Twelve years ago, an astrologer charted Latham Thomas's course with a single pronouncement: "You're supposed to mother the mother." Then a prenatal yoga instructor, she began training as a doula, and has since assisted in hundreds of births (her clients include Alicia Keys, Rebecca Minkoff, and Nicole Tuck, DJ Khaled's wife).

In 2011 Thomas, a grad of Columbia University and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, the author of two books, and a super-cool mom (her 15-year-old son is an in-demand DJ himself), launched Mama Glow, a wellness company that supports women during pregnancy and motherhood. She always dresses up for deliveries—usually in something chic and comfortable, like a jumpsuit. "It's a birthday, after all," she says, describing her look as glam-meets-granola. "I'm both hand-holding and hands-on during the most vulnerable, most powerful time in a woman's life."

When she isn't nurturing moms-to-be on their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys, Thomas is imparting her advice on how to live luminously, the subject of her last book titled,

Own Your Glow: A Soulful Guide to Luminous Living and Crowning the Queen Within

. "I would love for women to really practice self-care—not just take a bubble bath for Instagram, but figure out what they need and do it, and not be afraid to say no," she says. One daily self-care routine she encourages: A guided "beditation," which is a 10-minute, soothing solution to help you get to sleep that includes tucking yourself in and doing a number of micro-movements, intended to not only enhance your sleep, but to also reenergize you for the day ahead.

Thomas's style mantra keeps with her broader self-empowerment philosophy: "Dress for the dreams you have." Here, she shares her favorite ways to do it, along with her other uplifting essentials.
