I know you want to be a kind, patient, and present mother

Honestly, I am sure that you already ARE a kind, patient, and present mother. 

​

But maybe it doesn't feel that way to you.

​​

Maybe motherhood feels foreign. Like something you've witnessed your whole life, but now somehow feels unfamiliar and you feel disconnected.

Have you found yourself thinking...

 

I'm not doing this right.

I'm not the mother I thought I'd be.

Maybe I should just do what everyone else is doing.

I didn't think it would be so hard.

​​

Well, I am here to tell you that it doesn't have to be hard!

​

And when I say this, I'm speaking as a mom of two who has not only thought all of those things (and more). But also as someone who has dragged herself out of the massive and uncomfortable hole of isolation and intrusive thoughts to a place of freedom, confidence, and joy. 

​

​I know first hand how daunting the task seems—getting rid of all the anxiety and the feeling that no one else is going through what you're going through.

 

When the thought of waking up full of excitement for the day instead of waking up full of dread just doesn't seem like its "in the cards" for you right now. I am here to tell you that it absolutely is. 

​

And I am here to guide you there.

 

Don't wait for life to get better. Book your call HERE and make it happen!

​I believe that the postpartum period is a powerful journey of transformation. One that can have a tremendous impact on the rest of your life! 

​

That's why I not only love supporting women throughout the postpartum period, but I also really enjoy helping moms prepare for it. 

 

I'm not talking about if your registry has enough stuff in it. I'm talking about real support. The kind that makes you feel heard without having to actually say anything out loud. 


That's the kind of support I offer to you!

✔️ Accountability to care for yourself, not just the baby

"The only guarantee is that raising your child will be more difficult, and more rewarding, than you could ever have expected." 
​
-Thomas Phelan, PhD

You don't have to do this alone.

You’re becoming a mother—and that deserves support.
 

Let’s get you the insight, structure, and steady presence you need to thrive.
Because you’re not just birthing a baby.
You’re birthing you.

"We would definitely recommend Gretchen! We hired Gretchen for our third pregnancy. She is very knowledgeable presenting different evidence based facts for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. One of our favorite highlights from Gretchen was the support she gave to me and my husband throughout. She was hands on teaching my husband effective coping moves for me and she had a great bag of tricks for coping in the hospital. But most importantly to us was the advocacy she educated us on during pregnancy and delivery. Gretchen also took amazing pictures of labor and delivery of our baby girl. She really made the entire process as "easy" as unmedicated labor can be."​
