I know firsthand how challenging it is to balance a career and parenthood.

MY OWN JOURNEY WAS ONE OF TRIAL AND TRANSFORMATION

I went from feeling uncertain and overextended to leading my own life with intention. The overwhelm I felt came from not having a grounded system that supported my journey as a leader and a parent at the same time.

That’s why I developed The S.M.A.R.T. Journey to Parenting^® framework, inspired by the mindful practices and expert insights that transformed my own experience.

With this method, you'll gain the clarity to make informed decisions and the tools to meet each stage of change with resilience, peace, and presence.

HI, I’M DR. MICHELLE EL KHOURY

Life’s biggest transformations often arrive unexpectedly—pregnancy and parenthood are no exception.

I know this all too well, having navigated the rollercoaster of balancing a demanding pharmaceutical career and three children myself (and I still do!).

Each of my pregnancies was a unique adventure, and the journey of raising my kids taught me that leading with presence while continuing to lead with purpose is not only possible, it is a practice.

I discovered that the qualities I'd been taught to dismiss as "soft" were actually the most strategic tools I had. The ones that kept me grounded, clear-headed, and present as both a parent and a leader when everything around me was demanding a reaction.

My journey inspired me to establish Yogamazia®, a virtual hub for maternal and parenting education that has provided strategic preparation and evidence-based support to over 700 women, families, children, and organizations.

WHAT GUIDES MY WORK

My Approach

With my background as a pharmacist, clinical researcher and epidemiologist, I blend 20+ years of healthcare and pharmaceutical executive leadership with holistic wellness, combining evidence-based doula practice with yoga philosophy, mindfulness, and HypnoBirthing to create a grounded, integrated approach to perinatal support.

My Values

My work is guided by G.R.A.C.E.: Gratitude, Respect, Authenticity, Community, and Equity.

These principles are woven into every offering, ensuring that when leaders are supported through transitions, they bring that strength back to their families, teams, and communities.

My Mission

I'm committed to transforming not just families—but the systems that support them - guiding leaders, parents, and changemakers who value strategic approaches.

Because you deserve to feel just as prepared, balanced, and resilient navigating major life changes as you do in other areas of your life.
