Fede

My name is Federica (but call me Fede!). I am an Italian, NYC-based, E-RYT 500hr Vinyasa and Prenatal Yoga Teacher. I have been teaching Yoga for about 10 years. I am also a Certified Pilates Instructor, a Certified Full Spectrum Doula and a Lactation Counselor. I offer Birth/Postpartum Services and Prenatal Yoga Classes.

I am married to a French man with whom I have four beautiful sons. I was born and raised in Milan but my dad is from the beautiful southern island of Sicily and my mom is from a little town called Marina di Massa in Tuscany. I worked in fashion for many years until I discovered yoga and my life changed. After a few years of practice, I decided to become a teacher to help others live happier and healthier lives. When my first son was born, I became really passionate about pregnancy and birth, so I decided to focus more on teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga classes. Shortly after, I became a full-spectrum doula so that I could go above and beyond preparing people’s bodies for birth.

I provide emotional, physical and educational support to people during the full spectrum of pregnancy. My Italian name means ‘someone that protects’ and my doula philosophy truly embodies this role. I will protect you, your rights and your wishes during any reproductive events.
