Rooted in a
Nurturing Spirit

Hi! As a fellow mom, my work is deeply shaped by lived experience. I’ve walked through breastfeeding challenges, oral ties, torticollis, and the emotional and physical load of caring for a baby while relocating overseas. Those chapters of my own journey allow me to meet families with real empathy, practical understanding, and care that honors not only the baby’s body, but the mother’s nervous system as well.

At the core of my practice is the connection between mother and infant. I blend neurodevelopmental knowledge with a whole-person understanding of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum life to gently support families as they find their footing. Through my work caring for infants and families in diverse settings—including pediatrics, adult care, those who've experienced trauma, and military communities around the US and abroad—and by developing and leading trauma-informed care trainings for other professionals, I’ve learned that safety, trust, and connection are essential for both development and confidence. I have also found that working with the mother-infant dyad has my heart!

My goal is to help you build a foundation of regulation, resilience, and confidence so you can feel grounded, supported, and connected from the very beginning. 

It would be an honor to support you and your little one in this season!
