Student Midwife & Yoga Therapist

Jess Gruber

Jess is a yoga therapist and student midwife specializing in pelvic biomechanics and reproductive wellbeing as rites of passage. She works with people to prepare for the physical and spiritual journey of birth and parenthood as well as supports postpartum parents in healing from birth, such as rehabilitating diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunctions. She has been working with pregnant and postpartum people since 2012. When I'm not yoga-ing, I'm playing with my children, enjoying time in nature, traveling with my adventurous partner, or snuggled up with a good book.

Jess' training was thorough and informative. Even within a short amount of time, I feel much more comfortable teaching a prenatal or postpartum yoga class or sequence!

Jess has a beautiful way of teaching the science and anatomy of pre and postnatal bodies while weaving in the subtle side of yogic practices. She created space for curiosity and provided a wealth of resources that we used both during training and will be able to explore on our own. I really appreciated that our learning was contextualized by conversations about reproductive justice and inclusivity for LGBTQ+ populations in the pre and postnatal yoga space.

Jess has such good energy! In person or virtual - she’s amazing. I learned a ton in this training, and I look forward to taking some of her prenatal and postpartum classes when I have a baby :)

The Yoga for Perinatal Mental Health workshop was very well put together and thought out. It offered a comfortable atmosphere, practical tools that I can implement in my daily life as a mom, and a chance to set aside time to honor myself and other moms going through similar challenges. It left me with a feeling of lightness and gratitude for the rest of my day.

Jess is so knowledgeable about all topics menstruation! If you want to get in tune with your body, learn new techniques to understand your body, and interact in a welcoming community, I could not recommend Jess's courses more!

What a wonderful course. Jess created such a safe and welcoming space, I was sad to say good bye on our last zoom class. I have such a stronger foundation of how to connect with myself and my cycle now and more of a drive to find out more!
