"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 the most 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.
