About me

My mission is to help educate and support parents through their pregnancy and postpartum journey. You deserve to have the empowered experience you’ve always dreamt of and deserve! I am a mother to 4 kiddos and am experienced with having 3 very different c-section experiences as well as a healing vaginal birth after those 3 c-sections. You deserve to be heard and loved during this beautiful time of your life and I’m here for it all!
