A Journey into Motherhood

I decided to take a break from posting as I was navigating through pregnancy and the COVID-19 pandemic. What a crazy time to be pregnant with my first child! Now I sit here, watching my now 2 week old baby boy sleep as I write this. I am excited to get back into the workforce and navigate work/life balance in a whole new way. 

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind and I have learned so much about how to juggle both the needs of my newborn and my own needs. Parenthood doesn’t come with any sort of manual and the adjustment phase is hard! Trust me, I am in the thick of it as we speak! The most important thing I have learned thus far is no matter what, you are doing your best, and you know best what your child needs. Breastfeeding is hard, the lack of sleep is hard and the postpartum hormone dump can be extremely challenging.  I have learned so much through my journey into motherhood and am excited to guide others through any or all stages through the fertility and postpartum journey. 

Pregnancy didn’t come easy for me and was met with a lot of anxiety, doubt and uncertainty. I was diagnosed with PCOS, did countless acupuncture sessions and needed support through hormone medication and IUI in order to conceive. Now I sit here with my newborn baby and despite all the challenges to get here, couldn’t be happier. I understand the hardships in trying to conceive and am passionate about supporting you through your journey! If you are looking for guidance in trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy or releasing the guilt associated with returning to work, lets talk!
