If You’re Reading This, I’ve Blown Up My Life...
Dear Reader,
If you’re reading this, I’ve blown up my life — in the best and most terrifying way possible.
After more than a decade running a successful creative agency, I’ve decided to walk away from everything familiar to rebuild the system that failed me when I needed it most.
How We Got Here
Three years ago, I gave birth to my daughter, and what should’ve been a joyful beginning became the hardest chapter of my life.
A traumatic birth left her with a brain injury, a 27-day NICU stay, and me with PTSD, postpartum depression, anxiety, and a body I didn’t recognize. I was told to rest, given a six-week checkup, and sent home to recover, as if recovery were something that could fit inside a calendar.
It wasn’t. It still isn’t. And I realized, if this was the standard for care, something had to change.
Over the next few years, I learned what real healing looks like.
It’s not one appointment. It’s not another pill or protocol. It’s understanding your hormones, your nervous system, your strength — and having a real village through it all.
Somewhere between late-night feeds and endless research, I realized this wasn’t just my story. It was every woman’s story.
Well Mother
So, I’m rebuilding my life around something new: The Well Mother Method — a new standard for postpartum health built on strength, science, and support.
My goal is simple but ambitious: to create the kind of postpartum care I wish I’d had — and to set a new standard of postpartum care, the kind every woman deserves — one where women can deeply understand their new bodies, feel empowered on a path to healing, and feel supported & surrounded with community.
What This Substack Is…
This Substack will document that journey — from training as a postpartum doula and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner to building a wellness model that actually supports women after birth.
I’ll share what I’m learning, what I’m questioning, and what it really takes to turn a personal mission into a movement.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unprepared, or unheard in your own recovery — this space is for you.
I don’t know exactly where this will lead, but I know why I’m here.
To rebuild what should have existed all along, and to make sure no woman walks this road alone again.
Welcome to Well Mother.
