Postpartum and Parent Coaching

for Families in Austin and Beyond

You're not broken. You're not failing. You're transforming.


And that transformation? It's one of the most challenging things you'll ever do.

Imagine having a coach by your side who truly gets it—someone in your corner offering evidence-based guidance and unwavering compassion as you navigate the wild ride of being and becoming a parent. No more drowning in conflicting advice. No more midnight spirals questioning every single decision. No more feeling like everyone else has this figured out except you.

Here's the truth: Confident parenting isn't about perfection.

I know because I’ve been there. I’ve questioned every choice I had to make, felt like I made the wrong decision every time, and ultimately blamed myself for failing my kiddos. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t my fault.)

Whether you're struggling with your new identity as a mom or trying to balance multiple children while keeping your sanity, I’m a fellow parent who’s been there in the trenches too and can help you reduce the perpetual overwhelm.

If you’re struggling with your relationship with your partner during this transition or facing the emotional minefield of returning to work, I'll help you move from surviving to thriving. Because you deserve more than just getting through each day—you deserve to feel empowered, confident, and genuinely joyful about parenthood and the parent you're becoming.

Ready to stop questioning yourself and start trusting your instincts?

Why Trust Me With Your Journey?

I’m a Certified Perinatal Behavioral Health Coach, certified postpartum doula, and lactation consultant (IBCLC) who's walked this path personally—three times. I've helped thousands of families navigate early parenthood, but more important, I've been the mom crying at preschool drop-off because I missed the memo about my kid’s field trip when I was living in a sleep-deprived baby haze after having our secondborn.

I get it because I've lived it. My personal mix of lived experience, clinical practice, and knowledge of the most up-to-date research means I can give you evidence-based strategies that actually work in real life (and don’t just sound good in a fancy parenting book). Together we’ll come up with concrete strategies that work for your brain and your family, to help you tap into your parenting intuition and finally shake off some of the overwhelm of these challenging early days of parenthood.

3 Comprehensive Support Packages Available

Custom Packages Available Upon Request

  • Begin working with me during pregnancy or after baby arrives.

  • Weekly for the first eight weeks, biweekly for the four weeks

  • Unlimited support via private chat and voice memos from booking until your baby is 3 months old—perfect for those “Is this normal?” moments at 3am

  • Tailored to your specific challenges. My brain is a treasure trove of parenting resources, and I’ll freely share all of them with you!

  • Coaching clients receive free priority registration to my biweekly virtual parent support group.

The New Mom Package

My signature coaching package—perfect for any primary caregiver navigating early parenthood.


What’s included:

We’ll work together on:

Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing

  • The identity crisis: Who even am I now that I spend all day making milk and wiping bottoms?

  • Managing the 2am spiral of anxiety and intrusive thoughts

  • Developing coping strategies you’ll actually use when you’re too tired to remember your own name

Your Changing Body & Self

  • Handling the hormonal roller coaster when you rage-cry over spilled breast milk (okay, maybe that’s a valid reason to rage-cry.)

  • Figuring out nutrition, fitness, and overall health now that your body has grown a whole new human being

  • Strategizing ways to eat something other than protein bars and Door Dash meals

  • Finding moments of self-care that actually fit your life as a new parent (Spa days? I don’t think so.)

Baby & Parenting Concerns

  • Trusting your instincts when everyone has an opinion about your baby’s sleep

  • Raising resilient babies with healthy attachment (when maybe you don’t have the healthiest attachment style yourself)

  • Decoding your baby’s cries to figure out if they’re tired, hungry, cold, or just hate life outside the uterus

Building Your Village

  • Setting boundaries when your parents, in-laws, and everyone around you wants to “help” and give unsolicited advice

  • Asking for support without feeling like you’re failing as a parent or a burden on others

  • Creating a support system that sustains you long-term, even when all your old friends are still going to happy hour

I’ve walked through this transition, three times, in fact. I understand the overwhelming array of emotions of early motherhood, the perpetual messaging that you’re doing something wrong, and the juggling act of navigating a new identity while raising a beautiful tiny new human. I’d be honored to walk this familiar path with you.

The Growing Family Package

Whether you’re navigating changes to your relationship with your partner or learning to adjust to caring for multiple children, this support is especially for you.


What’s included:

We'll Work Together On:

Partner Relationships

  • Find ways to spend time together as a couple, not just co-parents

  • Actually talk about something other than logistics or the kid(s) in your 10 minutes together

  • Handle it when your partner says "just tell me what you need" but you're too exhausted to even know, much less explain it in coherent English

Household Management

  • End the silent resentment when you're doing bedtime solo while they load the dishwasher

  • Stop being the only one who remembers appointments, permission slips, and when you're out of diapers

Sibling Dynamics

  • Handle your 3-year-old asking "When can we send the baby back?" without crying or yelling

  • Find 15 minutes of one-on-one time that doesn't involve bribing with screen time

  • Stop feeling like you're failing everyone when someone is always crying (including you)

Your Identity in It All

  • Remember who you were before "Mom of [number]"

  • Ask for help without feeling like you're admitting defeat

  • Maintain friendships and spend time on your passions when you can't even wash your hair regularly

  • Begin working with me during pregnancy or postpartum. Families expecting their second or third child are strongly recommended to begin their coaching work during pregnancy to help prepare the future older sibling for their important new role in the family!

  • Weekly for the first four weeks, biweekly for the last four weeks

  • Unlimited support via private chat and voice memos for 8 weeks

  • Tailored to your specific challenges. My brain is a treasure trove of parenting resources, and I’ll freely share all of them with you!

  • Coaching clients receive free priority registration to my biweekly virtual parent support group.

A little more about Heather:


A board-certified lactation consultant since 2020, specialist in perinatal mental health and neurodivergence, international professional speaker, and entrepreneur, I have over a decade of experience in supporting new and growing families. I’m also a mom who has survived potty training three children, homeschooling during the pandemic, and completing a dissertation while caring for a newborn (not sure which of these was the most challenging).

But what I’m most proud of? Figuring out that it’s okay to let go of external expectations and trust my own instincts as a mama…and helping other parents discover the same.
