Talk about maternal mental health.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because for 9 months we carry a tiny life within us, growing and evolving; stardust turned to breath.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because everyone always asks “how’s the baby” and rarely, “how’s mom”.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because in the dead of night, while rocking baby back to sleep, is when the tears fall.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because raising littles is a job- exhausting and exhilarating; happy and sad; easy and hard.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because post partum doesn’t end at 6 weeks or 6 months or 6 years.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because mothers shouldn’t have to carry the weight alone or struggle in silence.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because every mom has doubts, fears, insecurities and challenges.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because it’s important. Because it’s necessary.
Talk about maternal mental health.
Because, like baby, mom needs to be held too.

Your 6 week post partum check-up is NOT ENOUGH! . . Don’t get me wrong- I absolutely love my doctor! They also know my professional background, so I’m assuming they know that I know what to do for proper recovery and issues to look out for (especially since this is baby #3)… but still- our healthcare system is broken when it comes to maternal health. . . If you’re postpartum and struggling with recovery, fitness or the 4th trimester, DM me and let’s work together! ✨👩🏼‍🍼 . . #PostPartum #PostPartumRecovery #PostPartumCheckUp #FourthTrimester #MaternalHealth #Motherhood #Baby #Mom #MaternalHealthcare #Rest #Recovery #PostPartumExercise #PostPartumFitness #PostPartumRehab #BarefootRMT

On September 29th I gave birth to my third child- another girl! I now have 3 girls! Everyone is healthy and happy and settling into life as a group of 5.

Instagram! HI!
…
Back in December, I felt the need to turn inward and take a break from social media. I found myself burning out from trying to keep up. Trying to keep up with creating and posting content; raising my daughters and family life; taking care of myself, etc.
…
7 months later, I’ve decided to creep back and though I won’t be fully active on here just yet, I thought I’d give a little glimpse of life lately.
…
Life has been full! My oldest daughter finished her very first year of school; my baby turned one and is a busy little monkey chasing her older sister all around. Summer is in full swing and we’re taking advantage of it. Hectic, but happy.
…
I started my own little baking business! Check out .confections if you like treats and want some goodies. Everything is delicious, made to order, from scratch, in my kitchen.
…
I have another baby on the way! I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant and though this happened a little sooner than we were planning, we’re very excited.
…
All this to say, I’ve been an RMT for almost 11 years now. I’m truly blessed to do something I love and interact with great people every day. I count myself lucky to have made it this long in my career and hope to continue for many years to come. At this time in life, my focus is shifting to my family and taking a step back from practice. I’ve been honestly mourning this change for some time now, but I know in my heart this is the move I need to make. Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband who not only supports this decision to stay home with the kids, but encourages it. Practice can wait, my children cannot. I praise the working moms and SAHM alike. Our jobs are not easy and I will definitely be adding “Mom” to my resume.
…
So. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for taking the time. The time to read this. The time trusting me with your body + health journey. The time spent in my treatment room. This isn’t goodbye, but a see ya around ✌🏻✨
