Meet amelia toporsh
Founder of Wavy Baby Co.
Amelia Toporsh is a Milwaukee-based movement teacher, Breathwork facilitator, community builder & founder of Wavy Baby Co.
For more than a decade, Amelia has worked in the movement & wellness space, teaching Pilates & movement, facilitating Breathwork, creating community experiences & helping women make space to reconnect with themselves.
Wavy Baby grew out of Amelia's own evolving relationship with wellness, motherhood & identity — & the realization that taking care of ourselves doesn't always need to look like another thing we're supposed to get right.
The Work
Today, her work lives at the intersection of movement, nervous system regulation, community, play, advocacy & real life. Through Wavy Baby, Amelia creates & facilitates experiences ranging from movement & Breathwork sessions to community gatherings, Girls Skate Meetups, retreats, brand collaborations & corporate wellness experiences. Her writing & content also explore motherhood, women's wellbeing, identity & the cultural issues affecting women & families.
She's especially interested in what happens when women are given permission to take a minute — to move, breathe, play, connect & remember the person underneath all the roles they hold.
Amelia was born & raised in Milwaukee & lives in the Milwaukee area with her husband & four children, including twins. Motherhood - particularly her experience navigating postpartum life & the intensity of raising a large young family - continues to shape how she thinks about women's time, care, identity & access to wellness.
Wavy Baby is for women who need a minute.
& Amelia's work is rooted in creating more places for them to take one.
WAVY BABY:
FOR WOMEN WHO NEED A MINUTE.
Amelia's work is rooted in creating more places for them to take one.
why wavy baby
Wavy Baby is built around a simple belief: women are worth taking care of, too.
Not just when there's more time. Not after everyone else is taken care of. & not only through picture-perfect versions of “wellness.”
Through movement, Breathwork, community, play, advocacy & honest conversations about womanhood & motherhood, Wavy Baby creates opportunities for women to take a minute for themselves — & reconnect with who they are outside of everything they do for everyone else.
Sometimes that looks like a Pilates or Breathwork session. Sometimes it's getting on a skateboard, gathering in community, reading something that makes you feel less alone or having a conversation we're often told not to have.
Wavy Baby isn't about becoming a better version of yourself. It's about making room for the woman who's already there.
