Hi! I'm Dr. Michelle El Khoury—wife, mother of 3, and creator of The S.M.A.R.T. Journey to Parenting™. Through 20+ years of healthcare leadership and three pregnancies during my corporate career, I discovered that navigating major life transitions isn't about "having it all", it's about leading with presence.
I'm the founder of Yogamazia®, a maternal and parenting wellness education hub. As a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor, and yoga instructor, I provide holistic, compassionate support from pregnancy to parenting and beyond. Available in-person throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and virtually nationwide.

This diary shares the soulful shifts, strategic practices, and vulnerable reflections that help you navigate life's biggest transitions with confidence.
