HELLO, I AM MEGHAN!
I am a mother of three young ones, and an experienced educator of over 20 years. After spending the first part of my career in the classroom and in school leadership roles - motherhood brought to me a new calling… supporting other mothers during this beautiful and demanding time.
All three of my births have been out of my home country, leaving me with the challenge of navigating a new system, in a language and culture other than my own. I’ve had to be resourceful to discover help that is available to me, and to build a community around me that will lift me up when mothering gets hard.
A fresh take on the postpartum time
My first two children were born in Germany, where care around pregnancy is very midwife centered. Pregnant mothers have the right to see midwives throughout their pregnancies, and to home visits by a midwife in the first weeks after birth. I found this incredible - the knowledge these women carried on through their daily work, and simple secrets for health and healing that seemed so obvious, but yet I had never heard before.
This experience, ignited a flame to carry this work onwards, to workalongside newborn mothers as they rest and heal, and to educate their families about the importance of this time.
