It’s been quiet here for a while, and I’ve gone back and forth about what to say when I returned.
After a long journey through IVF, we welcomed our daughter, Hannah—the baby we waited and hoped for so deeply. Our rainbow baby was born in November of last year after so many tears and prayers. Becoming her mom has brought more joy than I can put into words. It has also been a much more complicated transition than I expected.
Postpartum has held beautiful moments, but it has also been hard. I’ve needed time to adjust, recover, and find my footing in a version of life that feels both completely new and incredibly precious.
Deciding whether—and when—to return to work hasn’t been easy. I love being Hannah’s mom, and stepping away from her is difficult. At the same time, I’ve missed the work that has meant so much to me: supporting children, helping parents better understand their child, and walking alongside families through challenges with communication, feeding, and development.
Both things are true. I want to be present for this season with Hannah, and I still feel called to help families.
So I’m slowly finding my way back.
For those who are new here, I’m a pediatric speech-language pathologist, feeding therapist, and MNRI® Core Specialist. My work brings together communication, feeding, sensory-motor development, and reflex patterns while always keeping the individual child and family at the center.
I’ll be sharing more soon about what returning to practice will look like, along with the speech, feeding, and MNRI topics that I hope will support families here.
If you’ve been part of this community before, thank you for still being here. I’d truly love to reconnect. 🤍
