My story

Before my pregnancy, I was working full-time but was burned out. When I found out I was pregnant, I knew deep down that I was not going to be the mother I wanted to be if I stayed so I gave notice to my previous employer. As I learned about my approaching motherhood, I felt compelled to dig deeper than the common narrative that was being told to me. I learned how to advocate for myself and my baby throughout my pregnancy by listening to my body and my intuition and saying no to things that did not feel right or aligned. Instead of a hospital birth, my son was born in 2024 in the bedroom of our home, a home birth that I would have been scared to go through before this path.

From there, the awakening continued. I was so in awe and love with my son. Sleeping separate was no longer a thought in my mind, so we bedshared and still do. I responded every time he cried, day and night, but I did not know anyone else doing the same; everyone I knew would sleep train their babies. Further investigation led me to Goodnightmoonchild where I took the Sacred Sleep course. I felt so empowered and embodied after this course that I immediately registered for the Integrative Infant Sleep Practitioner program. This program was the latest awakening, fueling the passion in me to help every mother feel the same empowerment and embodiment when advocating for themselves and their babies.
