  • I became a mother in January 2020 when I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. It was a transformational experience to say the least. I often think to myself, “ If only I knew then what I know now”. What if I had the guidance of a wise woman who had been through it and out the other side to share with me the truth about birth?

    My pregnancy, birth and postpartum the first time around was riddled with complications and trauma, which I believe was largely due to my involvement with the medical system. 

    Since then I was set on a path to discover what was missing and how to achieve the pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience I desired.

    After conceiving my second child, I chose a wild pregnancy and free birth. With the mentorship of wise women, I learned how to take full responsibility for my choices, fully feel and face my fears, properly assess risk and safety, and tune into my inner knowing. This is the spiritual growth a pregnancy outside the system can allow for if desired.

    Your dream birth is available to you if you choose it.

    Are you making decisions that feel aligned with your values? Are you ready to actualize you dream birth?

    I am here to support and witness you through 1:1 coaching (in person or via phone).

    Pregnancy, birth and postpartum planning calls are for you to process anything and everything that comes up during your pregnancy. We will talk about fears, limiting beliefs, setting boundaries, interacting with the medical system (or not and why). We will also go over all the logistics of birthing outside the system and what you will need to set yourself up for a nurturing and supportive postpartum period.

    Birth Trauma Debrief Sessions

    Maybe you had a birth that did not go as planned. Maybe it was a home birth with a midwife that ended up in transfer. Maybe you had planned a hospital birth and are a victim of obstetric violence. Perhaps you have felt like your birth was perfectly normal and you at least had a healthy baby, but something just feels off. You could be 1 month postpartum , 1 year, or 10 years and feeling ready to unpack your birth story. If you need some extra support processing your experience, I am here to listen and guide you towards finding inner peace. How do you want to tell your children their birth story? What stories are you telling yourself about your birth experience? How has your birth affected your mothering journey? Let’s go deep.

    Two 90 minute sessions ~ $180


  • Imagine being able to fully rest in bed with your newborn, warm and cozy, skin to skin. Someone else is making the food, doing the dishes, caring for your older children. All you have to do in those first 6 weeks after birth is bond with your new baby, rest, allow your body to heal, integrate your birth experience, eat nourishing food, be around people you love and trust and RECEIVE the kind of care you deserve.

    The quality of your care in postpartum will directly affect your health for the rest of your life. So give yourself the gift of REST - whether it be one month, 6 weeks, 40 days. Whatever feels good to you and however you can manage to set up your support network, your body will thank you. 

    I am here to support you and your family in this transition so you can have the blissful postpartum experience available to every mother. When a mother is well, her baby is well, and the world is well.

  • "Nina is a masterful curator of The Hearth. Every time I am in Nina's presence I feel welcomed, accepted, and loved for exactly who I am. The spaces she creates to gather reflect her warm, inviting nature and her food is soul-nourishing and mouth-melting! Nina was the first person I turned to for advice when I found out I was pregnant and continues to be a source of calming wisdom in my motherhood journey as I navigate all the ups and downs. She is the ultimate postpartum care package as well. Her presence, touch, and food are all so warm and nourishing to your very core. She brings with her a treasure-trove of knowledge and experience for how to tend to a woman in a holistic way."

    Katie

  • "My experience being photographed by Nina was so incredibly sweet and comfortable. We chatted about birth and the experience of being pregnant, while she was seamlessly taking beautiful shots. Her presence was so grounding and calm, it felt like hanging with a lovely girlfriend. I cherish the pictures she took and would highly recommend her to anyone. My partner also felt a sense of ease and comfort being photographed by her. We are forever grateful for these memories."

    Meghan

  • "When I was pregnant with my daughter I chose to have a completely wild pregnancy outside of the medical system. Despite walking this unconventional path, I still craved connection, sisterhood, guidance and support. Nina provided me with the most nurturing care and sisterhood I could have possibly dreamed of. I am so grateful to have walked through my pregnancy with her by my side. Nina was an essential pillar of my prenatal care as she offered me unwavering support, helped me work through my fears and mirrored back to me my body’s own wisdom and power. Nina is a woman of wisdom, grace, and integrity."

    Mother

  • "I have been attending Nina’s women’s circles for more than 2 years. The deep sisterhood, connection, magic and safety that she has spun into this heart centered community offering has been the most essential component of my self-care on the journey into motherhood. When I began attending the circle I was the only maiden (not yet a mother), and I learned invaluable wisdom from Nina and her circle which prepared me and supported me through this most important initiation of my life. Nina is a natural space holder and nurturer. She is so easy to talk to and I have always felt immediately comfortable, relaxed, and trusting in her presence. She is one of the kindest and most compassionate women I have ever met. I can say with complete confidence that Nina has been the most supportive and influential woman in my life on the path to motherhood, her guidance and wisdom is a true gift to the women of our community. Working with Nina is a breath of fresh air!"

    Kate

  • "My friend surprised me with a pregnancy shoot by Nina and I'm so grateful she did because I'm not usually the type to volunteer to be in front of the camera. Nina made the shoot so breezy and fun and mostly she made me feel beautiful. I will cherish my photos forever. Thank you!"

    Hayley

  • "It was a joy working with Nina. She suggested a beautiful location and her calm and caring demeanor let us feel natural and led to great photos. We have two small children and Nina was very patient and caring. Not only did we get awesome photography but we had fun at the same time. We love the authentic feel of our photos and look forward to working with her again"

    Gaby

  • "Nina has helped me capture beautiful memories for several of my key life moments. She took my pregnancy and postpartum photographs as well as headshots for my business. I so deeply cherish the images she provided. She is easy to coordinate with and always makes me feel at ease in front of the camera. I especially love the images she took on film!"
