Our mission is to provide practical resources & hope after pregnancy & infant loss. No loss is identical to another, and so there is no one-size-fits-all approach to navigating grief. In addition, everyone is unique and that is reflected in the many amazing ways they remember their baby's memory. We Provide Hope With: Donated Bereavement Book Carts to local hospitals for parents to receive free books on pregnancy & infant loss Affordable keepsake materials for hospital bereavement programs Providing perinatal bereavement training to local hospital providers A comprehensive website with hundreds of resource articles and a directory of other organizations A list of Charlotte, NC & North Carolina events, grief resources, and support group links Ways to donate, dedicate and remember your baby's legacy As we honor and remember all our babies gone too soon, we hold space in our hearts for yours. Gemma's Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Charlotte, NC dedicated to helping parents after pregnancy and infant loss. 100% of our work is volunteer based.

At Willow Family Chiropractic we want to empower women in any stage of their journey to trust their body and to advocate for them when needed. We work with and support women through their fertility journeys, through their pregnancy, through birth and labor if needed, and through their breastfeeding and postpartum journey. We understand that each of these stages look different for every woman and the type of support and care we provide should be unique to that individual and her family. We provide nervous system based chiropractic care that looks at your body as whole and allows your body to regulate and function the best it can. We also provide nutritional and home exercise recommendations when needed but also work with a group of trusted providers that can go deeper in those areas if need be. Once baby is born we work with mom and baby together because we understand that there is a connection between mom and baby that is sacred. Taking care of mom’s nervous system and baby's nervous system at the same time allows for a greater connection and easier development and adaption to this new world for baby and more ease, comfort, and hormonal regulation for mom.

As a pelvic physical therapist, I have the dream that every women who is pregnant or has delivered a baby would be able to see a pelvic physical therapist at least once! I want women to know there is someone to walk alongside them in the journey. Along this journey we can talk about the ways the body will change and how to take care of it before, during and after pregnancy. We can work together to ensure safe exercise, postural awareness, and perineal care. Post partum care is essential and I'm here to partner with women who may be having urinary incontinence, pain, or difficulty returning to exercise!

I've always identified as a sports/ortho PT, until I realized how little I knew to help pregnant and postpartum patients. My passion is providing guidance during pregnancy and into the fourth trimester, especially in relation to fitness and movement. I am trained to perform internal and external assessments of the pelvic floor, but focus more on applying that information to the big picture: posture, hip strength, movement, breath mechanics, and more. Women leave our sessions feeling confident in how to stay moving safely during pregnancy, and return to exercise postpartum without dysfunction.
