I’m Franciska Farkas. I’m a Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, Certified Yoga Teacher, Certified Full Spectrum Doula, and Integrative Pelvic Floor Specialist. Originally trained in yoga through the Sivananda lineage*, have been teaching yoga and meditation for over 20 years from a traditional Vedic framework.

As a Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner I work individually with clients and provide education on the connection between food, health, mind, emotions, and spirit through the practical wisdom of Ayurvedic Medicine, the traditional holistic medicine system of India.

I teach pre and postnatal yoga with an emphasis on labor preparation, breath connection, postpartum movement, and pelvic floor awareness. My birth and postpartum doula support comprises evidence-based research, traditional birth practices, nourishing food preparation, and reverence for the intelligence of the parent-baby connection.

I am passionate about working with people of all genders to understand the role of pelvic floor health in overall wellness. My unique approach uses Ayurvedic Medicine, breathing practices, and movement to support understanding and healing of healing pelvic floor issues.

I was a professional video producer for over 20 years before making the full pivot to birth work and holistic medicine. My video production company Franciska Farkas Creative Projects centered around producing content for high-profile organizations promoting women’s health and gender rights. I eventually realized that I needed to do more direct work with the subject matter I was working with and here we are!

Let’s start working together💫
