hold the mother. change the world.

It all began in 2017—this was my first exposure to the maternal/infant world as a Registered Nurse. I loved the power women displayed in the birthing room & beyond.

Flash forward to 2022, when it was my own turn. I thought my years of clinical experience with newborns had prepared me for my parenting journey. But it hadn’t.

I went home overwhelmed, exhausted, and so very lonely. I fell prey to so many online accounts. Accounts telling me I was ‘spoiling my baby by holding them’. Or that I ‘needed to get my newborn on a schedule’. Accounts that made me feel like crap.

I decided that was enough. I wanted to create a supportive space for mothers. One that nurtured them. Held them. Supported them. Educated them.

This became my mission. To help mothers feel educated and empowered during every stage of their parenting journey. I provide valuable resources & support that enables mothers to make informed decisions, build confidence, and embrace their role as parents.

I strive to empower you to navigate the ups and downs of parenting with knowledge and ease.

I believe in fostering a supportive community that celebrates diversity, embraces personal growth, and nurtures the well-being of both mothers and their children.

Together, we strive to create a world where every mother feels confident and empowered in her journey of motherhood.

THE EASIEST HACK TO GET YOUR BABY TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT 🖖🏼 April fools. But actually idk it might work ✨

Last week I was reminded by @the.kat.river that motherhood is rhythm. Some days are extremely easy. Some days flow. And other days are extremely hard. Women are cyclical. By nature we are changing each day of the month. You can fight that or you can lean into it. When the day is hard you can slow. You don’t always have to push through—that is a patriarchal way of thinking. You don’t have to “girl boss” your shitty days and push through. You can choose to be intentional with slowness. Just as you would in your luteal phase of your menstrual cycle. We are women. We are mothers. We are makers. We don’t need to conform to any way of being—we create being. Find your rhythm & find your flow ✨

BREASTFEEDING IS BIG PICTURE. There’s more to it than an amount in a bottle. And yes, when I say breastfeeding I’m also saying pumping. Because breastfeeding is pumping. Anywayyyyyy is anyone else seeing this obsession with milk supply? I totally understand wanting to feed our babies and make sure they are comfortable. But is worrying about it stressing you out? Because that won’t help either. If you’re an exclusive pumper and believe your milk supply has ‘dropped’ there are always things we need to take into account: maybe the volume is less but fat content is more? Maybe our flanges were sized for our newly postpartum nipples and 4 weeks down the line that sizing has changed? AS ALWAYS these things CANNOT be answered by the internet. You need an individualized support plan for you & baby. And if you don’t want lactation help & support—ALWAYS remember to look at your baby. They will tell you everything you’ll ever need to know 🤍 ❗️I am here to help! I’ve partnered with @lactationnetwork to give insurance-covered support. Comment BOOB, and I’ll send you the link to check your insurance ✨✨

I am a recovering perfectionist. Raising a strong willed, beautiful, powerful baby girl has changed everything about me. Toddlers have a way of doing that to us. Mothering has a way of changing us before we’re even aware of it. I’ve let go of perfection. Completely. I welcome the messy. I release control. I am open to the lessons ✨

Honestly I get stopped ALL THE TIME & people ask me for fashion advice. And it’s not easy looking this good on limited sleep but somehow I do it… Happy Sunday mamas! Visit the LTK for all the links ✨

Creating a childhood that your kids don’t have to escape from. One filled with fairy dust & paint on the wood table. One where home is their safe space. Breastfeeding is so many things to me. Its connection. It’s nourishment. It’s an energy exchange. But it’s also such an incredible journey—one that changes with each season. So many wonderful musings regarding advice for new mothers. The kind of advice that makes you feel whole. The advice that is void of fear mongering and the “just waits”. A combination of “this journey is amazing, protect your energy” and “plan for the right support to lift you up”. Emmett is becoming a side lying pro & momma is the bed sharing queen. What an incredible way to connect with my baby. A way that is SAFE & has been used for CENTURIES ✨ Embrace the postpartum body. The one that looks different. The one that may be softer. More round. There is great power is loving our bodies in a world that thrives off us hating them 🫶🏼 Grief showing up in the most beautiful ways sometimes Emmett is now an international boiiiii & he can’t wait to take the world by storm!!!! The best thing you can do for your older kiddos as you add more babies to the family is continue to be intentional with your time with them. They need that connection with you no matter what. When you have to borrow the car with no car seats so you buckle the newborn in safely but you postpartum anxiety cannotttt function without being able to see them so you strap a mirror from a baby book to the back headrest. Its the little things 💭
