“At least the baby was healthy.”

That’s the minimum.

The bar should be higher than “nothing catastrophic happened.”

Mothers deserve respect, informed consent, emotional safety, and real mental health support.

Healthy baby.
Supported mother.

Both are the goal.

We can celebrate positive outcomes without lowering the standard of care for women. Maternal wellbeing isn’t a bonus feature — it’s part of quality care.

The bar can be higher.

Motherhood wasn’t meant to be a solo act. 🤍

But so many women are doing it without a village.
Without consistent help.
Without someone noticing how tired they are.

If you’re overwhelmed, irritable, lonely, or stretched thin —
that’s not a personal failure.

That’s what happens when one nervous system is carrying too much.

You deserve support.
Not because you’re falling apart.
But because you’re human. 🌙

If you don’t have a village yet, you’re allowed to build one. And you don’t have to start alone.

Motherhood isn’t a straight line — it’s messy, beautiful, exhausting, and full of growth. 🌙
Some days you’re thriving. Some days you’re just surviving. And that’s okay.

Take a deep breath. You are allowed to rest, to feel, to ask for support. You don’t have to carry it alone. 🤍

You can love what your body did
and still mourn how it looks now.
Some days that grief is loud.
Some days you are learning to meet it with care.
Both truths belong here.
Your body’s story matters. 💛

Motherhood holds so many contradictions.

Love and grief.
Gratitude and longing.
Joy and loss.

If you’ve felt this, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.

Birth trauma doesn’t heal because someone told you to move on.
It heals when it’s witnessed, supported, and treated with care.
You’re not behind. You’re responding normally.

Motherhood asks us to hold everything.

The baby.
The schedule.
The emotions.
The invisible mental load.

But who’s holding you?

This February, I’m hosting a Motherhood Circle centered on Holding & Being Held—a space where you don’t have to show up strong, productive, or put together. Just human.

If you’re craving connection, softness, and support that doesn’t come with advice or expectations, this space is for you 🤍

📅 Starts: February 7th
⏰ 9:30-11:00am
👶 Babies/kids welcome

The holidays are over—and winter can feel extra heavy.

If things feel quieter or flatter right now, nothing is wrong with you.
You’re coming down from intensity.

Instead of pushing for motivation, try giving yourself one gentle thing each week to look forward to.

Warmth over productivity.
Comfort over pressure.

Winter is a pause, not a problem. 🌙

Motherhood changes everything—including how we heal.
You deserve support that sees the whole of you, not just your symptoms.

Follow along for therapy that honors every phase. 🌙

Hi, I’m Shelby 👋

I’m a counselor, a mom, a birth nerd, and someone who believes in slowing down to savor the little things—like coffee, water, and fresh-baked bread. My own experiences—becoming a mom, navigating my first birth trauma, and learning how to care for myself—have shaped how I hold space for others. I’m passionate about helping people feel confident in their birth and postpartum journeys, offering trauma-informed support, and creating community where parents can feel truly seen and supported. This is a little window into who I am and why I love the work I do.

12/19/2025

Behind these numbers are real people and real stories.

This year held growth, deeper connection, and the launch of Motherhood Circle—a space made with care for moms to feel seen, supported, and less alone.
I’m ending the year deeply grateful and stepping into the next one excited to keep expanding meaningful support for pregnant and postpartum parents.

Here’s to another year full of meaningful moments, deep trust, and a very full heart. ❤️

Holiday mental load, but make it festive.
