Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
Married to my high school sweetheart and a proud mom of three. I love all things health, nutrition, and fitness. You can often find me hiking, exploring nature, and staying active with my family.
As a mom of three, I deeply understand the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that come with the postpartum journey. Navigating recovery while trying to care for a new baby (or babies!) can feel overwhelming and isolating. My passion for health and fitness fuels my mission to support and empower women during this sacred season—helping them rebuild strength, confidence, and a sense of self from the inside out. You’re not alone, and I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
Married for 5 years with three kids Norah (almost 3) and twin boys, Kip and Hank (almost 1). I love to bake (when time allows), be outside with my family, and would like to think I have a green thumb but I am still working on this skill/hobby (maybe one day!!)
I’m deeply passionate about supporting postpartum moms because I know how overwhelming and isolating this season can be—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Too often, mothers are expected to bounce back without adequate support or understanding. I believe every mom deserves compassionate, personalized care that honors her body’s healing process and nurtures her whole self. I love helping moms feel seen, supported, and empowered during this fragile time!

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
Wife to my husband, Galen, and mama to 3 young boys - Remy (6), Roman (4), Louis (14mo) and our 100+ lb dog, Mairo! I enjoy reading, being outdoors, gardening, hiking, traveling and playing sports with my boys!
Because I am her. I’ve lived the sleepless nights, the identity shifts, the hormonal chaos, and the silent suffering that so often gets brushed off as “normal.” Too many moms are told to accept fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, pain, and disconnect from their bodies as just part of motherhood. But I believe women deserve to thrive in this season, not just push through it. Supporting postpartum recovery means validating women’s symptoms, uncovering the root causes, restoring their health, and reminding them that they are worthy of care too. It’s not just about physical healing — it’s about empowering women to feel strong, whole, and like themselves again. This work is deeply personal.

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
I'm married to my husband and we live in Indiana with our 3 children and 3 dogs. I enjoy spending time with family and being outside in nature.
I love helping postpartum moms because I understand how deeply transformative—and at times overwhelming—this season of life can be. Supporting new mothers through their physical recovery, emotional shifts, and the journey into their new identity is incredibly meaningful to me. I believe every mom deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered as she navigates the postpartum period, and it's an honor to walk alongside them during such a tender and powerful time.

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
I’m a mom of two (a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son), born and raised in Wyoming, and married to my best friend and husband of nearly ten years. When I’m not seeing clients, you can find me curling up with a good book or getting outside with my family either playing in the backyard, walks or getting to the mountains. I love exploring farmer’s markets, spending time with my family, and always have a podcast or audiobook playing while I cook.
Even with a background in health and wellness, I faced unexpected struggles during my own postpartum journeys — exhaustion, nutrient depletion, and feeling disconnected from myself. That experience opened my eyes to how many moms are silently navigating the same challenges without enough support. Now, I’m passionate about helping women recover, rebuild, and feel strong, nourished, and empowered in motherhood. My mission is to guide moms with realistic, sustainable solutions so they can thrive in both their bodies and their lives — and to help them learn how to nourish not just their bodies, but their souls as well.

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
Wife to Kellen, mother of Jay (5) and Addie (1)
I enjoy learning more about helping others through nutrition and lifestyle, doing art, walking in nature, and spending time with my husband and children.
When I became a mother, I quickly realized how difficult it was to feel like I was taking care of myself and my family in a way that provided everyone with what they needed. I wasn't feeling my best and now I needed to care for my sweet babies that needed my best. I set out on a mission to learn as much as I could to help nourish myself and my family in a way that felt doable in this stage of life and also provided the best chance to give us all what we needed to thrive optimally. I am so thankful to do this for my family and I want to help other moms to the same!

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
When I am not counseling mothers on how food affects their bodies, I am chasing around my three biggest blessings, Elias, Logan Grace, and Avery. The Lord continues to show me grace as my husband Kyle, and I navigate this season of life we are in. Although this sounds crazy, running is my outlet, and one of my many forms of self care. Teaching my children to treat our bodies with kindness, and nourish it with love is something I will never take for granted!
Nutrition has always been a passion of mine. As a D1 cross country/track and field athlete at Purdue University, I was always focused on nourishing my body to compete at its best. After college, and after my first baby, I decided to pursue a Master's degree in Human Nutrition, focusing on maternal and infant nutrition. I realized the utmost importance of food as healing in the postpartum period.

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
I’ve been with my husband Matt for 20 years and we’ve been married 13 of those. My oldest son Chase just turned 11, my daughter Collins is 7 (almost 8), and my rainbow baby Cooper is 2 (almost 3). We have a 2 year old golden retriever puppy named Carl. I enjoy reading, love watching my favorite TV shows (any documentary!), listening to music (country is my favorite ), and riding my Peloton bike.
I’ve been a Registered Nurse for 13.5 years. I currently work in the NICU here in Indianapolis as well as Postpartum Care USA. I lost a baby before I had Cooper; it was one of the most traumatic and awful things I ever went through - compounded by lack of support or empathy, especially from my OB office. I swore to myself that I would try to find a way to support even one mom going through a bereavement postpartum and PPCU found me.
I truly love the holistic aspect of our clinic because I feel it’s so much more than physical care you must return to yourself postpartum.

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for almost eight years. We have two children, our son who is 3 years old and our daughter who is twenty months old. They bring us so much joy!
After being a postpartum nurse for over nine years in the hospital setting and then having my first child, I was able to truly understand how isolated and vulnerable postpartum life can be. I experienced things like postpartum anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, among other things that made it feel almost impossible to be able to enjoy my beautiful newborn baby boy. At the time I felt like no one could understand. Now I know that how I felt is all too common but not at all normal! Being a mama is the best gift and every single mother deserves to feel her best in order to enjoy life to the fullest!

Why I'm Passionate About Helping Postpartum Women Recover:
My husband and I have 3 kids - 11yrs, 6yrs, and 3yrs old. I enjoy going on walks outside, reading books, watching shows with my husband.
I'm passionate about helping postpartum women recover because I’ve lived through the struggle myself. After giving birth, I experienced intense symptoms that deeply affected my well-being. I reached out for help, only to be told my lab results were “normal” and left without real support. That experience made me feel like I was the problem, simply because there was no clear medical solution. I was left feeling overwhelmed, defeated, and completely alone in my struggle. That’s why I’m so passionate about ensuring every mom feels truly seen, supported, and empowered to heal. Our children grow so quickly, and every mom deserves to feel her best so she can fully enjoy those fleeting moments with them. I’ve found healing, and I want other moms to know they can too—there’s hope, and they’re not alone.
