Coaching (in person, by telephone or Skype video)

I work with mothers, fathers, couples and grandparents. In our sessions, we work together to understand what is going on with you and your child at each stage of development, even starting before conception. I then offer you fresh perspectives and specific suggestions for positive steps you can take to help your baby and yourself. These may include setting new priorities and ways to strengthen communication with your child, your partner and other family members.

My approach is inspiring, uplifting and heartfelt. When you can find your inner balance and have solid parenting information, emotional support and a clear path, you can experience the joy of your parenting journey.

Health and Wellness Coaching (in person, by telephone or Skype video)

When you are taking on the important role of caring for your baby, you must first be able to take care of yourself. I work with to pregnant women to build good health habits. We identify personal, emotional and social resources to help them manage stress and find balance in their lives. We discuss important self-care practices, such as nutrition, exercise, rhythmic flow, body image, and hydration.

Many new mothers experience periods of fatigue, isolation, anxiety, or low self-esteem. I work with them to understand the situation, break these patterns and make positive, creative changes.

I am a registered dance/movement therapist. I can work with you to help you become more present with yourself and your child. Learning how to relax is an important skill for childbirth and parenting.
