Hope is a thing with feathers

That perches in the Soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all.

~ Emily Dickinson

Offering personalized guidance for intended parents* through the surrogacy process, from dream to reality.

Why i do this work

I’ve walked the journey to parenthood through surrogacy myself, and I know how isolating, stressful and overwhelming this process can be. Many times, I lost hope.

My mission is to ensure that no one feels like they have to go through this alone. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way, offering my expertise, empathy, and practical guidance to help you find hope and peace in the process of creating your family.

What Makes My Services Unique:

  • Therapeutic Skills: As a coach, I can help you navigate complex emotions and relationship dynamics, set concrete goals, and feel supported no matter what arises on your journey.

  • Holistic Support: I can incorporate meditation, visualization, and mindful movement to help you manage stress, grief, and uncertainty through each phase.

*Intended parents are people who want to raise a child but are unable to conceive on their own. They may become the legal parents of a child through a process called gestational surrogacy, where another person carries and delivers the child.

did you know…

Matrescence and patrescence refer to the profound transitions a woman and man undergo when becoming a mother and father, respectively. These terms recognize that the shift into parenthood is not just a physical or logistical change, but also a deep psychological, emotional, and social transformation.

Matrescence, coined by anthropologist Dana Raphael, parallels adolescence, highlighting the identity shift women experience as they move into motherhood. It involves navigating new roles, societal expectations, and the emotional complexities of bonding with a child while also managing feelings like loss of autonomy, changes in relationships, and the pressure to meet ideals of perfect motherhood.

Patrescence, though less commonly discussed, describes the father’s journey into parenthood. Like matrescence, it involves balancing newfound responsibilities, emotional challenges, and changes in identity and relationships. Fathers often experience shifts in how they see themselves, their partners, and their role in the family.

Both terms acknowledge that becoming a parent is a developmental process, full of both joy and struggle, as individuals adjust to their new realities. Understanding matrescence and patrescence helps to normalize the complex emotions parents face during this life stage.
