Meet the experts behind Soulstone. Each partner brings real depth in prenatal health, early childhood development, or holistic movement, working alongside us to support you and your family.
Becoming a mother is beautiful, but it can also feel overwhelming. There's endless advice, and it's not always easy to know what to trust.
We believe every woman deserves simple, trusted support for pregnancy, postpartum and beyond — to feel at home in her own body, at every stage of motherhood.
With a background in Women's Health Physiotherapy, we're here to empower you with practical knowledge, effective exercises, and tools that actually work. Everything is designed to fit naturally into your everyday life, and available online so you can access support anytime, anywhere.
Because wellness in motherhood should fit your life, not add another task to your list.
Sandra Astruga is a Physiotherapist specialized in Pelvic Floor and Women's Health. Working in this field since 2017, she brings both deep clinical knowledge and a holistic approach, connecting your pelvic floor to your whole body through manual therapy, functional movement, and overall wellbeing.
She has trained and worked internationally across Spain, Italy, Germany, and Argentina, including at renowned centers such as the ISAR Klinikum Beckenbodenzentrum in Munich and Deutsches Beckenboden Zentrum Berlin.
Her expertise spans pregnancy and postpartum care, pelvic floor rehabilitation, pain management, and exercise therapy, helping women feel strong, healthy, and supported at every stage of life.
María Múgica became a mother at the end of 2024. What surprised her most wasn't the sleepless nights, but how little support there was for her own wellbeing.
During pregnancy, information was scattered, outdated, and focused on the baby. After birth, support was even harder to find. Navigating recovery from a complicated pregnancy while caring for a newborn felt overwhelming, and advocating for herself felt like a full-time job at a time when she most needed guidance.
Everything changed when she met Sandra. Finally, María felt supported, informed, and able to focus on both her family and herself.
Determined to give other women the support she wished she'd had, she now combines her background in Tech and Strategy with her journey as a mom, making Sandra's expertise accessible to all women so they can feel strong, informed, and empowered in motherhood.
We met while teaching at an international school in Berlin and quickly connected over our shared approach to teaching, love for the arts, children’s literature, and play-based learning. Whether through music, textiles, or sensory art projects, we found joy in creating with children and using artistic expression as a tool for learning. In and out of the classroom, our collaboration felt natural. We also discovered a shared commitment to gentleness, nurturance, inclusion, fun, and adaptability—creating spaces where children feel safe, seen, and encouraged to grow.
As we continued teaching together in the international school system, we noticed a gap in what was available for young children and their families in the community. Many international families were looking for more—more connection, more support, and more opportunities for their children to learn and grow outside of Kita or school.
That’s where Friendship in the Feld began. Living in Schillerkiez, we love Berlin and everything it has to offer. Tempelhofer Feld, with its open spaces and sense of freedom, has been a huge inspiration for us—both as a gathering place and as a reminder of how nature fosters curiosity and exploration. We incorporate natural materials and outdoor learning into our approach, encouraging children to connect with the world around them through play.
What started as a professional partnership turned into a friendship, and now into a shared vision. Friendship in the Feld is our way of bringing families together, bridging the gap between home and early education, and celebrating the joy of learning. Come join us in the feld!
My name is Toni, and I am an Advanced Certified Jivamukti Yoga teacher, a Khalsa Way Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga teacher, and I have been teaching yoga in Berlin for over 10 years.
I am also a mother of three children myself and support women throughout pregnancy and during the first years of motherhood through my yoga classes.
My wish for you is that through my classes you develop a deeper connection to your body and your own intuition, allowing you to move through pregnancy and toward birth with greater ease and confidence, as well as into the time afterward, as a mother.
Prenatal Yoga strengthens, tones, stretches, and relaxes the body, mind, and emotions. It helps us create more space in the body for the baby and for our own organs. At the same time, the group classes provide a safe space where we can build a supportive community — a place where we can connect, exchange experiences, recharge, and heal together.
Postnatal Yoga supports mothers in becoming more aware of their own thoughts, feelings, and needs. It helps the body realign after birth, strengthens the core, supports the body during breastfeeding and postpartum recovery, and builds the inner strength needed to guide and care for a growing human being.Yoga with a baby is a very different kind of challenge. While you begin strengthening your own body again, your attention is naturally and constantly drawn back to your child. You can begin practicing Postnatal Yoga no earlier than 8 weeks after giving birth. It is best to discuss with your midwife or gynecologist when the right time is for you to start. Every body, every birth, and every postpartum experience is different.
Marie-Lisa Hocker is a birth doula and former yoga teacher who guides this prenatal class as a space for connecting and dropping into your body and intuition. She honors the immense shift that comes with becoming a mother, carrying a child and getting to know yourself in a completely new way.
Marie focuses on supporting, empowering and strengthening each woman, making her feel seen, heard and validated in her unique experience while encouraging inner trust and connection. She pairs gentle somatics with intense and challenging practices, offers space for sharing and connection, and always closes with deep rest and release.
You are warmly invited to come at whatever stage of pregnancy you are in.
