Hi, I’m Kristy.
I obtained my Masters in Social work in 2018 and have been working with individuals in a number of capacities since. However, after giving birth to my son in 2020 and experiencing severe postpartum depression I have dedicated my work to supporting other mother’s through postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. I have had my certification in Perinatal Mental Health from Postpartum Support International since 2021. Although I continue to provide clinical mental health services to mother’s and families this coaching business is separate and intended to educate expecting families on the postpartum period and supporting them in adequately preparing for it. (see the coaching vs counseling page for more information) My hope is that this program will aid in preventing mood and anxiety disorders from occurring or in better preparing families in the case that they do occur.
Additionally, I became interested in herbal supports in 2022 and obtained a certificate in Foundations of Christian Herbalism in 2023 through the School of Christian Herbalism. Through this program I learned more about the way herbs have been, and still are, used to support overall health including perinatal period. As a result, I believe in the benefits of incorporating herbal supplements to support mother’s thought out the perinatal period. I have partnered with local and national herbal companies to help you identify herbal remedies that you may decide to utilize.
