About this episode

Meet the Guest

From Paula Mallis: I’m a mother, doula, yoga teacher, meditation guide and facilitator of women circles living in Venice, California. When I was pregnant with my daughter Madeleine and traveling on my own journey into motherhood, something shifted within me. I experienced a spiritual awakening that allowed me the opportunity to choose a more conscious way to approach my life as a woman and mother. In my practice, I blend together my experience as a mother, my expertise as a doula and my extensive training in yoga, as a meditation guide and facilitator. Sharing what I know and supporting women as they make their own journey into motherhood is my deepest passion. paulamallis.com Paula Mallis on Instagram Bed music from Podington Bear.
