You do not have to carry this alone.
Becoming a parent can hold joy and grief in the same breath. Twin Roots is a safe, grounded space for the pregnancy and postpartum season, for NICU and loss, and for the tender work of finding yourself again.

A little about me
I found my way through this season too.
My work is shaped by my own story. I am a mother of twins who spent time in the NICU, and a survivor of postpartum depression. I know this terrain from the inside.
That is why the perinatal season is the heart of my work. Whether you are anxious in pregnancy, sitting beside an incubator, grieving a loss, or simply not feeling like yourself, you deserve to be met with real understanding.

Care that starts with being understood.

No performing, no pretending you are fine. Just an honest place to set things down.
Practical and compassionate
Real tools for real days, paired with the warmth that makes them possible to use.
Reaching out is the first root you put down.
