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 beautiful, messy, 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.

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.

Partner Relationships
Stop having the same fight about bedtime routines every night
Actually talk about something other than logistics or the kid(s) in your 10 minutes together

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