Don't wait as long as I did to ask for help on this difficult journey!
I was preparing for my 4th IVF egg retrieval and 1st embryo transfer when I started working with Jessica.
She addressed my social-emotional health needs at a time when I'd experienced a prolonged feeling of being disconnected from and frustrated with my body, and she did so in a judgment-free, safe, compassionate space.
Although my main focus was life balance and improving physical function, Jessica helped me regain my confidence, my life, myself, and my purpose! Her expertise in maternal health, knowledge of how various health conditions impact function, professionalism, passion to help me succeed, and ability to empathize while also setting attainable goals were unparalleled.
Best time, effort, and money I have spent!

At 6 months old we found out releasing our baby's tongue tie might be the key to some of the issues we were dealing with.
I was stressed, needed a professional second opinion and guidance to handle the situation. I worked with Jessica and she made a lot of difference in our lives. I am very happy I reached out!
Baby's tie release was less stressful, we got a lot of support around eating solids and straw-drinking.
Improvements on baby's sleep, my own mental health, and confidence in my decisions are among the successes I can name as a result of working with Jessica.

I didn’t realize before meeting with Jessica that I didn’t include myself in my postpartum care plan.
It’s easy to put the baby first, but I wasn’t on the list at all.
I am so grateful for Jessica!

There isn’t a lot of big picture postpartum support.
I had never even heard of it before, honestly.
The minute I saw the website I was like, yeah, let's do this.”
