When I am not working with clients…
You can find me spending time with my husband and two little ones. We love exploring the outdoors, finding a good playground, visiting a new little town or visiting local kid-friendly business.
When I am not with my family, you can find me on the soccer field, working on a puzzle, or unwinding with a good cup of tea and an audio book.
As someone who has navigated the postpartum period twice, and has lived through postpartum anxiety and a baby who wouldn’t sleep, I understand the challenges you are facing.
I am passionate about helping other moms find balance, connection and a more complete sense of self.
You do not have to navigate this postpartum season alone!
