Every behavior and every feeling is being fueled by a need.

A need that you deserve to be supported through.

Contact your support system, engage in as much (which might even be a few minutes) of self care as you can, think about what you're needing/missing!

When we realize what we need or what is missing, were more able to accept the support we deserve.

Always remember that your feelings are valid. Your feelings are okay. Your feelings have a need.

Today is infant and pregnancy loss remembrance day and like countless others, I want to reach out and send my thoughts and prayers to each of you who have had to live this tragedy.

May your children always be remembered and your love live on in their memory.

Unfortunately, this is a loss that 1/4 parents will endure. Your story is tragic, but your strength is remarkable!

You are not alone! If have ever, or do ever you find yourself in this situation, I strongly encourage you to reach out for the support you most certainly deserve. Support groups, therapy, midwives, doulas, partners ... So many want to have the opportunity to support you!

October is such a huge awareness month with so many amazing causes. It is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

The unfortunate reality is that there can be trauma in pregnancy. Your feelings during pregnancy and anything that pregnancy brings to you are okay, your feelings are valid, your feelings are appreciated, your feelings are YOUR FEELINGS.

Sometimes the pregnancy can bring with it in uncertainty, and that can lead to true trauma for the pregnant person as well as the partner.

Too often the pregnant person and partner can be left with their feelings, wondering if their feelings are valid, or if they should feel a certain type of way.

1/4 pregnancies end in miscarriages. If you had the unfortunate circumstance of having pregnancy or birth trauma I strongly encourage you to reach out. Reach out to your support system, reach out to your doula, or to your midwife, reach out to a therapist.

Please know you are not alone in your trauma! I hear your sarrows and I see your strength!

It's rainbow baby day and want to embrace it and celebrate it.

For those who may not know what a rainbow baby is, is a child born to a family who has lost a child previously.

Sometimes these are the children born to those who didn't think it was going to be possible.

Sometimes these parents will have an array of feelings and THAT IS OK!

It's ok to feel scared, angry, and sad. And it's ok to feel worried or that it isn't real right away. It's even ok to feel all these feelings and everything in between.

But these children will know a Love that only they can feel.

If this is something you are about to experience, I encourage you to invest in support for yourself! I am here to provide you the support you deserve!