Alessandra is a certified 500-hour yoga teacher based in Berlin. She completed her 200-hour teacher training at Lotos Yoga Berlin in 2021 and began teaching shortly after.
In 2024, she completed an advanced 300-hour YTT, deepening her understanding of alignment, yoga techniques, and how different practices support the body in different ways. She is also trained in sound healing through Yogicescape.
Her journey with yoga began almost ten years ago, initially as a way to find balance and grounding in a busy life, and gradually evolved into a long-term practice that continues to shape both her teaching and her personal path. Over the years, she has developed a strong focus on Hatha, Vinyasa, and Healthy Back practices, blending strength, mobility, and mindful awareness.
Her classes are grounded, dynamic, and adaptable to different levels, with an emphasis on breath, alignment, and the balance between effort and ease. She aims to create a supportive and inclusive space where students can slow down, reconnect with themselves, move with curiosity, and build confidence in their bodies, whether they are new to yoga or experienced practitioners.
Nurturing Conversations is a series of psychologist-led gatherings for parents who want to explore the often-unspoken emotional side of parenthood. Led by Clinical Psychologist and mother of two Ceren Palik, each gathering focuses on a different theme, combining psychological insight with guided reflection in a small group.
There's no pressure to speak. Many people find real value just in hearing that someone else has felt the same way. This isn't a parenting class or group therapy. It's a space to pause, reflect, and explore motherhood through psychology, reflection, and shared experience.
Clare is a Senior Emergency and Intensive Care Nurse with over a decade of frontline experience, and a mother of two herself. Her path into paediatric care started early. She began her nursing career in emergency departments that treated both adults and children, and quickly found her focus shifting toward the younger patients she was caring for. That interest led her to complete a second nursing degree specifically in children's nursing, on top of her original adult nursing qualification.
Since then, her career has taken her through some of the most demanding corners of the healthcare system: paediatric intensive care, neonatal intensive care, paediatric general medicine, vaccination support services, and family care. In 2010, she qualified as an instructor in Advanced Life Support, and has spent the years since teaching these skills to both private groups and organisations.
What sets Clare apart is how she teaches. She is known for going the extra mile for the families she works with, breaking down what can feel like an intimidating subject into something clear, manageable and genuinely useful. Her course is built for real life: it covers basic life support, choking, fevers, seizures, head injuries, allergic reactions and recovery, and always leaves space for parents to ask the questions that are actually on their minds.
The course is designed for anyone looking after a little one, whether that's an expectant parent preparing for what's ahead or someone already deep in the early years of parenting. Little ones are welcome to attend too.
Clare's approach comes from a simple belief: that every parent and caregiver deserves the confidence and skills to act calmly and correctly in an emergency, and that this kind of knowledge should be accessible, practical, and free of unnecessary fear.
Music can move, touch and connect.
I’m Katja Schendel, Music Therapist, Yoga & Sound Meditation Teacher based in Berlin.
Currently, I’m developing and implementing individualized music therapy concepts in clinical environments in Berlin. Music can enrich the therapeutic relationship in many ways, supporting mental health and well-being, speech, communication and social skills, body movement, coordination and physical abilities, memory, attention, cognitive functions, and pain management.
Beyond my clinical work, I guide sound meditations and yoga sessions in well-being institutions and corporate settings across Berlin. These experiences create space for deep relaxation, regeneration, and heightened awareness.
Chrissy is originally from New Jersey and moved to Berlin in 2017. Yoga had already been part of her life as a way to destress from a hectic corporate career, but the move to Berlin is where the practice took on a deeper meaning for her. That shift led her to train in Jivamukti Yoga starting in 2019, completing over 800 hours of certification between Berlin and India.
Her path into birth work began with the birth of her first child. The experience of preparing for and going through pregnancy and birth pulled her toward this work so strongly that it became her focus. She went on to train in pre and postnatal yoga, and in hypnobirthing, and began teaching both during her own pregnancy and postpartum period.
Chrissy guides mothers through yoga practices that are energetic as much as mindful, built around moving safely and staying in tune with both body and baby. Her classes are not the traditional, slow-paced prenatal or postnatal sessions many people expect. They combine strength and flow with space for reflection, and often close with a deep relaxation or hypnobirthing element. Alongside yoga, she coaches mothers through holistic birth preparation, helping them build the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions before, during and after birth, while also giving them tools to release fear and approach the experience with calm.
Above all, Chrissy sees her classes as more than movement. They are a place for mothers to connect more deeply with themselves, with their babies, and with each other.
Little Humans Yoga is a nurturing and playful class for young children and their caregivers to connect, explore and grow together through movement, music, mindfulness and creative play.
Each session weaves together children's yoga, songs, storytelling, breathing exercises and relaxation, creating a warm and welcoming space where children can build confidence, body awareness, emotional wellbeing and creativity. It's a gentle introduction to the tools yoga offers, shaped entirely around how young children actually learn: through play, repetition, imagination and connection with the people around them.
The class is suitable for children from 12 months onwards (1-5 years), alongside their caregivers, and families with younger siblings are always warmly welcomed. No previous experience is needed. All you need to bring is a willingness to move, connect and have fun together.
