Michelle El Khoury, PhD
Traditional support systems don't account for the unique pressures of balancing professional excellence with preparing for early parenthood - so I created what I wished I'd had.
Drawing from my 20+ years in healthcare and years of supporting individual and families through pregnancy and postpartum at my wellness business Yogamazia, I developed The S.M.A.R.T. Journey to Parenting™ methodology. This framework combines evidence-based knowledge with strategic planning approaches that respect both your personal priorities and parenting aspirations.
If you're a motivated individual seeking structured, efficient support through your perinatal journey, and looking for a community that honors your time and ambitions, you're in exactly the right place.
Through expert-led discussions, peer connections, and evidence-based resources, you'll gain the strategic approach and mindful practices needed to navigate this transition with confidence - all while maintaining your leadership impact.
My journey through three very different births while maintaining a demanding pharmaceutical career showed me that there had to be a better way.

Liana, First-Time Parent
"I highly recommend working with Michelle! I learned so much through her childbirth course and appreciated her passion for educating parents-to-be. It was highly organized and informative, which helped me feel fully prepared and confident going into labor. The prenatal yoga was also very beneficial; the classes were slow- paced enough for me and I felt refreshed every time."

Not at all! While the course is structured as 35 daily lessons (7 lessons per module), you have complete flexibility in how you move through the material. You can complete it in approximately 10 hours if done all at once, spread it over 5 weeks, or take longer to digest the content at your own pace. The course platform keeps all materials accessible so you can progress in a way that works best with your schedule and learning style.
Unlike traditional childbirth classes, this program uniquely combines evidence-based education with mindfulness practices to help you achieve balance while maintaining your professional momentum.
