YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO THROUGH YOUR PREGNANCY AFTER LOSS ALONE
The Haven
INTRODUCING
a safe place to belong
Sometimes, after a storm comes a rainbow — and The Haven is just that. This program comes to you with a story, and if you have made your way here, you probably know that story all too well yourself.
The Haven was created after my own personal journey with pregnancy loss and pregnancy after loss. In 2023, after 4 losses including the loss of my daughter Vienna and my son William, I finally welcomed my first living daughter.
As thrilled as I was to finally be an earthside mother, that pregnancy came with it’s own trauma, scars and tremendous sacrifice. Other than saying goodbye to my babies, my pregnancy after loss was the hardest thing I have ever done. Between living in a world that did not understand how difficult this journey was, the constant fear of being pregnant, the well-intentioned but sometimes hurtful comments, and lack of specific pregnancy after loss care — I found myself surviving, rather than enjoying my pregnancy, and feeling incredibly lonely during one of the most important times of my life. It was during that time, I knew that if I were to successfully bring my baby home, I was going to do all I could to make sure no woman has to go through her pregnancy feeling like this.
From my work as a doula for the past 7 years, I have personally seen the tremendous impact that empowered education, loving, unbiased support and community can have on a pregnancy. It can and will change your entire experience; your pregnancy, your connection to your baby, and yes, even your birth and postpartum.
The Haven is my rainbow; a pregnancy support program created specially for loss moms, by a loss mom. A safe place to go and belong, and be seen by other moms who understand. A place where you don’t ever have to feel alone again in your pregnancy journey.
