Being a mom is a huge part of who I am.

My experiences with a traumatic birth, postpartum depression, anxiety, and PTSD have changed my life and my path. Simply waking up every morning with two growing humans looking to me for answers every day has seriously altered my life.

It is part of what defines me.

PART.

I’m also a writer because I have always been a writer. It is how I enter the world and how I find out what I think about it.

I’m a teacher and coach because I have always loved sharing my knowledge. (Ok, maybe there’s a bit of a control freak in there too…)

I’m a speaker because I have a big mouth and a lot to say. Always have, always will. Ask my mom. (No, don’t do that. You don’t have that kind of time).

I am passionate about helping those who mother to find and define all of the pieces of themselves - not only the parts defined by motherhood.

There is no universal experience of motherhood, no hard and fast rules, no real way to know that we’re doing any of this right until after we’ve done it. For each of us, it’s different.

Okay - here’s the professional bio:

I’m a maternal mental health expert, advocate, and community leader who helps moms remove their capes and reconnect with their whole selves.  As a certified life coach and founder of The Mom Center, an online community exclusively for moms, I’ve coached over 3,000 mothers on how to place their names at the top of their priority list, without guilt or shame.

The Whole Human Mama approach to this work includes a methodology that sits at the intersection of capitalism, patriarchy, and self-care. My message moves beyond the traditional themes of finding balance and improving productivity for moms, and takes a 360 degree look into strategies that encourage their complete mental and emotional wellness.  

Described as radical, honest, and uplifting, my work is inspired by my experiences with recovering from a traumatic birth and battling postpartum depression, when I became a mom for the first time.

My goal is to put moms in the spotlight and celebrate them for their courage to stand boldly in the truth of who they are.
