My dear friend Selena does it all. She is a yoga instructor, pelvic floor therapist, a coach for pregnant women, a business owner, a mother, and a friend.
I met Selena through a mutual friend and instantly felt a connection. At the time, I only knew she had a business creating body scrubs, so I asked if she would like to host a class at my cousins bridal shower. It was then that I learned how many other wonderful things Selena does for her community.
I have always had some "girly" issues with pain during my menstrual cycle, or just the feeling of something not being right. My OBGYN told me to seek out a Pelvic Floor Therapist, and to my surprise, that was another one of the many hats Selena wears. Now being a mother of two busy children and working several jobs myself, I have a very difficult schedule. Selena was amazing and was able to work within my schedule so I could be seen as soon as possible for a Pelvic Floor Exam. During the appointment she explained everything and taught me so much about my body that I had no clue about. Selena made me feel very comfortable even in some uncomfortable positions! During that appointment, I learned of ANOTHER hat she wears. Yoga instructor.
Selena loves to host yoga sessions all throughout the city. You can often find her at Scotty's Bierwerks on Saturdays and noon instructing a yoga class names Bends and Brews. It is $15 for an hour session of Yoga and a glass of beer or wine! Selena also hosts virtual yoga sessions for those women who just find it hard to leave the house (like me). The Westin in Cape Coral often hosts Yoga on the lawn for their guests and community visitors. This Friday, August 31st and Monday, September 2nd at 8am, Selena will be at the Westin assisting with Yoga Flow. No need to register, and only cost $10!
Pregnancy is such a rough journey to be on and sometimes it seems to never end. You are experiencing feelings and emotions that you have never felt before. Pregnancy is the hardest journey for some women to endure. Selena can help. Pemberton Coaching is there to help women embrace every stage of pregnancy with confidence and grace. Pemberton Coaching provides holistic support in physical and mental health, wellness, mindset, and community. Selena started Pemberton coaching to assist mothers in all stages of the pregnancy.
Selena often partners with the Youth District Center in Cape Coral to host prenatal yoga class and support. If you are unable to make it to one of her in-person classes, Selena does offer virtual prenatal classes as well. Both of these classes can be easily afforded as well. The next in-person prenatal class is at the Youth District Center on August 30th at 6:30pm.
