Loving Moms Through Loss
My Story
On April 20th, 2019 I was 22 weeks and one day pregnant with my son Leo when I delivered him in the Emergency Department at a local hospital. While my husband and I thought what happened to me was a miscarriage, we learned that our baby was actually alive. He was intubated and whisked off to the NICU while I was taken to the Mother Baby Unit for postpartum care.
Fast-forward 13 exhausting but love-filled days in the NICU (where we received the best care from the most incredible people), Leo died in our arms late in the night on May 3rd.
What followed was the most painful experience I never thought I would have to go through. Lactation suppression, postpartum healing, burying and grieving my baby. It was unbearable. But through it all I felt a calling to get back on my yoga mat.
It turned out to be my salvation.
In the time since his death, I have received my 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training, my Pre and Postnatal training, and my Trauma Recovery Yoga Teacher Training, all so that I can bring you this.
