I’m a certified 200-hour yoga teacher, Reiki Master practitioner, and mom of two beautiful girls. After over five years of experience in my field, I pressed pause to be a stay-at-home mom—and it became one of the most transformative seasons of my life. Moving through postpartum without a close-by village gave me a deep appreciation for the world of birth and mother care. From that tender place, The Rooted Return blossomed—a space where postpartum mothers never have to feel alone and birth workers are held, so they don’t have to pour from an empty cup.
