Love is my first language. I am the proud mama of a 2014 NICU graduate. As a registered clinical counsellor, my private practice focuses on self-care and treating and relieving the symptoms of trauma. Recognizing the trauma that NICU stays can create, I have turned my 11 years of trauma therapy experience into building community and resources for NICU graduate families. I am an author, speaker and guest blogger on the topic. You can find me at https: //www.mynicufamily.com and at @my_nicu_family on Instagram and Facebook.

Reviews for Loving Myself Again: Self-care from A-Z after a NICU stay

""Even though it's been a while since my son was born, this book touched my heart. It isn't sappy or mushy, but kind and real. The author has a way of knowing what we need as humans at the most frightening and vulnerable time of our lives. She introduces the fact that not only is it urgent to nurture ourselves as we nurture our baby, but she tells us specifically how. Beautifully designed. Beautifully written."" - j b ""Facing a theme like this can be a tough task, but the author managed to bring lightness and simplicity to it. It's a wonderful guide you can read at once or consult when needed. The affirmations in it will make your life better, and you can feel the depth in each word. Wonderful read!"" -Giulia R. ""For overtaxed, stressed people, NICU parents or otherwise, this book gives simple, easy to understand and practice suggestions that anyone can use anytime. This is the kind of book to read through the first time cover to cover, then open to any page anytime you need a little support. I read it through the first time right before drifting off to sleep, and had a wonderful night. I keep a copy handy for me, and gave a copy to my 18-yr-old granddaughter for her to use in life's difficult moments. I wish I had had this book when I was raising my unusual child."" - Amazon Customer
