I’m sorry you have cause to be here, but I am glad you’ve found me

I do this work to honor my mother, who died when I was 10 years old
I have personal and professional experience with pregnancy loss
I am the person I wish I had found when I needed guidance through the world of grief
I know that grief needs to be felt, witnessed, and validated
