Hand in Hand Postpartum Support

It's okay not to be well. It's normal to feel overwhelmed sometimes. Asking for help is a sign of

strength, not weakness.

You Don't Have to Navigate This Alone

I help families by first actively listening and understanding the specifics of your situation, no matter how complex it seems. We work together. You don't have to navigate this alone—I am here to help you. How I work with you: I truly hear what you're saying and try to understand your perspective and frustrations. Acknowledging your feelings creates a connection and shows that I value your experience. When working with me, I want you to feel understood and appreciated. I spend genuine time with my clients because that's what matters most.

About Maria

For five years

I've had the privilege of supporting families during the postpartum period. This has been a life-changing experience—a learning journey where I discover something new withevery family I serve. My greatest rewards are the relationships I build—having people who love me for who I am and what I provide for them and their family members. That's the best feeling on earth: knowing you've become part of their lives. Why I do this work: Daily I am reminded that you are a capable and strong mother, that it's okay to ask for help, and that the bond with your baby is growing stronger every day. Focus on love, celebrate small victories, and give yourself permission to learn and adapt. You don't have to be perfect—you're doing the best you can, and that's more than enough.
