If you've never tried Barré I suggest you come take a trial class to check it out. Unlike bigger facilities. when you join Barré the instructors will know your name from day one. Michelle, the owner has made this into a warm welcoming environment. The classes I've attended so far have all been females. The instruction is set to any level or size and you will benefit as long as you keep moving. I am making my way through the instructors and have enjoyed everyone I've had so far. They all provide a Barré/pilates type class but each person does it a little different. This is one small business we should support. You won't regret it.

If you are looking for a body transformation this is the place to go and it's great for every level of fitness.

Words won't be able to express how amazing Te'sa is. I cannot imagine being pregnant or going…read morethrough labor without her. Every expectant mother, no matter if it's your first or 10th, needs Te'sa. It will completely change your experience of pregnancy and labor. Throughout my pregnancy with my son she had THE BEST wisdom and knowledge to offer me whenever I had a question or concern- emotional struggles, diet, breastfeeding, physical concerns, newborn baby questions, insurance confusion, hospital policies and routines, and so much more. She was available anytime I needed (which was a bunch), and she never made me feel rushed. She was so prompt and thorough with her communication. I always felt so cared for and listened to- a big deal when your pregnant and you see tons of medical professionals who all have their own opinions. I had such fear and anxiety at becoming a new mom, but her gentle strength always made me feel safe and hopeful. Having her as my doula built my confidence as the months went by. We had a hospital birth, and she was exactly what I needed in those moments. She knew what we needed when we needed it (like knowing when I was needing water but couldn't communicate, or getting photos and videos of the birth when me and my husband completely spaced about it ). Now I have an absolutely beautiful healthy baby boy. I am loving being a mom, and now feel every choice I made (with Te'sa's help) was the right one. Thanks to T, the journey of pregnancy and motherhood became a fun and wonderful adventure.

I WANT TO TELL ALL PREGNANT WOMEN having a doula is so much better for your experience..they know more about what you are going though than your male partner .Tesa was abel to relieve my pains with her knowledge ..and there was a point during contractions i wanted neither a nurse or husband to hold my hand,instead i called for Tesa. I only regret i didn't know with my first child what i learned with my second..birth doulas are angels to pregnant women. She was also there with me after for postpartum visits. Im very thankful for Tesa and her helping me deliver my beautiful ten pound baby girl.

Before JJ Pilates, I had absolutely no exposure to Pilates and honestly felt intimidated by some of…read morethe other Pilates studios in Redding. Walking into my first class was a little nerve-wracking, but Maddy immediately changed that. From my very first few classes, Maddy made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and capable. She took the time to help me get past the beginner stage, always offering encouragement and guidance without ever making me feel out of place. She has the best energy, so positive, genuine, and uplifting and it's clear she truly cares about every person who walks through her doors. The studio itself is always clean, cute, and so inviting. It's become one of my favorite places to be, and I genuinely look forward to every class. I've loved my experience so much that I've brought several friends along, and they now love Pilates just as much as I do. If you've ever been intimidated to try Pilates, JJ Pilates is the perfect place to start. Maddy has created such a welcoming community, and I couldn't recommend her studio more.

When I found out I was pregnant, I initially started off looking for an OB within my insurance…read morenetwork but after calling a reputable doctor's office and told that I needed to submit an application and see if I'm accepted first, I began to really reconsider what it is that I wanted. Like many other women, I had had past experiences with OBGYNs that leave you, frankly, feeling like cattle. Just in and out and sometimes not even a "bye" before leaving the room. That same day, I looked further and made an appointment to meet with Naomi, not really knowing much about midwifery. When I met with her, and we discussed unmedicated birth and home birth and what she and her staff offer, I just knew that this was right for me. I had not really ever wondered about a birthing experience for me but this felt so right. I still remember anxiously thinking, "oh, please have room to take me" as she calculated my due date and reviewed the births she already had scheduled for the month of May. To my joy, Naomi had room for me and so our journey began together until several weeks after my son was born safely at home. During our appointments, Naomi took all the time we needed to ask questions, hear our baby, and connect. I never felt rushed, judged, and truly felt cared for by Naomi and her staff. I feel so blessed to be able to look back at my birthing experience and feel so much love for this beautiful tribe of women (Naomi, her staff, Mariah and Krista, and my doula) all working together, calmly and soothingly coaching me, to assist me in brining my baby into this world free or chaos and to validate all my overwhelming postpartum tears and meet them with such love and compassion. I don't know that I will have another child but if I do, I know that I will look forward to seeing everyone at Redding Midwifery as much as I would look forward to seeing my belly grow.
