Grief coaching for women pregnant again after loss.

You're holding two things at once.
And nobody told you that was allowed.

You wanted this baby. You're terrified something will go wrong again. You're grateful and scared and exhausted and trying to feel joy while quietly falling apart between appointments. You're not broken. You're doing something incredibly hard — and you deserve someone in your corner for all of it.

"I feel like a fraud. I give a leadership talk and then go cry in my car."

The Performance Tax — using 90% of your mental bandwidth to pretend you're okay, leaving almost nothing for the life you've built.

"We're in the same house but worlds apart. He goes quiet. I need to talk."

The Quiet Floors — the silence that settles into a home after loss. You're both hurting but you've stopped saying so out loud.

"Everyone says 'just try again.' But this baby wasn't a practice run."

The Rainbow Baby Pressure Loop — the frantic push to replace before you've had space to grieve what was actually lost.

"If one more person says 'at least you know you can get pregnant'..."

Platitude Fatigue — the exhaustion of translating your pain into something others can digest. You deserve a space that gets it.

"I don't recognize the woman in the mirror who cries in the shower."

Body Betrayal — the resentment toward your physical self when grief takes root in your body, your sleep, your focus.

"It's been six months. Everyone stopped checking in. But I'm still here."

Secondary Shame — feeling guilty for still being sad when the world has moved on. Your timeline is yours. Full stop.

How I show up for you

I don't show up with a clipboard and a six-step plan. I sit with you first. But when you're ready for structure — for language to name what you're carrying and tools to get through the hard days — the W.H.O.L.D. Method™ is the framework underneath everything we do together.

W
Witness the Truth
"Shame dies when spoken in a safe place."
We strip the "I'm fine" mask. We name the anger, the envy, the body betrayal — without judgment. Shame dies when we speak the truth out loud.
H
Honest Advocacy
"You don't owe anyone an explanation tax."
We build your Safety Scripts and non-negotiable boundaries. You stop leaking energy explaining your pain to people who aren't equipped to hold it.
O
Organize the Connection
"His silence isn't absence — it's a different dialect."
Mismatched Grief Mapping and the 10-Minute Check-In. We turn the Quiet Floors back into a sanctuary. Your home becomes a team again.
L
Living While Grieving
"Joy is not a betrayal. It is a tribute."
We tear up the Waiting Room contract. You can hold your loss in one hand and your business win in the other. One doesn't cancel out the other.
K
Kindle the Kindness
"Moving from self-loathing to self-stewardship."
We negotiate a peace treaty with your body. Your body didn't fail — it carried a heavy history. We move from Body Betrayal to Body Stewardship.
D
Deep Integration
"You are not the miscarriage story."
We weave your loss into the tapestry of who you are. You emerge not defined by the loss, but as a woman of Gentle Strength — carrying it comfortably.

Real words,
coming soon.

[Client testimonials will appear here — real words from real women, shared with permission. When you're ready to share yours, I'd be honored to hold it.]

When words fail you,
borrow mine.

Seven ready-to-use phrases for the hard moments — the "when are you due?" at a family gathering, the co-worker who doesn't know, the well-meaning friend who says the wrong thing. No rehearsing required. Just real words for real moments.

✦ Safety Scripts (7 ready-to-use)

You're just constantly holding your breath
till you can see your baby again.

Your loss is a thread in your tapestry, not a hole in your soul. Welcome home to a space where you can put the mask down.

I didn't set out to be
a grief coach.
Grief set out to find me.

Certified VITA Coach · Pregnancy Loss Grief Coach · Founder of Still Carrying

I've lived it. Every last part of it.

I lost my first pregnancy. Then I carried three more — terrified, holding my breath between every scan, Googling symptoms at 2am, trying to feel joy while grief sat right beside it. I know what it's like to love a baby you're scared to love too much, just in case.

I've also been through the NICU. I lost my mom the year after my firstborn was born. I still grieve my first baby today. Grief has been my companion through many seasons — and what I've learned is that it doesn't need to be managed or outrun. It needs a place to sit.

Before I became a grief coach, I was a medical assistant and a caregiver in elderly homes, Alzheimer's and dementia facilities, and rehab. I know what it means to show up for someone on their hardest day. I've sat with people in their most vulnerable moments my whole life.

That's what I'm here to do for you. Not fix you. Not give you a roadmap out of grief. Just sit with you — through every scan, every fear, every moment you don't know how to feel — so you never have to go through it alone.

"I just want to sit there with the women. I don't want to fix anything. My job is done when that woman doesn't feel so alone — when she feels like she was heard."

Still Carrying — Founder

The "homemade cookie" of support —
soft, warm, and always honest.

I'm not here to be your therapist, and I'm not here to give you a five-point plan. I'm here to sit with you — to listen to the things you're afraid to say out loud — and when you're ready, to help you find the words and the tools that make the hard days a little more livable.

🌿

I Sit With You First

No agenda when you walk in. I listen first. The tools and the words come later — when you're ready for them, not before.

🕊

No Fixing. No Promises.

I will never promise you an outcome. I won't tell you everything will be fine. I'll just be honest with you — and I'll stay in it with you, whatever happens.

⚓

Grief and Hope Together

You're allowed to love this baby and grieve the last one. Both are real. Both belong. You don't have to choose — and here, you never will.

You don't have to figure out the first step.

Just reach out. A free 15-minute conversation — no pressure, no pitch. Let's figure it out together.

You don't have to go
through this pregnancy
alone.

Whether you need a place to belong or someone fully in your corner — there's a place for you here.

Every pregnancy after loss
is its own kind of courage.

You might be weeks in and terrified. You might be further along and still holding your breath. Wherever you are — there is a place for you here, and you don't have to explain yourself to belong.
