Early adverse experiences, whether marked by inconsistency, emotional dismissal, or more overt mistreatment, can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves and relate to the world. Even seemingly minor moments—like chronic criticism or unclear boundaries—can create deep feelings of being unseen, unsafe, or unworthy, shaping our emotional responses and relationships in subtle ways.

For others, more severe mistreatment, such as physical punishment, sexual exploitation, public shaming, or exposure to instability with no protection, may have left deeper scars. These experiences—often dismissed as “discipline” or “just how things were”—can profoundly affect self-identity and relational patterns.

Early trauma exists on a spectrum. While the intensity of these adverse experiences varies, they all impact us in ways that may not be immediately recognizable.

Trauma is stored in the body as implicit memory—felt sensations and emotional reactions, rather than conscious recollections. These memories can surface in confusing ways, affecting thoughts, feelings, and behavior without clear understanding.

Healing is possible. By uncovering these hidden patterns and forgotten parts of self, healing becomes possible. Through compassionate guidance, we can release what no longer serves, foster resilience, and restore inner safety, connection, and freedom, leading to a life of greater wholeness and well-being.

The path to building a family is deeply personal, and for many, it includes heartbreaking loss. Whether it’s miscarriage, stillbirth, termination, infertility, or the loss of a hoped-for future, your grief is valid, and your story matters.

There is no hierarchy of loss—each experience is unique and deserving of space for grief and healing. Every loss leaves its imprint, and no matter when it occurred, it carries profound emotional weight.

Grief isn’t about “moving on”; it’s about honoring the depth of your pain and love. Healing means learning to carry your loss differently and finding connection amidst the sorrow.

As a bereaved parent and trusted voice in the pregnancy and infant loss community, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space to process your grief. Together, we’ll acknowledge the complexities of your journey and explore ways to navigate it with care and understanding.

True healing is about honoring your journey, allowing love and grief to coexist, and finding acceptance in your own time. Integration doesn’t mean forgetting—it’s about gently weaving the experience into your life and carrying it in a way that feels true and sustainable.

Parenting begins with you. While extremely meaningful, it can often feel overwhelming, with feelings of self-doubt and guilt.

How we were parented shapes how we show up for our children, but by addressing emotional triggers and past experiences, we can shift our approach.

This journey is about healing—not blame—creating space for connection, growth, and emotional understanding.

Attachment theory emphasizes that a child’s sense of security is shaped by their caregiver’s consistent responsiveness to their emotional needs. Secure attachment develops when parents are attuned to their child’s signals, provide comfort, and create a safe environment for emotional expression.

When you heal your own wounds, you create space for your children to flourish, modeling emotional growth and self-compassion, which builds a foundation for healthy relationships.

Parenting isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence, connection, and repairing when things go awry.

By showing yourself compassion and embracing challenges, you can ease guilt and approach parenting with more peace. Small, meaningful shifts can strengthen your bond with your child and lead to lasting positive change.

I support parents in embracing compassionate, mindful parenting while nurturing their own well-being. Together, we’ll create an approach that is authentic, sustainable, and connected to your needs.

Pregnancy, pregnancy after loss, and the postpartum period, whether following childbirth or perinatal loss, can bring overwhelming emotional and mental challenges. Hormonal shifts and the trauma of birth or loss can deeply impact your mental health, making it difficult to reconnect with your body and sense of self.

Postpartum recovery involves both physical and emotional healing. Hormonal shifts and birth trauma can leave you feeling ungrounded or unsettled, while perinatal loss may deepen these emotions.

Pregnancy after loss brings unique emotional experiences, blending hope with moments of fear and grief. With the right support, you can navigate these shifts with compassion and care.

As a mind-body coach and perinatal mental health advocate, I provide compassionate, holistic support to help you navigate the emotional landscapes of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.

I offer guidance in processing grief, embracing the full range of emotional experiences, and connecting with specialists for hormone health and well-being. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to restore balance, heal, and help you feel more grounded and resilient.

In a world that often encourages us to ignore our inner voice, suppress our emotions, and disconnect from our bodies, finding authenticity can feel like an uphill battle. We’re taught to prioritize external expectations over internal truths, leaving many of us feeling lost, stuck, or out of alignment with who we really are.

As a mind-body coach, I guide you to reconnect with your body, emotions, and inner wisdom in a way that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with your true self. Authenticity isn’t about becoming someone new, but returning to your most authentic version and finding freedom in that truth.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs, and coping mechanisms that have held you back, and create space for new possibilities. Through compassionate guidance, you’ll deepen self-awareness, trust your inner guidance, and navigate life with more clarity and confidence.

Authenticity is an ongoing journey of living in alignment with your truth. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
