registered dietitian & doula support
In a society where the busier you are the better and the more stressed out you are, the more you do ALL THE THINGS yourself... It seems daunting realizing you need help.
Mama, I'm here to tell you that calling a relative, texting a friend, or hiring a doula... asking for help is an act of courage.
We weren't meant to do this motherhood thing alone.
Read that again.
Vulnerability is courage.
hey boo, let me drop some truth bombs on you real quick.

why you need a dietitian as your doula
Before PND I was really into crafting, but now I'm focused on honing my craft as a doula.
I used to be #teamtoomuch when it came to parties ("why be basic when you can be bougie")
but since COVID I've realized how precious the simple family dinner is and have enjoyed smaller gatherings.
