Industry Experience

Travel & Hospitality, Education, Retail, Consumer Goods, Professional Services, Media & Entertainment
    The Perinatal Yoga Project

    In 2020, I built a wellness brand from the ground up. Today, it generates a consistent monthly income and continues to grow year after year.

    The platform is an online yoga and mindfulness space designed specifically for mothers during pregnancy and the postpartum period. I created it to make expert guidance and support more accessible, as not everyone has a yoga studio nearby, and many studios do not offer specialized prenatal and postnatal classes.

    By bringing these services online, I help women access high-quality yoga, mindfulness, and recovery programs from the comfort of their homes, often at a more affordable price than traditional studio memberships. It is incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact the platform has on mothers’ well-being, and I am excited to continue expanding and developing the brand in the years ahead.
