Moms experiencing loss, I'm so sorry you are here.
Whether you are going through this personally or you are a family member or friend seeking support for your loved one- I applaud your bravery and wisdom to ask for help.
When everything feels dark and looking forward seems impossible, it can be easy to lose hope. While you are not alone, it can feel that way at times. You may feel as though you are drowning but you don't have to survive these crashing waves alone.
I will meet you where you are at - to sit with you and see you.
Let me take care of the things that feel so unimportant and overwhelming (but still need done). Let me help you take little steps forward day by day until the darkness isn't quite as dark, the waves have settled, and dusk has turned into dawn.

My Philosophy & Promise
No matter how far along in pregnancy you were at the time of your loss, you were and will always be deeply connected to the tiny soul you created and grew within you.
-
I believe that your baby's life and your motherhood should be honored in whatever way you wish.
-
I believe that grief can be felt and explored in many different ways. Acknowledging and honoring each emotion that arises on their own timeline is critical for your healing process.
-
I will be present to your needs, listening with love, and guiding with gentleness.
Sometimes we know ahead of time that a baby is about to pass and sometimes it comes as a complete surprise. In either instance please call and/or text me and I will do my best to join you in person whether that is at a hospital or in your home.
*I am not a medical provider- if you have concerns for mom's health and safety, call 911 or your birth provider. My role during your labor and delivery or miscarriage would be as a doula providing emotional and logistical support.
