When a baby is born, so is a mother. Yet so often the mother is left to navigate alone. I’ve spent the last 7 years building my business and supporting hundreds of families in Kansas City and virtually beyond. As my business transitions into the next chapter, I feel compelled to share this much-needed integration into women’s health + wellness, so that many more families have the support that they need during the most vulnerable times of their lives.

This training is meant for professionals in women + family wellness that work with postpartum families wanting to expand their knowledge in caring for mothers with a holistic approach. Doulas, Midwives, Ob-gyns, Nurses, Chiropractors, Physical therapists, Mental health practitioners, Bodyworkers of all kinds, and also mothers wanting to prepare for their own postpartum time.
