It's just better to get straight to the point. I created this website to share a lot of information for you, things like blogs about feeling less stressed, or how to share difficult information, the adventures I capture to inspire, and the experiences I'm having so you know you're not alone. If you want to read about me, you can find that here. But really, the main reason I made this space was to talk about what I can do for you...and in return what you can do for me.
. our story .I want to be a mother and my husband wants to be a father, but life doesn't seem to be making that possible for us. We started trying in June 2017 and by September 2018, we were both diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Nothing obvious seems to be getting in our way; both Brian and I are "extremely" healthy according to our doctors, but for whatever reason, it just isn't happening.

We were recommended by our Reproductive Endocrinologist to pay for 3 rounds of IUI (intrauterine insemination)...just a fancy way to say the "turkey baster" method, which cost us roughly about $2,100 out of pocket since our insurance doesn't cover any procedures. Thankfully, we saved/budgeted for this expense hopeful that 1 of them would work, however, all 3 rounds failed and we found ourselves up against the financial mountain of IVF. We knew right away that we simply couldn't afford this option on our own at this point in our lives without taking on a large amount of debt with no guarantees of success.
I know that the struggle to conceive isn't common, but also not that uncommon when looking at the big picture of the world. That's why we refuse to do things like start a Go Fund Me page, put it on a credit card, or ask for hand outs from friends and family. Instead, we want to put the work in and use our resources. Between budgeting, applying for infertility grants (yes, apparently they're a thing), waiting for the "right time," and having lengthy conversations with our reproductive endocrinologist, insurance provider, and financial advisors, I made the decision to utilize my skills as a coach with the hope that it will help us reach our family goals.
. what can i do for you .
infertility coaching
You have goals and if you're here, one of them probably has to do with a baby. You might be in my boat or just starting out. You may already have a baby but adding another isn't coming as easily as the first. You might be a friend or family member of someone struggling to have a baby. Regardless of your story, you want to be the best version of yourself before, during, and after the process.
I can help you do that.
Over the years, I have worked with clients as they went after their next great adventure. By personalizing each session to their story and needs, I've supported them in making huge changes in areas of perspective, health, careers, and relationships. I was open to anyone looking for support, but this time I'm focusing only on women who are experiencing infertility.
There's a twist...
Infertility is unpredictable and often very expensive. I can't possibly afford all of my procedures on my own, and you're likely in a similar position. Most of us can't just drop hundreds of dollars on a coaching package or program right now because our money is going to other necessary things.
I see you needing support in your journey and I can make that happen in a way that you support me in mine, too.
Here's how it works:
No coaching packages or contracts
You set the price per session
This is a Pay-What-You-Can coaching model that consists of 45-minutes in a 1-on-1 session with the full transparency that your contribution will go directly to the out-of-pocket costs ( $5,000 - $10,000) for us to move forward with IVF in the next year and I will support you with high-quality infertility coaching in every session.
Period.
I can help you do that.

I hope our story inspires you and that our adventure inspires your next one.
with light + adventure,
