Founder Story

Mom of 3, chronic list maker, emotional support stuffy carrier, and the person who will absolutely notice if you haven't eaten today.

I created The Village Parent Community because I learned the hard way that motherhood can be both beautiful and brutally isolating, sometimes in the very same moment. I've been the mom who feels on top of the world, the mom who is drowning quietly, and the mom crying in the shower wondering why this feels so much harder than anyone warned her. 

I don't believe parents are meant to "power through". I believe we're meant to be held, supported, and reminded that we are human; not machines built to run on caffeine and mom guilt. 

I'm the friend who shows up with a plan and compassion. The one who notices the chaos, gently brings order, and does it without judgment or unrealistic expectations. I care deeply about the details because the little things are often what make parents feel seen again. 

This community was built for the parents who don't have a support system. For the ones who are everyone else's rock. For the moms who love their kids with their whole heart, but secretly fantasize about silence and just 5 minutes alone. 

I didn't want to create another place full of advice, pressure, or unrealistic expectations. I wanted to build something real. 

Support that shows up, notices the small things, and makes parents feel human again. 

Here, we're honest. We're tired. We're trying. We are allowed to be slightly feral and still deeply loving parents. We believe support should feel warm, personal and real. Not Clinical, cold or cookie cutter. 

You don't need to have it all together to be here. 

You just need to show up as you are. 

I'll meet you there

(Why I get it)

My approach to supporting parents is shaped by both training and lived experience. 

I have attended doula training, because I thought that was the path I wanted to take. Turns out I wanted to do more than that to help families. I feel parenthood and the struggles within, don't stop after the fourth trimester. 

I breastfed all three of my children to different ages. I've experienced the struggles that come with "inadequate weight gain" Latching issues, feeding issues, lip tie revisions, and exclusively pumping. All the emotional weight that often comes with infant feeding, especially when it does not go the way you expected. 

I am also a childhood cancer survivor, and my second child experienced unexplained liver failure when she was 10 months old. I understand the reality of parenting within medical systems. The appointments, the fear, the exhaustion, and the quiet resilience it requires. I hold deep empathy for families navigating medical needs, both visible and invisible. 

I have navigated the roller coaster of Infertility. Navigating years of failed attempts to get pregnant, and finally needing to use IVF for two of my babies. I am extremely familiar with the strain fertility treatments put on a family, and on you as an individual. I am here to help you through with compassion and a steady hand. Celebrating your wins and holding you through the bumps. If you are on that ride, I promise, you got this.

Our family has experienced loss, including multiple miscarriages at various stages of pregnancy. I know how deeply grief can live in the body, and how isolating it can feel when the world expects you to move forward before you are ready. This is a space where those experiences are honored, not rushed or minimized.

My oldest child struggles significantly with sensory processing challenges, giving me firsthand experience with overstimulation, regulation struggles, and how deeply a child's nervous system can impact daily life. I support families with patience, flexibility and understanding, not rigid expectations. 

Outside of titles and experience, I show up for the moms in my life. I clean houses, prep meals, jump in where I'm needed, and help without keeping score. That's how I love people, and that's the foundation of this community. 

Support here is warm, human, and deeply personal.

 A little chaotic, 

and rooted in understanding.
