PERINATAL WELLNESS
Your perinatal wellness heavily depends on how your community welcomes and supports your parenting journey.
My commitment is to shift the current paradigm into a new reality where parents are supported in reverence. I hold the vision of a community that fully understands that the sacred work of parenting demands a tremendous out flow of physical, emotional, and spiritual energy and places parents doing this sacred work as the most valuable contributors of the community.

I offer you and your family/community a two-day program (3 hrs each) for them to step into their roll informed and connected to your process. Ideally we do this prenatally.
