About Your Postpartum Transition Coach

A little bit about myself, I'm a quirky momma of two girls--Freya and Sophie, a fur mom to a puggle named Pippin, and a wife to a blue collar man.

I'm a small town girl, originating from the farming community of Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. I love to read and have dabbled in fictional writing. I love me some deep conversation over coffee/tea/wine. In my transition into my thirties/married life/home ownership/motherhood I've developed an interest in plants, baking, homemaking--I stress these are interests, not things I have mastered.

My biggest passion is for my family and for moms. Motherhood is that unique sisterhood of women who just get it. We've been there, and we've developed this innate drive to help out. "Girl, let me change this diaper and settled the kiddo while you take that phone call." Mommas. Just. Get. It.

As I transitioned into motherhood I realized just how much of a gap there is in support for mothers. There's a lot of baby-focused resources, but nothing for momma. And after my second little, I struggled with PPD and actively sought help which included medications. But my big question became, what if there was a way to help moms before it got to that point? So I got my certification as a Postpartum Transition Coach with a goal of momma-focused care and support that allows you to keep your head on straight while you enjoy the biggest change of your life. Motherhood not only rips you a new one, it shreds your heart and souls and puts it back together in a way that you don't necessarily recognize and you have to somehow discover who you are all over again. It's like redoing puberty but you have to keep this little human alive at the same time.

They say there's no instruction manual for motherhood, well darned if I don't want to try to be the closest thing to it for the moms in my community and show my two little girls what life is really about--community, the people in our lives and how we can each enrich each other every day.
