About

As a woman, wife, mother and grandmother, I understand the needs of women desiring to become mothers. The dynamics surrounding motherhood can be scary, complicated and frustrating. At the same time, motherhood is also filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment at the miracle of birth. As life bearers and givers, it is important to understand (grasp) not only the physical, mental and emotional needs, but also a connection to the spiritual. My role is to fuse all aspects of those needs to help expectant and adoptive mothers thrive in this new part of their journey.
