My Background
I am a wife, a mother to my beautiful daughter, a dog-lover, and a people-person (but I am also an introvert), love to travel and connect with nature.
I took training in Perinatal Mental Health Disorder, where I learned so much about pregnancy and fertility struggles. I was so fascinated by learning ways to help the TTC (trying to conceive) community and expecting/mothers during this happy but difficult time. I just could not keep this information to myself.
This is a difficult journey to go through alone. It is so important that if you are trying to conceive, pregnant, or postpartum, you have a strong support system. Sometimes that may include a therapist who helps you overcome depression, anxiety, or obsessive thoughts. You do not have to do it alone.
