Hello Families!
I wanted to let you know that I will not be in the office during shelter in place as I have kids and I don’t want to expose any little ones to any diseases they may have.

I want to be of service, so I will be available for phone/video consults. PMA families, I am working with them to see how I can bill insurance for your visit.

You can text or call me at 916.572.6810 if you need support.

Stay safe and healthy!
Amity

This organization, that supports families with pregnancy and infant loss, was brought to my attention by a family that I worked with and have become attached to. At the time I saw them I had no idea of the loss they experienced. Through the sharing of their story I see how beneficial this program is, both to the receiving family and the giving. It’s a reminder that whatever individual struggle you are going through, there are others who have walked a similar path and are there to support and guide you. You are not alone.

We are deeply sorry for your loss but glad you have found us. We believe the grief of a pregnancy or infant loss is a journey that no parent should endure alone. We are here for you.

Need some new reading material? Check out the Modern Mrs. Darcy summer reading guide. Below is the minimalist version, but she’s got a more in-depth option on the site.

This a great page to follow for breastfeeding science.

What would you think if you were told that your baby is part of your body? Literally. Or that you are actually part of your baby’s body? Yes, literally. As much as it sounds more of an emotional expression of love between the mother and her baby, some of the cells that contain all our genetic info...
