Becoming a mother is one of the biggest changes we will ever experience in our lives. Oftentimes, our bodies, our finances, our partnerships/marriages, and the way we relate to the world is different. This immense change can often result in feelings of overwhelm.  I offer specialized mindful and solution-focused services for pregnancy, motherhood, and parenting to help facilitate the process with professional guidance and care. My passion for working with parents grew from my own experiences as a mother and my professional experiences working with parents in this raw stage.

Becoming a parent can be a beautiful, exciting, and rewarding time. However, for many, it can become a scary, overwhelming, and dark time.

Parenting, while often a deep and meaningful connective experience can also be hard, relentless. It gives us countless opportunities to learn about ourselves.
