About

MOM2MOMS APOTHECARY, LLC provides support, empowerment and education to women navigating preconception, pregnancy, gestational complications, postpartum recovery, and motherhood. When mothers receive clear, evidence-based information, individualized care, and real support, they are better equipped to care for themselves and, by extension, their families.

I promote a patient-centered, proactive model that moves beyond the typical reactive framework, focusing on prevention, early intervention, and individualized advocacy plans. By educating both patients and providers, I aim to create continuity of care that improves adherence and drives better health outcomes.

Join the Mom2Moms Community to receive compassionate support from a fellow mother, maternal health coach, pharmacist, and functional medicine specialist committed to catalyzing meaningful maternal health transformations that enrich the lives of women and families.

When experience leads you to your purpose and passion

I am a wife, mother of two children and a golden retriever, an integrative and functional pharmacist, and maternal health coach and advocate. I founded Mom2Moms Apothecary, LLC fueled by my personal pregnancy and postpartum experiences which has transformed both my personal and professional life. After experiencing miscarriages, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, postpartum anxiety and PTSD that conventional healthcare approaches couldn't adequately address, I found myself searching for answers. Despite having access to multiple healthcare professionals and understanding the role medications play in treatment, I felt these treatments were merely bandages rather than solutions to the root causes of my symptoms. Applying functional medicine principles and nervous system regulating techniques to transform my own health postpartum ignited a passion and a mission for me to apply these principles to maternal health and gestational complications to help other women walking down the same path.

Through years of research, education, trainings, and personal experience, I’ve learned how to combine traditional care with functional medicine principles, food as medicine approaches, genetics and nervous system healing to deliver personalized effective care for women at risk of, experiencing, or recovering from gestational complications. My whole-person, root cause approach combined with personalized data and practical coaching, helps mothers thrive instead of merely survive.
