Doula Care & Therapeutic Breathwork in New Orleans, LA

Plus perspective shifts & practical strategies for navigating birth & parenting with intention. An antidote to high-stress motherhood culture.

Therapeutic Breathwork for individuals and small groups

Breathwork has a way of untangling the behaviors, beliefs, patterns, relationships and restrictions that hold us back from living the life we want. It lovingly overrides many of the unconscious mental and physical defense mechanisms we have in place, offering psychosomatic relief and release. After many years trying many modalities, I turn to breathwork because of its profound simplicity and accessibility.

Resources & Guides in service of a simpler, more intentional life with young children

I work each day to cultivate a beautiful, loving, and secure childhood for my kids. And what I've learned over the last 8 years is that buying, working, and doing more isn't the way. Instead, it's been a journey of ruthlessly opting out, simplifying, and creating sustainable systems that require the least ongoing effort from me. All the magic happens when I'm able to do less and be with more. I try to inspire people to think creatively and boldly about ways to make their own lives flow with more ease.

Hi! I'm Virginia

I was born and raised in Southwest Virginia and went to college in NYC where I met my husband. After graduating, we moved around the world before settling in Philadelphia where my first two babies were born - one with an undiagnosed birth defect requiring life saving surgery and one born peacefully at home. We relocated to New Orleans in 2021 and welcomed our third baby on a warm December day - another healing homebirth. I'm trained as a therapeutic breathworker and a birth, postpartum, and end-of-life doula. I also support other small business owners with consulting and website design over at www.virginiastrong.co.
