Fertility wellness and mindfulness are essential components for those on the journey to conception. Nurturing your body and mind can create a harmonious environment that supports reproductive health. By integrating mindfulness and embodied practices—such as meditation, yoga, breath work, hind-brain speaking—into your daily routine, you can reduce stress, enhance emotional balance, and improve embodied well-being. Fostering an embodied approach enables you to connect more deeply with your body, understand its rhythms, and cultivate an embodied space for conception to flourish. Embrace this embodied path toward fertility, where self -care meets intentional living, empowering you to navigate the ups and downs with grace and resilience.

Pregnancy, birth and the postpartum periods are transformative times filled with excitement and challenges. It is essential to have the best support to navigate the emotional and physical changes that accompany this journey. At Embodied Perinatal Wellness, you will be provided with compassionate guidance and tailored resources to empower you through every stage. With prenatal, birth and postpartum education, EPW’s embodied approach focuses on nurturing your body, mind and family. EPW is here to help you embrace this unique experience with confidence, ensuring you feel seen, supported and celebrated. Discover a pathway to wellness that honors your individual needs—because you’re not alone on this journey.

Infant feeding and development support play a crucial role in nurturing your baby’s growth and well-being during those early, formative months. Understanding key milestones in development helps you to recognize and celebrate your child’s unique journey. EPW’s attuned approach to all types of feeding, ensures that you have the guidance and resources needed to foster a beautiful bond with your baby. EPW focuses on embodied practices that empower parents, addressing not just nutritional needs, but also emotional connections. EPW endeavors to provide a supportive network that honors your baby’s health, development and positive feeding experience.

Partnering and parenting in embodied attachment is a journey that emphasizes the importance of emotional bonds and mutual support. Building secure connections involves understanding and responding to each other’s needs, fostering a nurturing environment for both the child and the “Triadic Connection.” This cooperative approach allows parents/caregivers to work together, creating a triadic support, enhancing the child’s sense of safety and belonging, allowing the child to thrive emotionally and socially. Prioritizing the Triadic Connection not only strengthens family foundations but also supports resilience during life’s inevitable challenges.

Hi!  I’m Aubrey.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapists specializing in somatic therapy to support individuals, couples and families throughout their perinatal wellness journeys. With expertise in areas such as fertility, pre-conception, conception, womb and birth trauma, infant feeding, child development, pregnancy, birth and postpartum support, and parenting, I offer an embodied approach to care. My practice integrates pre- & perinatal psychology, EMDR, somatic therapy, EFT, and attachment therapies, creating a nurturing space for those navigating trauma, healing, parenthood, and partnership.

My background in midwifery and experience as a doula, child development educator, and preschool teacher enhance my understanding of the challenges and feelings of isolation that many families encounter during the perinatal period. Personal insights from my own fertility, parenting and partnering experiences contribute to a genuine connection with my clients.

Outside of my practice, I find joy in the rhythm of nature, exploring creativity in the kitchen, and enjoying spontaneous dance parties.
