First, let me say I am not one to talk myself up. As an INFJ, I am a more quiet *anxious* behind-the-scenes type. It is why social media never resonated with me, because I cannot be "on" enough to gain the kind of audience those platforms require. I like my quiet and solitude; as you know, those moments are rare in motherhood. I could not handle another place that overstimulated my already highly sensitive being.

Second, I am not new to mental health, coaching, and wellness. I have been in this field for almost twenty years.

A professional~ish overview:

• Certified Holistic Health and Intuitive Life Coach

• Master’s Degree in Psychology with a focus on mental wellness and holistic approaches

• A long-time advocate for holistic wellness and intuition-led living

• Additional training in meditation, EFT, and mindset practices

I have seen more fads come and go; I have been using essential oils since before there were MLM influencers for them… sort of joking…. I say that so you know I have some educational and personal knowledge regarding holistic wellness. I also do not take the traditional route to many of the topics you find in these circles…you will have to stick around to learn more about my approach =)

Regarding Motherhood…

I am not a brand new mother, though I am not fully experienced in the teen years or empty nest life (as just under a decade in). I have been through all of the things with the little stage.

I am a mother of twins and have been through a high-risk pregnancy, including surgery during pregnancy, hospital bedrest, NICU stays, postpartum depression and anxiety, and so much more.

So, I might not have your exact pregnancy, postpartum, or current motherhood experience because each of us is gifted a unique journey of motherhood. Still, due to my personal motherhood experiences, I have gained an enormous amount of understanding of the complexities and stressors we all face in becoming a mother…and I am *very* much here to support you. 

Personal, Wellness & Spiritual Beliefs

• I was raised Catholic and still hold deep faith. Still, I also embrace wisdom passed down through ancient traditions, including intuitive practices rooted in sacred homemaking (see Italian Folk Catholicism/spirituality). My approach honors faith, family, and natural cycles as a way of living in alignment with divine guidance. My resources often cover ideas and teachings rooted in prayer, consciousness, scripture, and energetic principles.

• I believe in diverse paths to a divine relationship and spiritual growth (one path is not superior to another); we all have access to God and our true divinity.

• I am a true rock/grunge/metal girl; however, classical music or a lovely time-period drama soundtrack can transport my soul to a life once lived.

• I was born without a whole thyroid gland. This means my body has to rely on pharmaceutical medicine (no holistic medicine can support this function for me) while at the same being very skeptical of big pharma, supporting medical freedom, and personally always opting to take a natural route when I can.

I have very little if no, patience for the following:

• Social media and mind-numbing scrolling; in fact, you will find that my content often speaks about how to reduce our use of technology to combat overwhelm, gain a better connection to our intuition, and simplify our everyday living.

• Mommy wine or hustle culture, things I believe have only been perpetuated through social media and are damaging to our well-being.

• Ideological thinking, especially regarding political and religious beliefs: We all have our own biases and experiences, so it is important to understand where others come from to learn, grow, and expand our consciousness, not just individually but as a collective society.
