Our story is many women’s story. It’s about resilience, grit, hard work, and the relentless pursuit of growth and reinvention. We’ve faced painful struggles but emerged stronger.

Through healing, and self-discovery, we've reclaimed our ancestral roots and embraced our true selves.

Discovering our power and using our voices to speak the truth.
Our transformation is not just ours, it’s a call for every woman to rise.

This is just the beginning of a bigger conversation. If something in this podcast interview resonates with you, please reach out.

Postpartum work is grief work.

Motherhood is filled with joy and new life, profound loss and transformation.

During the postpartum phase, you’re not just welcoming a baby; you’re also grieving parts of yourself.

Your independence, your old identity, your body as you knew it.

This grief often goes unspoken, but it’s real, and it deserves time and space.

In the work I do, my focus is on creating that with you. Together, we take time. We show up in the room, making space.

I’m here to witness you, to be with you, to see you, hear you, to give permission to feel all of it.

Postpartum isn’t just about healing physically; it’s about healing emotionally and spiritually too. It’s about acknowledging what you’ve lost, while navigating your new world and new self.

I believe that through rest, connection, and compassionate presence, we can process this transition together. We don’t rush the process. We let it unfold.

You are allowed to mourn the parts of yourself that have changed.

Feel, surrender, release.

You are allowed to rise stronger and more whole on the other side.

Take your time.
This too shall pass.
Take it easy.
Keep going.
One moment at a time.
