Here’s what I stand for

 

Curiosity

In our lives as we (re)discover & connect to what brings us joy & lights us up.

In mothering where we harness the magic of connection, mindful pauses & play.

Connection

I believe the power of connection between humans to support, learn and grow from each other.

I aim to build & nurture a community where mamas feel seen & heard in their triumphs & struggles, and supported by me & others in their motherhood journey.

Compassion

To my clients, audience, peers, mentors, team and myself.

Showing kindness, compassion and empathy are part of what I do and how I work with people - to hold space in a way that allows me & others to feel safe & be their authentic self

I work with mothers to free themselves from constant frustration & guilt, and start experiencing peace & joy in life & parenting

I help mothers to sift through the noise, develop their parenting philosophy & navigate transitions confidently - whether it is going back to work after maternity leave, finding meaning & joy as a new mom, or losses & grief in life. My work is rooted in Polyvagal Theory, Neuroscience, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness & Motherhood Sociology, & from my experience as a mama to two children.

My professional training include:
