At some point we all are holding pain in our systems. Giving yourself and your family freedom to choose and how to heal is a great act of love and courage. Wound work is not easy but provides great new freedom and wisdoms. My hope is to serve you well as you choose the best path.

Serving moms, dads, and families along the journey of parenthood is at the heart of my purpose. The entry into parenthood is a transformative time of growth, accompanied with a wide range of emotions. Joy and loss, celebration and sorrow, contentedness and grief are present for many. I support parents in accessing their truth and embodying a gentle and curious relationship with themselves, leading to a greater relationship with their child and loved ones.
