About Us
Hello and welcome to Harmony Souls!
It’s such a treat to be able to share Harmony Souls with you. As a mother and yogini, I am committed to only offering items and classes that all have a common thread of promoting health, harmony, peace and love – with style of course.
It all started when my first baby, son Luke, was born I had a friend who carried her baby in a mei tei type carrier and I thought it looked very comfortable and versatile. With newborn Luke needing lots of holding and cuddling, I was having a challenging time figuring out how to manage life without the use of both hands!
I decided to pull out my sewing machine and make myself a baby carrier that would fit my needs. The carrier I created was great! It was stylish, kept baby close and happy and most importantly was comfortable for me – the waist strap and shoulder straps evenly distributed his weight and the padding kept my shoulders and back from getting red and sore. My baby carrier became my survival tool from the first time Luke and I used it. It’s also been referred to in our house as a ‘sanity saver’ on days when only being held will do!
From these early days of creating my first baby carrier while I was on maternity leave from my scholarly pursuits, my life journey has taken a turn, from my previous career as a research scientist studying diabetes, to a stay at home mom. With the arrival of motherhood I realized that at this point in my life it was important for me to bring harmony to my family and home life. That meant being at home…and so during nap times Harmony Souls was born!
The creation of stylish yet functional baby carriers opened up a stream of creativity for me. I find joy in setting up my sewing machine at our kitchen table and creating new things… meditation cushions that help one become more centered and calm, eye pillows that help to rejuvenate, baby carriers to hold little ones close, and play scarves to bring the imagination to life!
With my arrival into motherhood I found that the importance of community and fellowship with other new moms became something that I truly cherished. With Harmony Souls my aim is to promote health, harmony, peace and love, and I thought what better way to do this than by sharing my love of yoga with pregnant women on the cusp of motherhood and new moms! And so the Harmony Souls yoga classes were conceived.
By connecting with new mothers at all stages of their mothering journeys it is my sincere desire to help bring peace, love and happiness into their lives – be it from a great yoga stretch that gets to the source of muscles that are tight from holding a baby, or from a friendly smile and the possibility of connecting with another mom who is at the same place in life.
I hope that Harmony Souls products and classes are that special little something that helps to bring peace and love to your life and allows you to experience some joy at the same time!
With smiles,
Chantal Banda
