"If at first the idea is not absurd, then there's no hope for it"

I have always been a dreamer and I love "absurd" ideas. The more crazy it sounds, the more I am going to jump in and figure it out! If you like to dream and plan, and you expect to create a whole + healthy parenthood, then you've found a new friend!

Expecting Well is the result of a hope and a dream that began over twenty years ago. Originally on the path to become a midwife, taking a detour as a photographer, and now, finally finding the place I really belong. The pieces may have taken a while to fit together, but the result is a sacred space that makes everything make sense.

Frequent Quotes: 

My Role at Expecting Well: Besides being the co-founder with the lofty ideas, I am the pregnancy/postpartum/parenthood educator and coach. I have always been frustrated with programs that overwhelm with information but don't actually assist in applying it to everyday life. If I had a secret sauce (I never keep recipes secret, BTW), then this would be it:






Refined Education + Personalized Application = The Foundation for a Transformative and Confident Parenting Journey

I am married to an incredibly supportive man and the mother to three children who span a 12 year age gap --> best thing to ever happen to us! Through the years I have found that each of my children has inspired me and pushed me to grow in unique and different ways. How awesome that something so commonplace- and if we're honest, mundane-can be transformative in ways that we can't even imagine. I am passionate about helping others live out a parenthood that brings beauty and pride to their own lives.

Baking and eating. I'm the woman who brews her own vanilla, eats dessert every night, and perfects chocolate chip cookie recipes for fun. And don't get me started on my espresso...

Everything motherhood. I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for these guys.
