Yes. When someone you love experiences pregnancy loss, infertility, or reproductive challenges, it can be hard to know how to help. I offer gentle, non-judgmental support for friends, partners, and family members who want to show up with care while also tending to their own experience. When scheduling, please select the Friends & Family option. If you’re unsure what kind of support is best for you, you’re also welcome to schedule a free 30-minute consultation.
