“I believe that yoga, massage, and doula work go hand in hand, all encouraging presence and cathartic release.”
– Miki Cotner

Meet Miki.

Miki has been fascinated with yoga, massage, and birth since she was a little girl. She feels blessed to be able to turn her passion into service for others. Since 2009, Miki has taught classes and assisted trainings at various yoga studios in San Francisco, Nosara, Hawaii and now serving in South Orange County. Through the years she has absorbed an abundance of knowledge and experience through numerous certifications, some highlights listed below. She was part of an elite team of massage therapists at SenSpa in San Francisco, and as a doula has assisted births in Hawaii, San Francisco, and Orange County. She is now a proud mother who continues to work with clientele to promote healing and empowerment through her yoga and massage offerings. She is thrilled to set roots and connect with her new community in South Orange County.
