My Story
The Dancing Into Parenthood Digital Program was created by me as a way to heal my own trauma from a bad marriage which resulted in a divorce. My trauma as a new mom, feeling unsupported by her partner and dealing with post partum depression which was never diagnosed because I pretended to be able to handle it all. I wanted so badly to have the perfect marriage and family that I smiled through all the tears and was afraid to admit that I needed help.
I never want any parent to have to live through such an ordeal. Let me support you and guide you so that you don't make the same mistakes I made. For me it was cultural wounds that made me believe that as a woman, as a wife and as a mother, I had to do it all and please everyone. I felt even more pressure being a Pediatrician and a mom. It felt so overwhelming and I didn't want anyone to know because I was ashamed to feel like I couldn't handle this new life. I portrayed the perfect family life and no one knew how lonely it all felt for me. I lost myself somewhere through it all and one day woke up not knowing who I was anymore.
That carefree fun loving girl was gone and I missed her, I could remember who she was but it felt like lifetimes had passed. In the daze of the lack of sleep, breastfeeding on demand and the shift of hormones it was hard to see that somewhere inside she was still alive. One day I woke up again and here I am now in my power. I am ready and I am strong and it's my turn to help others. My vision is to empower, inspire and support parents in their new journey so that they can enjoy their baby and being a couple. To grow your family empire in your truth. To assist parents in further growing their love and respect for one another, while they learn to figure out what parenthood will look like for themselves.
As a child advocate I want babies to have parents that are ready to deal with the challenges of parenthood in a healthy manner. This will allow for the optimal growth and development of your baby. Emotionally secured parents raise emotionally intelligent babies. Emotionally intelligent babies grow into successful adults.
