Elephant Family & Postpartum Coaching
You’re Not Failing. You’re Postpartum, and You Deserve Support.
Postpartum support for the parent who’s running on no sleep, drowning in dishes, worried about every milestone, snapping at their partner, and wondering, “Am I even doing this right?” — so you can steady your emotions, feel supported instead of alone, and finally step into parenting with confidence, clarity, and compassion for yourself.
Postpartum isn’t just diapers and bonding
It’s big emotions. Big shifts. Big expectations.
And a body that’s trying so hard to heal while you’re caring for everyone else.
Maybe your day looks like this:
— running on two hours of broken sleep
— dishes piling up again
— a newborn on your chest and a toddler tugging at your leg
— snapping at your partner because you’re so overwhelmed
— worrying about every milestone
— thinking, “I’m not doing this right.”
— wondering if you’re even cut out for this
You’re not broken.
You’re not a bad parent.
You’re exhausted, under-supported, and trying your best in a season no one prepared you for.
This space is for you.
Postpartum Coaching That Meets You in the Mess
Support for Real Life, Not the Instagram Version
We work through things like:
— anxiety about safety, milestones, and doing it “right”
— postpartum depression or mood swings
— resentment toward your partner
— feeding challenges (pumping, breastfeeding, formula, combo)
— recovery from birth you didn’t expect
— feeling disconnected from your body
— guilt for needing help
— rebooting your identity as a parent and a person
A Coach Who Actually Gets It
I’ve walked this path — the sleepless nights, the fear, the overwhelm.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
You get someone who listens, understands, and brings evidence-based, compassion-filled support.
Program Concept: Elephant Embrace™
Elephant Embrace is a perinatal and postpartum coaching program inspired by the wisdom of elephant herds, where every mother is held, supported, and nurtured.
Core Pillars (The Elephant Embrace Framework)
Nurture (The Circle of Care)
Just as elephant calves are never left alone, new mothers need ongoing support.
Focus: building a postpartum village, partner/family communication, asking for & receiving help.
Strength (The Mother’s Body)
Elephants heal and grow stronger by staying connected to their herd.
Focus: physical recovery, pelvic floor health, rest vs. activity, nutrition for healing.
Wisdom (The Herd’s Memory)
Elephants pass down knowledge through generations, just as maternal wisdom can be shared.
Focus: education on newborn care, sleep, feeding, and maternal mental health.
Bond (The Trunk of Connection)
Elephants touch trunks as reassurance. Both mothers and babies thrive through connection.
Focus: maternal identity, bonding, mental health, and self-compassion practices.
Growth (The Calf’s Journey)
As calves grow under the herd’s watchful eye, mothers rise with confidence.
Focus: finding rhythm, redefining goals, transition back to work/identity beyond motherhood.
Signature Elements
The Herd Model → Every mom in my program is welcomed into the “herd,” reinforcing that you are not alone.
Elephant Rituals → Guided grounding practices, affirmations, or short meditations rooted in connection and resilience.
The Memory Book → A keepsake workbook where you can track recovery, growth, and reflections.

Meet Allison
I know how overwhelming, tender, and sometimes isolating the parenting journey can feel, especially during the peripartum period. As a clinical maternal-child health therapist, postpartum doula, and parent myself, I provide a safe and compassionate space where you can pause, breathe, and truly feel supported.
My approach combines trauma-informed therapy care, postpartum coaching, and mental health support to help you navigate the emotional, physical, and relational shifts that come with new parenthood. Together, we can explore challenges like peripartum anxiety and depression, birth trauma, grief and loss, relationship changes, sexual wellness, and reproductive identity. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to hold it alone.
My intention is simple: for you to feel seen, heard, and cared for. Healing looks different for everyone, and I honor your unique path. We’ll move at your pace, gently and respectfully, creating space for both practical tools and deeper emotional processing.
If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a brave first step. Reaching out for support is not a weakness. It’s a profound act of strength. You deserve care, connection, and a place where you feel truly held.
