My journey to recovery started in 2017. I had just moved back to the United States from South Africa and was starting a Masters in Public Health. I had hit an all time low with my eating disorder and felt like a fraud because I knew I was not healthy. Once I started my Masters program I was connected with a therapist that helped me find words for what I had been hiding and struggling with for 8 years. I could never say the word eating disorder out loud before, much less admit that I had one.
I went on to finish my Masters in Public Health with a much healthier mind and body. I continued on to get a PhD in behavioral social science. I then got married and had my first child in 2024. While I was so excited to be pregnant, I was also filled with anxiety about my body changing and if I could actually do it and be healthy.
I had a healthy pregnancy and a c-section delivery. The postpartum period was hard and I found myself wishing I had a support system to help me through the transitional period. I experienced disordered thoughts, mood swings, while also being elated and fully in love with my baby.
My focus has come back again and again to health, rather than disordered eating and disordered thoughts. Health is holistic - mental, physical, and emotional health are all interconnected. Let me help you move towards health in your pregnancy and postpartum journey without judgement or shame.

We will have an introduction call to explore your goals and if this is the right approach for you. If you decide to move forward, I offer 5 one hour coaching sessions for $500 or 10 coaching sessions for $1000.
Coaching can be done virtually or in person where applicable as I live in Charlotte, NC. I can help you find creative solutions rooted in behavioral science to be a healthier Mom, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I use a person centered approach and believe that there is not one-size-fits-all to recovery or wellness.

How Does Coaching Differ from Therapy?
While both coaching and therapy can involve guiding individuals towards personal growth, the key difference is that coaching primarily focuses on helping people achieve focused, specific goals rooted in the present, while therapy delves deeper into past experiences and emotional issues to treat menta
How Does Coaching Differ from Therapy?
While both coaching and therapy can involve guiding individuals towards personal growth, the key difference is that coaching primarily focuses on helping people achieve focused, specific goals rooted in the present, while therapy delves deeper into past experiences and emotional issues to treat mental health conditions. Coaching is future-oriented, while therapy is often more past-focused, with therapists being qualified to diagnose and treat mental health disorders, which coaches typically are not.

My Story
I started The Happy Holistic Mom with a simple goal in mind: to provide wellness coaching and emotional support for pregnant women and new Mom's who have a history of disordered eating. I found myself needing some targeted coaching at different time points in my journey through pregnancy and postpartum. As someone who has been in recovery from disordered eating, with a background in public health, behavioral science, and wellness coaching, I believe I can help other mothers and mothers-to-be in this both special and sometimes challenging time.
