Herself Moms

We came here for the 4 hour birthing class. Julie is amazing. Her personality and knowledge as well as not being afraid to use «adult» language, loved that!
There is just one thing that is more of a suggestion. Not sure if it’s been brought to her attention before. When the class goes on break and then she calls in the fathers/​coaches, we are taken through 14 exercises to teach the moms. This took a good 35 minutes and all this time there were I believe 12 pregnant ladies standing outside with no chairs. If it’s a really hot day the moms must be miserable. Please think about having a seating area for the moms. That’s the only reason I didn’t give a full 5 stars. Everything else about the class was very informative and fun.
Thanks Julie!

Wow! I just got off the phone with Julie, and let me say, ‘I think I’ve found home’. I’m 12 weeks pregnant, and looking to do some prenatal yoga, and generally be a part of a mommy-​to-​be atmosphere. The catch– I have severe back problems. I called to asked if it would be appropriate to attend a prenatal yoga class if I may not be able to fully participate.
Not only was I encouraged to come give it a try, Julie spent 15 minutes on the phone with me. She asked questions and showed genuine interest in my particular situation. She gave me examples of ways to supplement my exercise while in class, ideas of how to gauge what works for me from one day to the next, and ultimately gave me solid encouragement.
That’s it! I’m sold!
I am completely looking forward to my first class this Thursday. If my opinion should change, I will update. I just have this instinct, that these 5 stars are staying permanently!

I am a new mom of a 5 day old little guy. As so many moms experience, I was really struggling with breastfeeding and was at the end of my exhausted, hormonal rope. I called Herself Moms to schedule a lactation consultation and got so much more! Julie took the time to listen to my situation and gave me what I really needed, which was both encouragement and just knowing that I wasn’t alone.
I am truly grateful for her patience and knowledge and we are doing so much better with just the tips she gave over the phone.
Thank you, Julie!!!

Julie is awesome! I took prenatal yoga classes here and also had a couple of lactation consultations and I give this place 5 stars hands down. The atmosphere is very relaxed and fun, and Julie is a wonderful instructor. She genuinely cares about her students and goes above and beyond to help you out. All the other students in class are really friendly and welcoming too.
I plan on coming back for postpartum yoga once I have some more free time!

Herself Moms is an epic resource to all new and soon to be moms in this region. Julie has effectively anticipated all of the needs a new mom has, including stuff your girlfriends may not have warned you about! From supportive prenatal yoga and birthing classes to quality nursing bras and tanks, pumping classes and supplies to help working moms, a superb lactation consultant, and more, Julie has created a true community resource for families that we are so lucky to have here — and somehow manages to do it all in two locations! I’d recommend her services to all pregnant ladies. Get in here! You’ll be happy you came whether you’re a little bit pregnant, waddling and puffy and ready to burst, just home from the hospital and nursing round the clock, heading back to work, or loving your new family life but just wanting a little «me» time. Thank you Julie! (You’ve been Unilocaled!)

Yoga. with babies? Oh yeah, THIS is going to be relaxing.
That’s what I was thinking before I gave this class a try. My was I wrong. I needed this in my life, and I would bet that every new mom does. I have been stressed out about the bliss of motherhood and desperately needing some relaxation and zen in my life. In fact, I was even stressed out about attending this class, but I came away a believer. I found some bliss.
So Herself Moms has this great program for women at all stages of motherhood (pregnant yoga, body sculpting, sweet pea yoga, and has lactation consultants). Bring the baby! In our sweet pea class, we did a few minutes of baby yoga (put the baby on a blanket on your mat and do some little baby stretches while your sweetpea smiles at you), some mom yoga with the baby as a weight, and then some just mom yoga that thoroughly kicked my I-haven’t-worked-out-in-a-year-butt!
What happened to the babies while the mom’s sun saluted and warrior posed, you might be wondering. Herself Moms has you covered. They have jumpers and rockers and soft little bassinet things for your babies, or you can let them crawl around and vibe with the other kiddos (mine made some friends tugging around a beach ball). It’s actually really relaxing, and my little one loved it. Relaxing for me, stimulating for him (slept on the ride home-​win!).
The best part about it, the welcoming atmosphere. It is for all levels of fitness and all ages of babies (we had week old through 11 months in our class), and you can whip out a boob or wipe your kid’s butt without any dirty looks. No one stresses if someone starts crying or whining because we’re all moms– we all know what it’s like. Sigh. Finally.
Herself Moms should start a commune for new moms– the world would be a better place. But I digress.
My ONLY tiny problem with this class is that you can’t pay by credit card on their website. You have to use paypal. I’m an analog girl living in a digital world, at least when it comes to paypal, so I found that annoying (sign up, wait a few weeks for it all to process, blah blah), but not annoying enough that it would keep me from coming to this class.
I wish I could go every day!

