Meet the
Founder
Amethyst Hertsens
I am a new mom to a 7 month old saucy little Salsera! Having spent the last 22 years supporting families in a variety of different ways (Nanny, Birth and Postpartum Doula, Lactation Counselor, Newborn Care specialist, Infant Massage Instructor, Childbirth educator, Family Assistant) and having a background in dance, the idea of Salsa Mama Studios came to me when I was in my first trimester. While yoga has always been a passion of mine, I found I was really craving more movement, a sense of community, and FUN to help me navigate all the 1st trimester discomforts I was experiencing. Lo and behold, the first day creating the Salsa Mama curriculum, I found myself frequenting the bathroom (finally some constipation relief!) I knew I was on to something. I was SO excited that I created the curriculum for the first 8 class series in 2 days. One baby girl later, I had created 3 curriculums! Salsa Mama (pregnancy), Salsa Baby (postpartum with baby in carrier) and Salsa Family (partner wears baby and birthing person dances freely). I am so excited to be bringing Salsa Mama Studios to the pregnancy and parenting community with the hope that I can provide what I had been searching for my entire pregnancy.
