Fertility Yoga Specialist

Pre & Post Natal & Fertility Fitness Specialist

Sue Dumais' Mind Body Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia was the genesis of services and products offered to help others heal the burdens of their past, move through fear and limiting beliefs in order to create a solution oriented mindset. 

The Mind Body Studio was the first in Canada to focus on fertility as well as pre & post natal health and fitness. Since 1991 when Sue began her fitness business, she expanded her offerings for unique programs including training certifications, yoga therapy, core stability for fertility and pregnancy, energetic healing and specialized personal training. The Mind Body studio transitioned from a fertility yoga studio in 2011 to a virtual studio as an adjunct to her new speaking and consulting firm for organizations and individuals throughout North America. 

The first in the world to pioneer training programs in the field, Sue’s company developed the first Fitness Fertility Certification and Yoga for Fertility Instructor Training Course.  Through her own fertility challenges, pregnancy and motherhood, Sue learned about self-care, love, acceptance, trust and community.

Sue is the author of A Strong Core for Life and the Yoga for Fertility Handbook as well as additional products and services for individuals and organizations. Sue has written articles for many national magazines and contributes regularly to Creating Families Magazine for the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada (IAAC).  Sue is a member of the IAAC Board of Directors and is the IAAC Support Group Chapter Leader for Vancouver.  

Her training as a Doula and experience with pre & post natal fitness inspired her to write the Pre & Post Natal Fitness Instructor Certification Course as well as several online courses to provide continuing education opportunities for fitness professionals all over the world.

Along with world renowned physiotherapist Diane Lee, Sue created the Postpartum Diastasis Recti Study to help discover ways to support women through postpartum and beyond.  

Coached and mentored by Les Brown, one of the outstanding five speakers in the world (highest award from Toastmasters International 1990), Sue has expanded her outreach to include a variety of audiences who want to unblock the barriers to a purpose-driven life.
