Hi, I’m Shanny!

In 2017 I began my journey into motherhood, but it wasn’t the journey I envisioned. I thought it would be easy. I thought I’d be good at it. I thought I would be supported and nurtured, and I didn’t know I’d have to advocate so hard for my health and wellness.

It was through this experience that I learned how important the maternal-infant relationship is and all of the factors, like mental health, societal expectations, relationships, lack of training and awareness, feeding, and infant sleep, that inadvertently disrupt this relationship but often aren’t considered by professionals working with this population.

I am fiercely passionate about supporting families during the early years, and I am committed to providing a space where parents can feel supported.
