Journey to Eden Wellness
As a Certified Pre- & Postnatal Wellness Coach, I am on a mission to transform how women experience motherhood — from preconception to postpartum and beyond — by weaving together preventative care, cultural wisdom, and identity-informed support. I founded Journey to Eden Wellness to fill the gaps in traditional maternal care: emotional support rarely offered, holistic healing that fits culturally, and deep guidance through the identity shifts that come with becoming a mother (or planning to become one).
With a pre- and postnatal coaching certification and lived experience of both motherhood and professional ambition, I understand firsthand how motherhood can challenge a woman’s sense of self, health, and purpose. I help clients navigate fertility preservation (like egg freezing), intentional pregnancy preparation, healing in postpartum, and rediscovering themselves years into motherhood — restoring not only their bodies, but their identity, confidence, and inner peace.
My unique approach blends:
- Preventative maternal care — preparing your body, mind, and lifestyle before pregnancy or through fertility choices.
- Cultural and holistic healing practices — honoring ancestral wisdom, nourishment, body care, and culturally aligned support.
- Identity and lifestyle integration — guiding you through the emotional and psychological shift of becoming a mother, so you don’t just “bounce back,” but reinvent your life with clarity, purpose, and grounding.
Through tailored coaching, educational resources, and a nurturing community, I help women prepare intentionally, heal with compassion, and emerge as the empowered mothers — and women — they are meant to be. Whether someone is exploring fertility preservation, expecting, healing postpartum, or redefining themselves years into motherhood, I meet them exactly where they are.
I believe maternal wellness isn’t just a phase; it’s a lifelong journey. And with Journey to Eden Wellness, I’m creating a new standard — one rooted in care, culture, and authenticity.
Transforming Maternal Wellness Through Preventative, Cultural & Identity-Informed Care
Course Summary
Maternal wellness is at a turning point. While more women are seeking support across fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and the evolving phases of motherhood, the systems around them still leave critical needs unmet. This presentation introduces a new, forward-thinking perspective - one that centers preventative care, honors cultural wisdom, and acknowledges the profound identity shifts that shape every stage of the motherhood journey.
Rather than treating challenges after they appear, this approach focuses on preparing women emotionally, physically, and culturally before they reach each milestone. It reframes maternal wellbeing as a continuum that requires care, intention, and grounding long before conception and long after the traditional postpartum period ends.
Participants will gain insight into the overlooked factors that influence maternal health, the lived experiences mothers aren't often given space to express, and the essentail elements of a more holistic, aligned, and restorative model of care. The session is designed to expand awareness, spark reflection, and inspire a new standard for how women are supported during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.
This conversation opens the door to what maternal wellness can become when we move beyond the limitations of traditional care - and toward a more preventative, culturally rooted, and indentity-informed approach that truly meets women where they are.
