a healer. a creative. specializing in celebrating you.

Dear mama,

You shouldn’t do it alone.

You don’t have to do it alone.

Can you? Absolutely.

But what could your new journey look like if you were held?

If you had a friend and confidante alongside you every step of the way?

-to ask questions

-turn to for advice

-seek recommendations from

-to work through the consuming thoughts and big feelings with?

New experiences in life often shake the table of our realities and everything that we thought we knew.

You know yourself best. I am here to support you in grounding.

Grounding in to yourself, to the present, to the journey as a whole.

It’s often helpful to have a physical tether to who you were

before and the person you are growing into in this new season of life.

I see myself as that anchor. Holding and honoring all of you, as you are.

Only you know what is best for you. It is something we will talk about in the beginning.

It is what we will talk about through the course of our relationship.

As the journey goes on, we grow too.

You have a say in how you do so.

I’m here to listen.

I CAN’T WAIT TO ​CONNECT WITH YOU

I know you want the best for you, your family and baby.

I would love to be of service to you in this journey,

Let’s set up a time to chat about your needs if you feel called.

I envision my clients being curious, ecstatic, and nervous for what’s ahead.

You are aware of yourself and anticipating how you will be affected by what is to come.

You have a range of emotions, some even conflicting.

Worry, fear, excitement. It is normal to feel all the things.

I am constantly seeing and celebrating you through the ebbs and flows of life.

I use my gifts to adjust to you and personalize my approach according to your needs in the moment.

More about me

My name is Jeremy, I’m 31 years old.

• I majored in Early Childhood Education, Minoring in Special Education.
  
• I have over 10 years of experience in the childcare and education realm.
• Have experience working in preschools and in an elementary school.
• I served two years with Americorps in Seattle tutoring English and Math ​and led an After School program for school age students.
• My last role teaching was at a preschool in South San Francisco working as ​an Infant/Toddler Teacher.

The slowing down that was asked of us during the pandemic initiated a lot of ​change within me. I realized I was seeking more meaningful connections ​within my community. It feels in line to be working with families side by side ​as they grow. The support I offer is based on getting to know you, seeing you, ​and using that information as a guide to see you forward.
