7 months of Elosqueezy, Eloweezy, our Eloise. Our girl is almost on the move and eating up a storm. She has perfect posture and everything has to be inspected by her mouth. She hasn’t found a music class or ball pit she doesn’t love. We love our girl more and more each day! 🩷✨

Happy birthday to my favorite person. Loving you has always been easy, but watching you become a father has expanded my heart in ways I didn’t know were possible.
You are the partner, friend, and human everyone hopes to have in their corner—and I’m so lucky you’re mine.
HBD, my love. I love celebrating you 🫶🥳🙌
My favorite sound lately 🫶✨
Back to work. Different body. Deeper purpose.
There’s something tender about returning to your passion after your body has created life. Working with people to understand their pain, their bodies, and what healing can actually feel like has always mattered to me—but experiencing pregnancy and postpartum in my own body changed everything. I now understand, on a cellular level, the limitations, adaptations, and resilience required when you bring a child into the world. And because of that, I feel more equipped than ever to support women through this season. Motherhood didn’t pull me away from my work—it deepened how I show up for it.
If you’re in a transitional chapter—postpartum, healing, navigating pain, or reconnecting to your body—I’m your girl. I’d love to work with you. Here’s to the next chapter ✨

4 months with our Eloise. Our perfect baby is sleeping through the night, waking up with laughs and smiles, and loves taking in NYC. Everyday gets better and better. We’re so amazed she picked us to be her parents 🥰✨

👋 I’m a mom.
It’s taken me a few months to find words for it all, but reflection feels important.
The fourth trimester is intense, transformative, and multifaceted-
Physically: healing and adapting.
Mentally: learning and reorienting.
Emotionally: processing joy, grief, and attachment.
Spiritually: finding meaning, connection, and presence.
I’ve given myself permission to feel messy, exhausted, joyful, anxious, and grateful all at once. Support, rest, and self-compassion have been my anchors.
I’ve felt everything from deep joy to heavy sadness and anxiety but with support, I’ve learned I’m not alone. Life lately has been about navigating this brand-new everyday life that’s only been mine for three months.
I still find it wild that you go through surgery, then go home to care for a baby and, if you’re willing, keep that baby alive with your own body. How could it not be hard? But hard is something women know how to do. This process has made me appreciate being a woman more than ever and be in awe of the mothers who walk beside me.
As for my transitioning body, I’ve learned to give myself grace - grace for not seeing changes, grace for breastfeeding, and grace not to compare. I read, “Think of your body like a house under renovation — every part is adjusting and needs care.” I love that. A demolition has occurred, and rebuilding takes time. Eventually, the house will feel like home again.
As a manual therapist, I’ve never felt more foreign in my skin yet more attuned to its whispers. I’m learning to listen.
You’re not lost.
You’re just standing in the space between who you were and who you’re becoming.
I’m cherishing this sacred in-between. I’m a woman. I’m a mom. There’s nothing I can’t do. 🤍
