About

I am Danica, your guide in celebrating the difficult.

Difficult things make us stronger;
they make us more resilient;
they give us perspective and appreciation;
and they foster a deeper connection with our loved ones.

In our American culture, we are taught to avoid pain and discomfort. We cover up our pain with medications and avoid our feelings with Netflix and comfort foods. As soon as we put our kids to bed we grab a bowl of ice cream, a glass of wine and turn on a show. After all, we deserve it. Don’t we?

When I was preparing for the birth of my first child I took birthing classes and yoga classes where they taught us not to resist pain. Instead, we should relax INTO it. Move TOWARDS it. How counter-cultural! I had two unmedicated water births (one to a 10 pound baby I might add!) and I found that accepting the discomfort of contractions and relaxing into the pain was truly the mindset that allowed me to have two wonderful birth experiences.

It is when we come to the end of ourselves that we find what we are made of;
when we withstand hardships that we discover our true strength;
and when we are broken that we can be rebuilt and reborn.

Motherhood will take you on a journey that breaks all your expectations. Letting go of who you thought you would be as a mother is painful. But the reality of your motherhood in the making will be even better than you imagined.

 

Let me shepherd you to this place of healing and rebirth.

I’m an INFP… “INFP’s always look for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events; they search for ways to make things better. They may be perceived as calm or reserved, yet they have an inner fire and passion.”

I love looking for beauty in the chaos of motherhood. I’ll guide you to a whole new perspective on who you are as a mother and the invaluable gift you are to your children.

Your children’s earliest years will leave a lasting impression on them that they’ll carry with them for the rest of their life. Research shows that children who feel safe and secure in their family relationships have an easier time making friends, are more fulfilled in their careers and live overall happier lives.

Are you ready to see your motherhood with fresh eyes?

Do you want your children to feel safe and valued?

Then let’s get started.
