I’m here to help you feel strong, confident, and excited through every stage of pregnancy and beyond. Once upon a time, I was an expecting mom trying to piece together all the advice out there — but now, I’m the go-to coach for women who want a healthy, joyful pregnancy without the stress or second-guessing. Let me show you how empowering this journey can be!
i've been right where you are...
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was thrilled and ready to give my baby the healthiest start possible.
I wanted to feel great, enjoy the process, and make choices that would help both of us thrive.
I quickly realized that while there was plenty of advice out there, what I really needed was simple, trustworthy guidance that helped me take control of what mattered most — my lifestyle, nutrition, mindset, and movement.
I built the Baby Bump Meals website during midnight feedings and somehow managed to launch it the week before I returned to work. I was blown away by the response — so many women were signing up for my meal plans that I could hardly keep up!
But between running the website, caring for a new baby, and juggling a full-time job for three years, I eventually made the hard decision to take the site down. Even though I moved on, the idea of helping pregnant women with their health and wellness never left my heart.
A few years ago, I felt a strong urge to pick up where I left off — this time with a more holistic approach. I wanted to help women not just with their nutrition, but with every aspect of preparing their bodies, minds, and lives for motherhood. So I went back to school, became a certified prenatal and postnatal health and wellness coach, and launched The Baby Bump Coach.
Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. -Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)
