What Families Say About
Mama Roots Collective
Christie A.
Mama Roots has been an incredible resource and community for my baby and me! It is a warming village every new mother deserves, and I am grateful to finally have a resource like Mama Roots in the Richmond!
Lauren g.
I attended prenatal yoga with Sofia and I highly recommend! The space is quite and peaceful, and Sofia is a warm, attentive instructor.
Tina n.
I wish this space was open earlier when I was pregnant. It was something I was looking for when preggers and didn't want to go to a regular studio when I was more obviously pregnant and wanted something more catered to that time in my life.
