Motherhood Made Me A New Woman.
Yet guided me back to myself all at the same time.
After the birth of my son, I became deeply aware of how much support, guidance, and connection mothers truly need during the early months postpartum, which lays the foundation of mothering for years to come.
Though I had support and a wonderful group that I sought advice from, I found that what I needed most was guidance on nurturing sleep practices and nervous system regulation for both myself and my baby. That missing link was the catalyst behind this village.
I learned that…
This profoundly transformative season deserves to be met with care, trust, and community rather than isolation or pressure to figure it out alone.
As I navigated infant sleep, breastfeeding, and my own nervous system, I realized that while there is no shortage of information available to new mothers, there is a deep lack of aligned support in the postpartum period, especially when it comes to infant sleep, feeding, and the mother-baby nervous system. Many mothers are surrounded by care, yet still feel unsure, overwhelmed, and pressured to follow approaches that do not reflect their values or their baby’s development and needs. What I longed for was a village rooted in nurture, respect for biology, and confidence in the mother–baby relationship.
That longing became the foundation for my work.
The Pages
of My Story
Long before motherhood, healthcare and navigating medical systems had been a defining part of my life. I was born with an ear condition that required ongoing medical care, shaping my understanding of advocacy, embodiment, and what it means to feel truly supported or unseen within healthcare spaces. From an early age, I learned to view health through a compassionate lens, especially during vulnerable life transitions.
EARLY YEARS
My path led me to the nonprofit world and ultimately to studying psychology at American University. While working for a nonprofit focused on mind–body practices and mentoring under a neuroscientist, my understanding of health shifted away from symptom management and toward nervous system regulation, relational safety, and whole-person care.
Education & Early Career
I later became a certified Women’s Health and Wellness Coach through the Integrative Women’s Health Institute, where I supported women navigating complex reproductive and hormonal health challenges, including endometriosis and infertility. This work reinforced what I had come to see again and again: women are often offered fragmented care during the moments they most need integration, continuity, and being deeply listened to.
Women’s Health Coaching
When I began preparing for pregnancy, I immersed myself in seminars, nutrition training, and pregnancy circles, knowing how profoundly maternal wellbeing shapes both birth and baby. Birth itself became a deeply spiritual experience for me, and it mattered that my son entered the world peacefully, with respect for both of us.
Preparing for pregnancy
Still, nothing fully prepared me for postpartum. I was determined to support my son in a way that aligned with my values, I pursued certification in Nurture Neuroscience under Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum. Through this work, I learned how infant sleep can be approached through a nurturing, relationship-based lens, one that supports the development of healthy brain circuitry for lifelong mental health in both baby and mother. To further deepen my understanding of the maternal journey, I am currently pursuing certification as a Birth Doula through Joni Edelman and Ivy Joeva’s Velvet and Bone program, expanding my work to support women across pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum months.
Postpartum & Infant Care
What became clear…
It Cannot Be Sustained Without Community.
This knowledge should not be hidden behind fear-based messaging, rigid timelines, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
The Postpartum Village
The Postpartum Village was created to offer what so many mothers are missing: a modern-day village where women are supported, educated, and held during the early months of motherhood. My work centers on bridging neuroscience with maternal wisdom, helping mothers trust themselves, respond to their babies with confidence, and feel less alone as they move through this profound transition.
a modern-day village for women in the early months of motherhood.
You Were Never Meant to Do This Alone.
The next Postpartum Village gathering begins July 2026. Spots are intentionally limited to keep the space intimate and deeply supportive.
