As a beginner (at the time) in my yoga practice, Hillary was the perfect person to help me jumpstart that journey. She has a wonderfully joyous spirit, she’s patient, kind, nurturing and extremely knowledgeable in her craft. Hillary is also a truly genuine person with a great sense of humor. Last but not least, she moves in her practice in a way that is flawless…giving great examples of the possibilities of movement and how to make your body work for you!

Hillary's deep knowledge of the human body and beautiful sequencing, paired with her generous and brilliant energy make for an incredible yoga experience - every time. She shows up fully, holding space for your breath and heart to move where you didn't even know they needed to go. She is a source of incredible light and her class is always a great way to get in touch with your light too. She challenges her students in both body and mind. Take her class. Get in touch. You will not regret it.

It is with deep gratitude and the utmost respect that I recommend Hillary’s birthing support and doula services. She is knowledgeable of the process from early pregnancy to postpartum and actively supported me and my partner by sharing timely resources, book recommendations, providing virtual movement sessions, regular check in calls, labor and delivery support and so much more! She helped to ease my anxiety, consistently leading with empathy, compassion and science. Hillary was also a dependable, active participant in the hospital - from making the vibe less clinical, to providing advocacy and support whenever things did not go as predicted. I could not imagine my birth experience without Hillary and I feel so fortunate to have had the privilege to give birth with her by my side, adding more meaning and love at every step in the process.

I reached out to Hillary in April 2020—I had unfortunately lost my first child at three months pregnant—Hillary was a shoulder to cry on and also be encouraged by. In May I found out I was pregnant again. I reached out to Hillary to thank her for being a shoulder to cry on and express how much her words meant to me. Hillary kindly offered her doula services and I accepted. She was there every step of the way. She answered questions that I was afraid or embarrassed to ask my provider. Hillary always checked up on me to assure I was staying healthy and positive. Honestly it was the best help I received during pregnancy, I was rarely stressed out and if I was I just reached out to her! She got me interested in meditation and even yoga. She prepared me for labor and for the early days of breastfeeding. I thank Hillary for all the help she provided. Eddy (my husband) and I appreciate you.
“When I was first given Hillary’s phone number I thought to myself, “ I’ve been a mother for two decades, what is she going to do to help?” I thought I would be judged for feeling depressed and overwhelmed at the thought of becoming a mother all over again. I had a husband who loved me and our family. My son was the most anticipated baby in our family history yet I didn’t feel like myself. I was screaming inside wanting to so many times just hide in a dark room and cry not being able to express that to anyone. After several weeks I finally called Hillary, no wait I actually texted her I could get the courage to say the things I was feeling out loud. Not to mention we were in the middle of a pandemic and out of caution I limited the amount of people I was around. She asked me if I could talk on the phone and I reluctantly said yes. She created me with such empathy and kindness that she temporarily became my new diary. Even my husband noticed a difference in me and I found a level of love and patiences with my beautiful baby boy that I’m not sure that I would have reached had I not opened up to her and taken the time to work through my feelings. I can never repay her for bringing me back to my family but I will say this “Everyone needs a Hilary Lopes in their life.” Blessing to her, her family and everyone that is fortunate enough to meet this beautiful soul.
