Pregnancy & Postpartum Support
Perhaps you’ve recently brought home a new baby and are just feeling a little out of sorts. This is a time when many benefit from the compassionate understanding of someone who’s been where you are.
The days following the birth of a baby are some of the most transformative in any parents’ life—particularly for the birthing parent. There will be a flurry of people surrounding you and your baby, all with their own input about what is best for the little being you’ve brought into the world. Amidst all that commotion, all the care and concern for your baby—is you. You, whose life has fully changed in a single moment. And while you are doing everything you can to learn about what this new, delightful, mysterious creature needs, I aim to focus my attention on what you need.
I am passionate about working with new parents partially because of my own ‘matrescence’ experience, which included a colicky baby, feeding difficulties, sleep difficulties, and the profound loneliness that can come with all of those things. Through accessing my own supports, I learned to rebuild and appreciate the power of the transformation that occurs during this time period. While parenting can be difficult and isolating, it can also show you the beauty of your own agency, boundaries, and compassion for the world around you.
