transformation and magical journey. I believe every pregnant person has a right to choose how they want to birth their baby. I want every person to step into their birth feeling confident, excited and trusting their body, baby and the process. I use my training and experiences to help encourage moms to feel strong and powerful to use in their birth experiences.
With love,
Francesca Saputo
