The Nest Community
A supportive, ongoing community for mothers navigating
postpartum and parenting after loss
$22 a month. No hidden fees, no surprise add ons. Just a community that gets what this season actually is.
This is a space where your joy, your grief, and your questions are all held with care. Where becoming a mother to a living child after loss is honoured in all its complexity. Where you don’t have to explain yourself — because the women here already understand.
The Nest exists for the season that often feels the most isolating: after the baby is here. When support drops off. When the world assumes you’re “okay now.” When grief resurfaces alongside love, and your identity continues to shift in unexpected ways.
What’s Included
One learning workshop every month
Sleep support, nervous system care, parenting with grief, whatever this stage of parenting after loss is asking of you. Always recorded.
One connection call every month
A space to show up as a mother who is holding a living child and her angel babies at the same time, with other women doing the same.
A private chat that doesn't close when the call ends
The conversation from your connection call keeps going all month, not just for the hour you were on Zoom.
The Sharing Circle
Where you can post what you're carrying and have women respond who actually understand it, any day, any hour.
Growing resource library
Built specifically for nervous system care and parenting after loss, from the early weeks through the toddler years.
Replay archive
Every workshop, every past connection call, saved and searchable.
Async access to Kristin
Questions go into the support channel and she answers them. You are not shouting into a void.
Haven graduates, your first month is on us

Join now for just $22/Month
No long term commitments. Only support.
Two calls a month, on purpose
Two calls a month. Two different reasons to show up.
One is for learning. One is for connection. They're not the same thing, and we don't pretend they are.
The learning workshop
Teaching-focused, led by Kristin or a guest expert. Sleep, nervous system regulation, parenting through grief, the practical and the tender both. Always recorded.
The connection call
The connection call is a support group, but more immersive. One hour together, face to face, and then the conversation keeps going in the private chat for the rest of the month. Many of the women in this room are Haven graduates. All of them are parenting after loss.
The Nest is for you if…
🤍
You are postpartum or parenting a living child after pregnancy or infant loss
🤍
You feel alone now that your baby is here and support has quieted
🤍
You’re navigating identity shifts as joy
and grief coexist
🤍
You’re experiencing overwhelm, depletion, or nervous system burnout
🤍
You want community that understands parenting after loss without minimizing it
🤍
You’re looking for ongoing support — not just in the early weeks, but long-term
Your story matters here.
The Nest isn't designed to end when the newborn fog lifts. Many members stay through toddlerhood because parenting after loss doesn't stop being complicated, and neither does the need for people who understand.

REAL EXPERIENCE OF THE NEST
"The Nest has been such a helpful resource while going through the most difficult experience ever.
It has made me realize and understand that I am not alone in my feelings and thoughts. I now have support and encouragement from my new friends here, something that is hard to come by in my personal life. The gentle accountability in the 100 day movement challenge was what I needed to get my mind in a better headspace too."
"I’ve only been in this community for about 3 months but it has been such a great help.
I don’t feel alone navigating this season of my life, the conversations are so informational and comforting. Knowing that we can all support each other through everything is amazing. I am so grateful to have found this space."
THE BIRTH OF THE NEST
Kristin’s Story:
For so long, I held my breath, waiting for my baby to come. Waiting for the moment I could finally exhale.
After losing four of my babies, including my daughter Vienna and son William, I learned how to live in that waiting. How to survive pregnancy by staying vigilant. How to brace myself for heartbreak even while hoping with everything I had.
So when I finally carried my daughter Sena home in my arms, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. I truly never believed this moment would come until I walked through my front door.
And then… I realized I wasn’t prepared for what came next.
Motherhood after loss is beautiful. And yet, there are so many other complicated emotions there too. The feelings you carried during your pregnancy don’t disappear. They transform. They come with you into postpartum, motherhood, and into this new version of yourself.
I was elated — and shocked by how hard it was.
As a doula with over 10 years of experience, I expected to feel more prepared. I knew that support dropped off and that people would check-in less frequently. But knowing and being prepared for that experience are very different things. Support dropped off. The world moved on. And I was still finding my footing in this new normal.
So I did what I’ve always done when support was missing… I created what I couldn’t find.
The Nest was born from this season. From the knowing that mothers parenting after loss need care, connection, and understanding long after the baby arrives. A place where nothing needs to be explained. Where gratitude and grief are both welcome. Where you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
You were never meant to navigate this chapter alone.

Becoming an Earth Mama After Loss Guide
If you’re not ready to join The Nest, I have a free download ready for you for now. For many mothers after loss, postpartum is something we don’t let ourselves fully imagine. This guide is here to gently orient you to what this transition might hold; physically, emotionally, and relationally, especially if you’re feeling surprised by the intensity of it all.
Your Questions, Answered
-
The Nest is for women who are postpartum or parenting a living child after experiencing pregnancy or infant loss. This space is specifically for mothers who are navigating the unique emotional landscape of raising a living child while still carrying grief, memory, and love for the baby or babies they lost.
-
The Nest was created for loss moms, by a loss mom, with the understanding that parenting after loss is very different. Joy and grief often coexist. Milestones can bring their own kind of heartbreak. Identity continues to shift in ways that aren’t always acknowledged.
This isn’t a space that asks you to “move on” or leave your baby behind. It’s a place where your full story is welcome — where motherhood, grief, and healing can exist together in a safe community, without having to explain yourself.
-
No. You’re welcome to join The Nest whether or not you’ve been part of any previous offerings. While many women arrive here after pregnancy after loss, The Nest is open to any mother parenting a living child after loss who feels drawn to this kind of support.
-
Inside The Nest, you’ll experience:
Access to a supportive, understanding community of mothers parenting after loss
Monthly live workshops that blend education and connection
Access to all past workshop recordings
A growing library of resources created by Kristin
Expert support from a doula with over 10 years of experience — ask questions and receive grounded, compassionate guidance when things come up in real life
Support here is designed to be sustaining and ongoing, not something you “complete.”
-
Workshops inside The Nest are a mix of learning-based and connection-centered gatherings. All workshops are geared specifically toward the unique experience of parenting after loss. Topics change month to month and may include mothering while grieving, newborn care, sleep support, postpartum healing, boundaries, community, and more.
Some workshops are led by Kristin, while others feature carefully chosen guest teachers. If you can’t attend live, all sessions are recorded and available to watch later.
-
Many mothers find that the need for support actually increases after the baby arrives, especially once external support fades (and sleep deprivation hits). Parenting after loss can bring up unexpected emotions, fears, and identity shifts — even months or years later.
The Nest exists to support you through these ongoing transitions, not just the early weeks.
-
Yes. The Nest is designed to fit into real life. There’s no expectation to attend everything live or participate constantly. You’re welcome to engage as much or as little you have space for — whether that’s joining workshops, reading posts quietly, or returning to resources when you need them.
-
No. The Nest is a monthly membership, and you’re free to stay for as long — or as little — as it feels supportive. Many women choose to remain long term as they navigate the evolving experience of parenting after loss and begin to build long lasting, supportive friendships. This is a space created to find your tribe and form deep bonds that can feel like a true sisterhood.
-
The Nest is $22 per month. You can join or cancel at any time.
-
Yes. Grief is already part of your story — and The Nest is a space where it’s welcome, not something you need to manage alone. You’re never required to share more than feels right, and you’re always in control of how you engage.