This place is AMAZING! When I became pregnant, a friend of mine referred me to Herself Moms and I am so grateful that she did. Julie is so knowledgable, supportive, funny and helpful. I have learned an immense amount about supportive poses and what to expect during labor. I’ve also signed up for different classes to prepare my husband and I for labor and having a newborn. Finding Julie has been invaluable and I plan to refer all of my pregnant friends to her!

What can I say??? Wonderful! Everyone welcomes you whole heartedly and you really feel comfortable.

I can’t say enough great things about Herself Moms. The owner (Julie) is amazing and really understands her customers needs. I went there for prenatal yoga with my second pregnancy and post partum sculpt after both my first and second pregnancy. Prenatal yoga is amazing! It helped me relax and destress as well as taught me great tools to have while in labor. I had such an easy second labor and I think it was because of the yoga and the breathing techniques Julie teaches. Not only did I get my exercise in I met other pregnant moms who I still keep in touch with. After pregnancy Julie was there to help me get back in shape. I love that I was able to bring my baby to class with me so I could still get a workout in. There are so many great things I can say out Herself Moms and Julie!

Herself Moms is more than yoga; they have breastfeeding supplies and breast pump rentals, a Certified Lactation Consultant on staff, and a Breastfeeding Support Group.
The pump rental was easy and convenient and the owner is upbeat and caring.

Herself Moms is a GREAT yoga/​exercise studio and store for pre/​postnatal moms in Roseville on Sierra College Blvd right by Douglas. (There’s also a Sacramento location.) You would love it… I know I do! The yoga is great for pregnancy aches and pains, plus there is lots of stretching and practicing of birth positions. Classes are filled with pregnant ladies in all stages… some just found out, others are due this month. :) Yoga classes are very affordable and you can pay by buying a class pass (cheaper) or pay each time you go. It’s great that you only pay when you actually attend class. Another bonus? Meeting other mommies to be!
The teacher Julie Hurst is AWESOME! She is friendly, knowledgable and very educated. Her personality is a perfect fit for these types of classes and she really cares about the moms & moms to be.
I LOVED her prenatal yoga classes and went twice a week in my 2^nd & 3^rd trimester right up until I gave birth. It really helped me to keep away the usual pregnancy aches and pains. Julie’s support and the company of the other pregnant moms was invaluable to me. Pregnancy and childbirth are hard and can be scary… It meant so much to me to go through it with other women going through the same thing. I still keep in touch with a few moms I met there who gave birth around the same time as me.
My little girl is now 7 weeks old and I just started taking the postpartum mommy & baby body sculpting class at Herself Moms. Babies were 6 weeks to about 9 months. The class is fun and a great workout, but it’s also just nice to leave the house and be around other mommies. My baby slept the entire class, but some babies were awake and some fussed. At times it was a little nuts in there! It’s good to know if my baby fussed it wouldn’t be a big deal… I was worried about that. The workout was total body, but focused heavily on butt, hips, thighs, and core which was just what I needed after giving birth.
I also attended the «Must have tools for labor & delivery» class in my 3^rd trimester through Herself Moms. It was for mommies + a coach and VERY worth the minimal fee. The class was hands on practicing breathing techniques, massage, birthing positions, relaxation and more. My husband and I felt much more prepared for labor when leaving… she took away many fears of the unknown and answered a lot of questions. It was also nice to have a class outside of Kaiser/​Sutter because you get a different point of view from a mom (and childbirth educator) who’s been through it all.
Herself Moms is also where I got some cute maternity tank tops! :)

I went Herself Yoga during both of my pregnancies to stay in shape and prepare for a beautiful natural birth! Julie (the owner) is amazing. She has a wonderful attitude and is a fantastic yoga teacher, not mention she will answer any and all questions you might have about child birth!
Since she has opened herself yoga, she has also brought on a lactation consultant and a kick butt masseuss, as well as all sort of pre and post partum realted items for sale. It has truly become a one stop maternity shop!
