Dear resilient, strong, incredible YOU!

I can not express enough how grateful I am that you are here. I know one thing for sure: you are doing everything possible to achieve the results you desperately long for. You are unbelievably STRONG and RESILIENT! I admire and respect your tenacity and see the Mama Bear in you already taking shape. Coping with the extreme unknown is beyond hard; it can be brutal. There are often no concrete answers to the reason WHY you may not be conceiving, why it is taking so long to adopt, or why this is even happening for you when so many others are moving into the next stage of their lives. As you sit on the sidelines and work up as much “I’m so happy for you” as possible. You are not alone.

Having gone through fertility treatments like IUI and IVF, as well as the adoption process, I bring a unique perspective to my coaching. It took us ten years to get to our little guy. The short version of our journey started by trying the "old-fashioned" way. Then, I was diagnosed with “unexplained” infertility (super helpful), which led to MANY intense fertility treatments, 13 IUIs, 4 1/2 IVFs, and countless other procedures and medications. After seven years, My husband and I switched gears to fulfill our dream through adoption; 4 years after that, we became parents.

My kiddo also has a rare congenital heart defect, and I genuinely believe in my bones that all the struggles that led me to him also prepared me for motherhood and to be his Mom with his beautiful, unique heart.

My coaching support is designed to make the journey lighter for you. It is two-fold. First and foremost, I want you to focus on being as kind to yourself as possible. This may feel very foreign to you, but that is where I come in. I will equip you with tools for transformational habit change, coping strategies, and techniques to listen to your intuition when things get murky. This leads to the second part: these resources will help you move from merely surviving to truly thriving during this challenging time. I promise it is possible.

This experience is incredibly complex to explain to people who have not experienced it. It is so deeply personal and painful. You are not crazy, and this is NOT your fault. It’s big. I am not a therapist. (I will always recommend people add an excellent therapist to their support team.) I AM a woman who has traveled this road and GETS IT. My personal experiences and skills as a health and life coach allow me to be a guiding light on your path.

In my journey, it wasn't until I reached out for help that I began to feel safe and supported during such an incredibly isolating experience. With help, I could finally take a deep breath, listen to my intuition, and advocate for myself and my husband.

“Research has shown that women with infertility have the same anxiety and depression levels as women with cancer, heart disease, and HIV. Many societies do not understand that infertility is a disease, so couples are blamed for their condition. Studies compare the depression cancer patients go through with that of infertility patients.
