Most parents are told to “rest for six weeks” after birth, but the physical work of parenthood
actually starts much earlier. I founded Moms Fit Life because I realized that the gap in our
healthcare system starts during pregnancy. As a Kinesiology graduate and specialist in prenatal
and postpartum movement, I help moms stay strong and comfortable while their bodies change,
and then provide the specific guidance needed to rebuild after delivery. I learned the hard way—
through my own injuries and recovery—that “knowing the science” isn’t the same as having a
plan that works for real life. Whether you’re looking to stay active safely during pregnancy,
preparing your body for the demands of birth, or trying to navigate the “six-week gap” without
getting hurt, I’m here to make sure you feel capable, supported, and confident in your body’s
strength.
My professional background combines both clinical training and specialized sleep education.
I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Social Work (MSW), which provided a strong
foundation in child development, family systems, behavior, communication, and mental health. Later, I
became a Certified Sleep Sense™ Consultant and launched my pediatric sleep consulting practice.
Since founding my business in 2018, I have worked with families across the United States and
internationally, helping children from the newborn stage through the elementary school years develop
healthy, age-appropriate sleep habits. In addition to working directly with families, I have spoken to parent groups, community organizations,
and healthcare professionals. I also collaborate with pediatricians, therapists, educators, and other
child-focused professionals to help families receive comprehensive support.

Grey Area Therapy Jax is a mental health therapy practice specializing in perinatal and reproductive mental health, trauma, grief and life transitions. Our goal is to provide all people (especially parents!) a space to experience self compassion and to know that what you are going through is not something you have to experience alone or feel permanently stuck in. We can get to a hopeful place together! Every person needs different things at different times in their therapy experience which is why we regularly utilize a range of modalities including EMDR, somatic therapy, DBT, CBT, ERP for OCD treatment, family systems, SPACE treatment for child anxiety and couples therapy.
Many of our clients are used to pushing through the demands of pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood or co-parenting and don’t realize how helpful it can be to have additional support through therapy until they experience it themselves. We firmly believe that well supported parents = well supported babies and children = well supported world!
We have a physical location in Jax Beach, can provide Telehealth any where across FL and always offer a free 15 minute call to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to supporting you!

Caring for kids has always been my passion. As a dual-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in both primary and acute care, I’m here to help children thrive at every stage — from newborn days to teenage years. With extensive experience in both the Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units with years of specialized pediatric clinical training, I bring a deep understanding of children’s health across all stages and settings.
Whether it’s a well visit, managing a chronic condition, or answering parent’s late-night question, I strive to make every family feel supported, informed, and cared for. My goal is to create a partnership with families, empowering parents with knowledge and children with confidence as they grow. I believe every child deserves individualized care that supports not only their physical health but also their emotional and developmental well-being.
As a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience caring for the tiniest and most fragile babies in the NICU and mom of two (ages 6 and 4), I know firsthand just how overwhelming and wonderful the early years of parenthood can be. I’ve developed a passion for supporting families through those first precious days, weeks, and months at home caring for their babies. Now I’m bringing expert, compassionate care right to you, no need to pack up yourself and new baby for an appointment across town. Whether it’s newborn wellness, lactation and feeding support, or simply helping parents feel more confident, my goal is to create a calm, supportive space where your family feels guided and cared for every step of the way.
