Cool Beans And Weathering The Storm
Other than hearing me say “cool beans” and a keenly placed curse word or two.
I am here to weather the storm with you through all phased of growing your family, the highs and lows of the perinatal period and all that comes with it- and a bag of chips.
I will be there 100% telling you it’s ok to not be okay.
I bring a huge dose of specialties to help you heal and get through it all.
(I’m not trying to brag here, I just want you to know that you’re in good hands).
Being Imperfect With You
In our sessions, expect to be somewhat surprised at how well I remember all the little, big, and in between things you share; listening is definitely one of my superpowers.
I am here to just be human, to laugh, and to be imperfect with you.
A Good-Kinda-Weird Vibe
When we work together, you get to have the cake (the transformation through a specialized approach)...
and you get the frosting and sprinkles too -
the warmth, feeling heard, a good-kinda-weird vibe, the perfect nudges and challenges…
and good dollop of sarcasm.
