Is this you?
-
You’re up at 2:00 AM, scrolling through endless articles about infant sleep, toddler tantrums, or "normal" postpartum anxiety. You’re looking for a plan, but all you find is more noise.
-
You love your child deeply, but you’re struggling to find the "you" that existed before the diaper changes and the mental load. You feel like you’re performing motherhood rather than experiencing it.
-
You find yourself reacting to your child’s big emotions with your own or struggling to connect with your baby after a traumatic birth. Feeling a flash of rage or a wave of shut-down, and then carrying the heavy "mom guilt" for the rest of the day.
-
You’re used to being "good" at things, but parenting feels like a job where the goalposts are constantly moving, especially as your family grows. You feel like you’re failing at the one thing that matters most.
If any of this feels familiar, I want you to know: It’s not a personal failure. It’s a nervous system response to a profound life transition. You aren’t 'losing it', you are simply navigating a season that wasn't meant to be handled alone
The Heart & Science Behind Early Bonds
I am not only a licensed professional with certifications in perinatal mental health and infant and early childhood mental health, but I am a mother who understands the "identity earthquake" of parenthood. My mission is to move you beyond the 2:00 AM Google searches and into a place of grounded, confident connection with yourself and your child.
