Tend and Befriend

  • Summary

  • Every woman struggles with her health, body or mental health issues during one or more stages of her life. In every woman’s story there is a solution to another woman's difficulty., sharing our individual stories with one another will unleash our collective power. Our dream is to be a village of professionals and women who are trying to change the process of getting us thinking outside of statistics to care for women and into our stories and individual bodies. We hope to create a space where love and knowledge can be available to mamas and their families in every experience. You are not alone on your path, let me guide you by introducing you to other women who have walked the path before you.
