MY STORY

Like I said, I never planned to be here.

Matrescence—the physical, emotional, hormonal, cultural, and social transition of becoming a mother—rocked my world in ways I never expected.

A decade into my nonprofit career, I went to business school with a clear career path in mind—focused on growing in the job I loved and applying what I’d learned. But then, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum changed everything.

When I gave birth to my son, I felt powerful, capable, and amazed at what my body and mind could do. But postpartum was something else entirely. Reality didn’t meet my expectations, and I felt lost in the magnitude of the changes. I was a stranger to myself—shrinking in some ways while rising in others.

Reflecting on my birth story, I realized even though it was overwhelmingly positive, there were so many unspoken questions and emotions I hadn’t prepared for. I felt both empowered and completely disoriented—a storm of contrasts that left me searching for clarity.

Navigating these new world of continuous highs and lows and dualities opened my eyes to the profound transformation of motherhood. This journey doesn’t just change us as parents; it transforms us as people. That realization lit a fire in me to support other families through their transitions and advocate for workplace cultures that are more life- and family-friendly.

Through my own unexpected twists, I discovered how to blend my background in human development, business strategy, and doula care with my personal experience to move through change with purpose and clarity. I learned how to embrace the contrasts of motherhood and use them as a springboard for growth.

Now, I use those same tools to help moms like you navigate life’s biggest transitions. Whether you’re preparing for parental leave, stepping into postpartum life, or redefining your identity, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and alignment in this new season.

Matrescence is as developmentally profound as a ramped-up adolescence—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels uniquely yours—rooted in meaning, purpose, and a life you truly love.

If you’re ready to step into this next version of yourself and create a life that reflects who you truly are (and live that with confidence!) I’m here to help and hold space for your journey.
