My Story
Fifteen years ago, I thought I was prepared.
I had taken the classes.
I read the books.
I had a birth plan.
I felt ready.
Then postpartum arrived.
Despite all of that preparation, I wasn't ready for the recovery, the identity shift, the emotional ups and downs, or how much I would need support.
The experience never left me.
Since then, I've spent years working as a labor and delivery nurse, mother-baby nurse, and certified doula, caring for hundreds of women as they welcomed their babies.
Again and again, I saw the same thing.
Women were prepared for birth.
Very few felt prepared for postpartum.
Rooted & Ready is the workshop I wish someone had offered me.
A space where we prepare not only for baby's arrival, but for your recovery, your wellbeing, your relationships and your transition into motherhood.
Why This Workshop
Postpartum is weeks.
Months.
Sometimes longer.
While so much attention is placed on preparing for labor, many mothers enter the fourth trimester wondering:
- Is this normal?
- Why didn't anyone tell me this?
- Am I doing this right?
- Why do I feel overwhelmed?
You deserve better than figuring it out alone.
